While Justin thinks they are silly, he doesn’t take them off Jules. I like babylegs because they are cute, easy to pull on and off, and can leave them on for diaper changes. They’ll fit him through toddler-hood and can double as arm warmers on cool fall nights. Plus, they are SUPER easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:<\/p>\n

Socks – knee high (I got these in the woman’s section at Target-2 for $3)
Scissors
pins
Sewing Machine
or
needle and thread<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut off the heel and toe of the socks.<\/p>\n

Don’t these remind you of the socks your 70’s dad would wear?<\/span>
<\/a><\/p>\n

Take the foot part of the sock (minus the heel and toe) and fold it into itself so the right sides are facing out. This will be the new cuff.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Slide the new cuff over the cut end of the sock – right sides together. (You’ll actually match the edges, I just went further so you can see.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Match the edges and pin.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a med. zig-zag stitch (for stretch), sew about 1\/4″ from the edge or as close as you want making sure to catch all 3 layers. If you have a serger, use the knife for a trimmed edge. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Well done! You just saved yourself $10!
<\/a><\/p>\n

For some reason, I don’t have pics of Jules wearing this pair, but here he is wearing another pair. Quite the outfit, eh?<\/span><\/p>\n
