Amazingly well written and photographed tutorial! I literally spent my first time with a sewing machine two days ago when i tried to make cloth baby wipes. I saw this and it seemed too easy not to try too! I had great success, and i simply refurbished some old socks i had in the back of my drawer, so no real cost to me for five pairs of baby legs! I also second the commentor who gave thanks for telling us exactly how to set our machine dials. As a genuine beginner, i appreciate that! Keep up the grest work, and please post more tutorials!

I’m so excited to try this! I have a baby boy and can’t find many leg warmers for boys, but this will expand my options!

Hi! I just had to say thank you! I never leave messages but I really appreciate this! I have already made a couple pairs for my twins(a boy and girl) as their little legs get cold with just onsies. Plus its so much easier to change diapers with them. Target has some great patterns for boys and I just picked up a couple pairs at Walmart with the cutest Valentine’s Day patterns. I think I paid $3 for 2 pair! Just wondering if you have tried to add tulle at the bottom or ribbon for a ruffle?
Thank you!!!!!!!!
Beth
PS Your twins are adorable!!!!

ADORABLE. 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!

Generally yes you but the un cut sock edge on the thigh because it has more stretch. 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!
