Leg warmers are cute on more than just babies too. Here are a few examples of them on bigger girls:)
I have people ask me all the time where I got London's Leg Warmers and when I say that I made them they give me the, "I'm never going to do that" look. BUT they are so EASY to make so I thought that maybe you would like to know how. So here is a Tutorial for ya:)
1: Buy Long Socks. I have found that Target has the best ones, they sell 3 pair for $6.00:)
2: Cut the foot off, then cut between the heel and toe of the foot and keep the MIDDLE PORTION!
3. Take the middle portion and make a cuff by folding it in half so the right side is showing.
4: Slip the cuff onto the bottom of sock so the raw edges all line up
5: All the raw edges should line up now.
6. Do this to both of them.
7. Sew cuff and sock together, you will be able to go all the way around the sock. If you get stuck then take the sock of the sewing machine and readjust then finish the last few inches.
This is your finished product:)
I don't have London wearing them because I gave these away but here is a pic of a different pair that I made for her pictures. Once your little one gets bigger the leggings don't have to go all the way to there feet. For bigger girls they can go to mid calf and it's really cute.

so cute, and great tutorial. They would never fit on Lincoln's thunder thighs ☺! So much cuter on girls legs
Is Claire too big for them? They are so cute.
Clair is not to big for them Tara. They are so cute on little girls Clair's age. they wear them so they only go to the middle of their calf. I'll find you a picture and post it on my blog so you can see what I am talking about.
Hey... I recognize those socks! I bought some at Target just on Sat. and was waiting for you to show me how to do them. I'm so excited to put them on my little girl. Thanks again for them. I absolutely adore them. No baby yet... I'll keep you posted.
you explained it perfect. i have looked at other descriptions and was lost...maybe it was just me, but yours makes total sense and the pictures are helpful. i can't wait to try it out, so cute!! that little london is darling!
Too cute! If I knew how to turn on a sewing machine I might just try this!
I DID IT...and if I can, you can. Thanks Lindsey. I made 2 pair and actually sewed them without help. I can have a girl now.
