leg warmers

so i have been looking like crazy online to find inexpensive leg warmers. let me just say...it is impossible to find them!!

the cheapest pair that i have found is $7.50/ pair. okay that doesn't sound outrageous, but if i want more than one pair, then that is just too much to spend.

the other night i was looking online again and found the perfect site...it explained an easy and inexpensive way to get leg warmers...

make them yourself.

now i am anything but a seamstress... (oh contrar...i know you are shocked since i was a home ec major, but it is true)

but, yesterday i sat down with the tutorial and began the step-by-step process.

i started with a pair of my knee socks...

cut off the toe and the heel...

turned the foot part inside out and in half...

put the ankle part into the folded foot part...

sewed the raw edges together...

and voila!!

a pair of peg warmers!!


well, as i said before, one pair just isn't enough...so i grabbed the other pair of knee socks i had in my drawer and began the process again...

two pairs just isn't enough, especially since they hadn't cost me anything yet...so i went to target and bought more knee socks for just $2/ pair.

isn't that a great deal?! so instead of paying $7.50 - $12/ pair i only spent $2!!

gemma was pretty excited about them...she is quite fashionable!!
