Say it ain't sew

Just because a really nice Bernina lives in my basement (it's my mothers) does not mean I am good at sewing.  However, I saw a fellow blogger post about making cute leg warmers for her daughter that were very easy and inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try.

I used this blog for directions.

I bought cute knee high socks on sale at Target,4 pair for $7.  That is way cheaper than ONE pair of babylegs.

After figuring out how to thread the machine (it only took me one try mom, you would be so proud). I quickly  got the hang of it and created these....


Alayna was super excited to model them (her sister was NOT!)  Excuse the bedhead she just woke up from her nap!

I guess the sewing lessons my mother tortured me with provided me as a young girl finally paid off.

Is it bad that I don't even know what a bernina is for sure, I guess it must be a sewing machine ;-) They are awesome and look so cute on Alayna!

Ok, my new sewing machine is still in the box! Sad! Plus I was just thinking I need some new baby legs. Jax legs are too long for the babylegs brand to fit all the way. Im so going to try this!

Speaking of sewing, a blog i follow is trying to auction off a baby quilt to benefit two girls from Reece's Rainbow. If anyone could help spread the word or possibly bid on the quilt that would be amazing! Here is the link to the auction, God Bless!
