I’m definitely not an artsy-fartsy kind of mama, but I made a pair of these in about 10 minutes flat. So cute and EASY!

I wouldn’t recommend elastic thread for three reasons.

1.) Though it makes for a stretchier stitch it is still limited to how tight it can be pulled by the same stitch length
2.) It gathers as you sew with it most of the time causing
3.) It is not designed for seams… it is to stretchy & can cause them to fall apart.

The best application I have found in sewing for elastic thread is gathering & shirring.

If you are sewing them by hand (not on a sewing machine) I believe you want to use a back stitch? Also some babies like my niece simply have very chunky thighs & there really isn’t a good way to sew them to use the cuff on top.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the very easy tutorial…

Do you use the prefinished end around the thigh? Have you ever used elastic thread?…or do you just really stretch out the fabric while you sew so that there is plenty of room for stretch?
Thanks for any tips.
Lisa

So sorry you lost your baby girl. What a lovely idea you have!
We lost a full term baby 24 years ago. Jesus has been our comfort all along the way. I hope you have that comfort, too.
Now I’m a first time grandma and will be making legwarmers. Just found toe socks that are one long tube with toes on the ends. Bright and colorful! I’m going to make some out of them. Love, MJ

For me to be a part time SAHM Ive had to really budget my money and can’t afford the cute baby legs, but I have a lot of socks laying around, and now my baby can have her cute “baby legs” for free!! I usually dont leave comments but I love this tutorial and had to :)

I plan on taking some more/better photo’s for this soon.

Obviously everyone else “got it” but I didn’t. Thanks for the idea and for your help.
