Yep... you read it right
BABY LEG WARMERS
Cause even a baby needs some workout gear!
HA!
I had seen these on a couple of Blogs that I follow, and thought that they were too cute, so of course I had to make a pair. Baby Addison can NOT be without this stylish accessory.
And for what better reason that the 3rd Iron Craft Challenge - Hearts and Flowers!
So off to Goodwill I went in search of a Valentiney, Hearts or Flowery, Girlie Sweater.
Here's what I found:
My first thought was that I loved the stripes, and I could use the Heart Buttons on the leg warmers... however, Buttons on an Infants clothing item is probably not smart. Don't want anyone getting choked.
So I had to think of something else for the Hearts or Flowers.
Lightbulb... FELT!
It's light and soft and not a choking hazard. ; )
Next, I cut off the sleeves:
Leaving a cute, short sleeve sweater... Hmmm... possibilities!
So here's where my tutorial goes foggy.
I didn't take any photos during the sewing of Baby Addison's leg warmers.
(I was talking on the phone, sorry)
However, all I did was hem the cut end and make the sleeve thinner by sewing another seam lengthwise about 1 1/2 inches in.
And, here is the reveal:
Baby Addison's new Valentine Heart Leg Warmers!

She was NOT happy that I woke her from her nap to model.
But she got paid well.... with a bottle shortly after!
Do you see Addison's little hand... this is her showcasing the Felt Hearts!
Oh... she's got a future on the runway for sure!
Love those little toes!
Thanks for checking out my Baby Leg Warmer tutorial!
Talk to y'all soon!
