How to Make Baby Leggings from Women's Socks

Baby leggings are a popular clothing accessory for babies and young children. They are a fashionable, colorful, and whimsical way to protect delicate baby legs from sun, cold, insects, and injuries associated with crawling and toddling. Instead of purchasing expensive baby leggings from a boutique shop, purchase a wild pair of women's socks and transform them into stylish baby leggings in just a short time.

Things You'll Need

• Women's socks
• Scissors
• Sewing machine
• Matching thread
• Pins

Instructions

1. Lay out both socks so that they are flat and straight, and the foot portions of the socks extend out from the leg portions of the socks at approximately 45-degree angles.

2. Cut the foot portions off the leg portions immediately above the ankles. The cutting line should be parallel to the top edge of the leg portions of the socks.

3. Turn the leg portions inside out and roll up the cut-off bottom edges approximately one inch. Pin to secure.

4. Sew with the machine around the turned-up portion approximately 3/4 of an inch away from the folded edge (i.e., approximately 1/4 inch below the top of the fold).

5. Turn the leg portions right side out to finish the baby leggings.
