Making baby legs

 Do you LOVE those cute baby legs but dont like the idea of shelling out $12 big ones for each pair?

I decided to try my hand at making my own pair and discovered a dual frugality!

I chose a knee high pair of socks for a longer fit on the giant baby. 

First cut the sock portion off the socks. Leaving some room for stitching.

Then, roll 1/4 inch of the right side of the sock UNDER twice, creating an area to stitch on. I practiced with the sock portion first.

 

I used a zigzag stitch for a little more give, although I was finding that because of the knit fabric it was stretching too much and ruffling.  Not as cute on a boy ;)  So I switched to a strait stitch half way through. 

A pair of socks for myself! And a pair of baby legs for the baby! 

Here is the giant baby modeling his new socks.
