My DIY Baby Leg Warmers

I love to do things with my hands. I enjoy it even more when I get to see things done by them. So, I've recently had an impulsive craving to have my own sewing machine. I've done absolutely every bit of wonderful excuses to make my husband buy me one.

Well, while waiting for this simple obsession of getting into a sewing fantasy. I was still able to do some cute, fancy, hand-sewn leg warmers I've done for the kids! They also look and work great as arm warmers for my 5-year old who occasionally feel cold when we go out. I need not layer his clothes anymore with the hot weather we have.

What's great about these DIY warmers - they are reallyyy cheap! I saw one like this online but they are quite pricey for a money saving twin-mother like myself. Besides, I would need several of these should I decide to buy some. So, instead of spending a lot, I just got into my usual online research and find  a way on how to make one. To my not so usual surprise (for I almost, always get info on the net anyway) I came into this website by CraftyGemini. I love how she clearly explained how to easily do those warmers.

I need not go into details as to the steps on how to do it. You can just jump right into her site and watch her video tutorial.

When I personally and locally made this, it just cost me P60/pair! I just bought 3 pairs of Burlington teens' knee high socks at SM Department Store (P179/3 pairs!) and did them with my crafty lil' helper hands.  I love the designs of the teens' knee high socks, the prints are really cute. They have plain colored ones, stripes and even heart patterns (rock and roll style).

I simply love it and enjoy fashioning it up with my girls.  It is way too easy now to change the twins' nappy. Cuts the nappy change time by about 50% vs. the leggings-style pants!  Oh, keeps their legs off those nasty mosquitoes too.
