Done!

Here's the finished product. Kaitlyn wasn't to happy about having them on. I think she's tired and cranky. Don't you love her Tinkerbell panties over her diaper? Hehehe... It's really warm today and when we were putting her down for a nap I could foresee her diaper coming off with only a dress on. To save her the trouble we took the dress off her and slipped the panties over her diaper. She has been running around like this for the last couple hours.

Anyway, back to the leg warmers or leggings, whatever you want to call them. They were easy to make and would have only been easier if I didn't have to go look at something Kaitlyn had about four times, change a diaper, dig Hot Wheels out from under the sewing machine and so forth.

The only tall funky socks sold at the BX were Mud brand. If I wanted them in white I had to take the ones that said "spoiled rotten", "boy crazy" and so on. I decided for $6 a pair I would just stick with the black and polka dotted ones.

Here's a random picture from today.

Kaitlyn dumped out her cloth diapers (mulitple times) so she could get into the basket.

=(

I have the wrong kind of socks. Tomorrow (maybe tonight) I will have to hit up the BX (Base Exchange) for socks. For those still scratching their heads wondering what I'm talking about it's these...

These actually sell at Target for $12

For those who want some, but really don't sew there are a crazy amount available on Etsy in every imaginable pattern and print and lower priced then Target. Here's one pair I found that look close to the one I posted from Target.

These are sold by Knotty Baby Wear for $8 with FREE shipping. You sure can't get that from Target. You don't have to waste gas money to get these either. She also has a 2 for $10 deal.

Monkey Legs sells these for $9. Her shipping is a low $2.50 for 1-10 pairs of leggings. She offers 2 for $16 specials. They look like they are from the same pattern I found.

You can find these on Etsy too. Or make your own using some of the very same fun socks these people did.

Leggings

I found a tutorial online for baby leggings. I've looked at them several times online, but in the end decided I didn't want to spend $10-12 on a pair. This lady uses a $1.96 pair of socks from Walmart and 10 minutes of her time to make a set of leggings. I'm going to try it with a pair of my crazy socks and if they turn out well then I will go buy some socks in white and a few other colors so Kaitlyn's legs will be covered. I may not need knit tights after all. I'm hopeful these will work out.
