LMS insists on wearing skirts most days, so I recently made several more leggings to keep her legs warm now that it's getting colder. I check the women's sock section every time I'm at Target, and buy any knee socks that are cute. They usually run $2/ a pair, but I have gotten some on sale for less. I've been saving them in my to-do pile, and knocked them all out in an hour or so. I followed the same method I used here.
We also stopped by Goodwill awhile ago and found some inexpensive clothes to make more skirts for LMS. The first skirt I made started out life as a 3T jumper. It's a cute pink corduroy jumper, but way too short for LMS's long torso.
I cut the bodice off (as close to the arm holes as possible),
made a simple casing for elastic, then inserted the elastic. Done!
Hmmm. Not sure about the whole outfit (especially the boots), but she picked it all out and was happy with it. I do like the argyle leggings with the skirt. And they were very inexpensive, which makes me happy :)

cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the repurposing stuff, but can't seem to get into it myself.
Yeah, it's kind of hit and miss for me. Though I think a lot of that is because I have so many projects and so little time :)
