As most of you guessed by now, I'm willing to try just about anything crafty, even if it means that I will suck at it. And I will be honest, most of the time I do! Ha! That's okay with me. I'm fine with it, so when I was looking around the other day at a consignment store I saw these cute leg warmers called BabyLegs. They are adorable. They're for babies who are just starting to crawl and protection from the ground, scuffing and all that that happens to their little knees sometimes.
Well, I don't have kids crawling anymore, but I've been noticing little girls wearing them as arm warmers and leg warmers. So, my friend Deanne Galloway gave me the link to a tutorial on how to make them. I found that some of the steps were confusing, so if you have any questions, just ask me. The link is here.

I think it is great you make things yourself! I haven't done too much sewing but I would like to be able to make my kids things as well.
I don't care if you copy at all!! In fact I copied the idea from somewhere else.

I saw the hand prints in the background and really wanted that too. That was more what I was picturing but Kevin got Glass frames, that have two sheets of glass and no backing so it is kind of transparent. We did the hand prints on paper and the glass and decided to use the glass one. I taped a piece of white paper to the back to add more dimension because it didn't stand out as much with the wall showing behind it. I am really happy with them. I'll have to pick up another frame for the next child just in case they discontinue them (He just got them at Target)
Reminds me of something else I saw on another blog. http://littlenannygoat.blogspot.com/2008/11/baby-legs-or-arm-warmers.html
Cool!
Miss Evie looked so cute in hers today! Good job crafty lady. I wish I was like you!
way to go anna! don't you just love those leg warmers...to bad they wouldn't look so cute on us. Anyway, it seems like i've been doing a bunch of stuff lately so I'll try and send you some links or on by blog there is a section with links to peoples crafty blogs where I steal all their ideas...the best way to do it.
Hey I'm glad you like it. It is made for wordpress and not blogger so there are features at the top I disabled (home, archives and search) and you can't put anything on the bottom. I found this here...

Make sure you save all your links (like in Microsoft Word) before you change them because all the stuff you add on the side gets erased. I just haven't added mine back in yet.
I love babylegs! I have some for my baby and Vie wears them all the time, everywhere! I bet your making them for a lot less than I'm buying them for! and they are so cute!! I wish I were crafty. Maybe you can give me some of your mad crafty skills! We still need to do lunch. We would have a blast!
