Sometimes, under a dress, or seasonal outfit, or whatnot, I like my Little Lady to have "Baby Legs" (legwarmers), but I don't want to pay for the cost of the real thing. So I make my own.
Usually, I just buy a pair of women's socks, and cut the feet off. I don't mind the way the cut fabric kind of curls up and gives them an "unfinished" look. I think it gives them some personality.
I've made her some for her Christmas and Valentine's outfits, as well as a pair she wore in our family portraits the other week.

Recently I purchased a pair of socks on clearance for my Little Lady so I could make her a new pair of legwarmers. I really thought they were cute, but since they were argyle, I knew all the extra thread inside would cause fraying when I cut the feet off.
I decided to head on down to JoAnn's (OK, I was going anyways. So what?) to look for some type of trim to put on the bottom of them. I found the perfect rosette style ribbon trim for them!! I bought one yard.

| Lightly apply the binding glue liquid to your trim. After this step, I did smear it around a bit with my finger, to achieve better coverage. |
 |
| After the trim was applied, I let it dry on the soda bottle so that it would maintain it's shape and so that the leg warmer wouldn't adhere to itself. |
Here is the finished product. I love the way it turned out, and Little Lady sure feels pretty fancy too!!'

| How perfectly does this trim match her dress? |
