What baby needs pants when you have baby leggings!!!!!
Baby leggings are huge for babies right now and if you're anything like me and don't want to spend $12.00 for them. Here is a simple tutorial to make them. It's quick and is easy in terms of sewing skill level.
I have searched and tried a lot of different tutorials but I have to say my favorite tutorial is from Little Birdie Secrets.
I like that you don't have any seam lines when you are finished.
I did make a few changes to that tutorial but it's only because I don't hand sew...ever! I'm really am horrible at it plus a machine is so much faster.
Baby Leggings
I bought these pair of knee high socks at the dollar store.

I cut about 12" of length or you can use a regular babyleg as your measuring tool (You will pretty much just be cutting off the foot of the sock at the ankle.)
Make sure you leave a little extra length for the seam.
*** For a No Sew version, you can let the cut edge roll and you would be finished at this point. ***

Next, turn the legging inside out and make a 1/4" seam and and sew. You can use a straight stitch or zig-zag stitch. I used a zig-zag stitch.

Make sure you don't accidentally catch the other side since you are sewing a small opening. I keep my finger in between. Also, don't stretch/pull while sewing or you will make too big of an opening.

Repeat the process on the other legging, turn right side out and.....that's it!!

What a clever idea! I wish I had some:)
