She’s got legs…(and arms)

September 21, 2010

and they know how to use them!!  Leg and arm warmers for day 2of KCWC by Elsie Marley.  SUPER easy.  I bought these women's knee socks for $1.50 each at a creepy surplus store.  I am such a tight wad that i actually  thought that was kinda expensive BUT i knew they would make for some cuties.  There are lots of easy tutorials out there to make these leg warmers, such as this.  It took about 15 minutes.  The rest of my sewing time was spent looking and choosing fabrics for tomorrow.
