Belts and Leg Warmers

While Matt was away on a men's retreat this weekend Grace and I got to spend some time at my parents' house. It was lots of fun and I know Grace loves spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. Since my mom has a serger I was able to spend some time working on a leg warmer project I had been thinking about for a while. I bought a pair of super cute leg warmers at Target long before Grace was born and am a little appalled that I spent 10 dollars on them. So, I did some interneting and found several tutorials on how to make baby leg warmers out of adult knee socks. Lot's of people have blogged the steps with pictures but I felt weird linking other blogs of people I don't know to my own so just search "baby leg warmers out of socks." The eHow directions are found here. Anyway, I had three pairs of knee socks that I never wear (they annoy me) so I made some cute leg warmers for Grace.


The other project that I decided to work on was kids belts. I was watching my friend's 18 month old little girl the other day and her jeans were constantly falling down. I decided since my mom has tons of cute fabric I would whip up a couple belts for her. It was fun and thought it would be a fun surprise for my friend. Of course I had to make matching ones for Grace. (Amy, I will probably be dropping the belts off on Monday afternoon for Charlotte seeing as one of them is seasonal.)
