I have been trying to squeeze in some sewing projects and crafts a midst our crazy busy schedule lately.
Last week, I refashioned a sweater of mine into a cardigan for my little man. I had a few good sized pieces of the sweater left over that were just perfect to make a pair of boot socks for my two year old.
They're such a cute little "accessory" to add to her boots.

These pieces were left over from the sleeves of my sweater. They were just the perfect size for her little legs.
I cut two "tubes from the sleeves.
Zig Zag stitched around each end so they wouldn't unravel.
I then folded the top over and zig zag stitched around creating a finished "hem".
I sewed on a few buttons for "embellishment"...and done!

I love it, I want to do a pair for myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I made a pair for myself last year out of a chunky sweater and got so many compliments.
DeleteAdorable!! I just bought some cute buckled boots for my daughter too. She's been wearing them with knee socks, but I really how the buttons peek out on your home made ones!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute idea!! I found you through TT&J linky party.
ReplyDeleteI might even have to do some of these for me!
Thank you for stopping by!

These are super cute! I don't think my little one is quite ready for boots yet (boo) but I will have to remember this trick!
ReplyDeleteHaving used the body pieces from my felted sweater stash, this seems like a great use for the sleeves. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very innovative idea to recycle your sweater to make the boot socks! Besides being extremely fashionable, she looks like she will be quite warm this winter! =)
ReplyDeleteGirls fashion has really seemed to take a turn from babyish looking items to more sensible grown up fashions that will make little girls feel like big girls. If you're open to it, I have a few pieces that are in this fall that I'd like to share with you!
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to visit!
DeleteSo super cute! It feels good to use up every little piece of a refashion doesn't it? Thanks for sharing at Etcetorize this week~
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Do you have a tutorial for the ones you made for yourself? I would love to see it.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance I would love for you to come link up your tutorials at my Fall Edition Pin Party.

Thank you so much! I have been working on a tutorial, but have had computer problems (limited to iPhone) so my work is delayed.
DeleteThank you for stopping by!
Those socks are adorable! I love the little buttons. I'd love for you to share this at my link party. http://adventuresofadiymom.blogspot.com/2012/09/terrific-tuesdays-32.html

Boot socks mini-size!?! I don't think there is a cuter fall accessory. These turned out so, so cute.

Hi, Rhiannon. I must say that you are lovely mom. Thanks for sharing incredible idea. I also love to be creative whenever I get time and I have huge stashed stuff that I want to use for creativity. I already made woolen booties from my sweater that was inspired by kate spade booties I am surely going to follow your idea next winter.
