Baby Legs with Flair!

Okay, I know I have said it before, but I really do LOVE me some baby legs.  I recently saw some at the store with an adorable tulle accent.  I couldn't resist making some for Belle

Materials: A pair of women's knee high socks or little girl's over the knee socks, six- 2 by 10 inch strips of tulle, and coordinating thread.
(By the way, I bought the knee socks at Target.  They are on clearance for $1.  The tulle is from a tutu that no longer fits Belle)

Step 1:  Cut the heel and the toe from the socks. You will then have 4 strips, 2 long & 2 short.

Step 2:  Using three of the tulle strips, lie them on top of each other and take a gathering stitch along the top of the tulle.

Step 3:  Turn the long sock strips inside out and fold the small strips inside of each other right sides out.

Step 4:  Sew the tulle onto the small tube.

(sorry the colors keep changing, I was making two sets while taking photos)

Step 5: Stuff the small tube with the tulle attached into the large tube.

Step 6:  Sew the small tube to the long tube.

Step 6:  Turn  right side out and put them on some cute baby's legs.

Lace for Baby & Momma

 I am loving the lace and ruffle trend right now.  But, let's face it, I live in T-shirts and Belle lives in legwarmers.  Never fear here is how to lace-up both baby and momma with this T-shirt refashion and a pair of lace baby legs.

COWBOY BIBS

My friend is having a baby boy and so, I made her a set of these cute bibs.

I have always loved cowboy stuff for boys. You can also make some for girls using hot pink or purple bandannas. 

Here is what you need:

• Bandanna's ( I got both of these at JoAnn's for $1.87 with a coupon) 
• double fold bias tape 
• terry cloth (you can usually find different colors at most fabric stores but you can also use a hand towel)  

Step #1

Cut your bandanna's in half. I like to iron a line down the middle.

Step #2

Hem the part of the bandanna that you just cut.  

Step # 3

Cut out a piece of terry cloth into this shape.  I made mine small for a smaller baby but you can also cut them bigger. 

Step #4
Sew on your bias tape.  I like to start with one piece on the top straight edge and then do a second piece on the curved edge, fold down bias tape edges to finish. 

Step #5

Fold both the bandanna and the terry cloth part in half and iron down the middle.   

Step #6

Pin the bandanna how you like it, make sure to line up the middles. 

Step # 7

 Attach the bandanna by sewing like this.  

Step # 8

Fold the bandana down in front and then make small folds in the back and pin.   I am sorry that I don't really have a great picture of this.  You just have to play with your bandanna until you like how it looks.



Step #9
 Sew a line down the middle.  When you get a little past the fold, reverse and sew all the way back.  

Step#10
Tie it around a cute baby.  My baby is getting a little old for a bib but I just told him he was a cowboy.
