I want..........

[purpledahlia]

some babylegs! where do you get them!? can you make them?

 

[kirsten1985]

You can get BumGenius ones and BabyLegs here https://www.fill-your-pants.com/section/51/1/babylegs you can also get hugglalugs https://www.huggalugs.com.au/ .

You can get them on eBay too.

You can make your own either by knitting them, or (I think TigerLady did this) by converting some cool knee socks.

I have two pairs of the bumgenius ones to match Freya's nappies!

 

[Twiglet]

I got some from that site yesterday as they were only £4 rather than £8 and yep TL converted knee socks to baby legs which is apparently easy to do

 

[kirsten1985]

I am totally going to do the knee socks things, I have looooads of bright stripy pairs which I never wear anymore, watch out socks, here I come!

 

[Twiglet]

If I was in any way creative I would....but I'm not so for now I'll buy them

 

[kirsten1985]

I'm guessing you just chop the foot off and hem them? I don't know...not sure if they would be too baggy for Freya, might just drop off her, lol.

 

[purpledahlia]

ooh i wanna attempt making some, would it be cheaper to buy socks?? haha!

 

[Twiglet]

It is cheaper to buy the socks...I might ask TL what age socks she bought.

Kirsten sounds like what I would do so who knows tehe

 

[kirsten1985]

Right, I'm going to make some now! I will take some pics of Freya in them tomorrow

 

[NattieLou]

Yay - look forward to seeing how they turn out. You've inspired me - I think I might try knitting some this evening. How long should I make them? I don't have any little legs here to measure.

 

[kirsten1985]

I made them! That was really fast! I will just measure them for you - I think mine are slightly long, but they will last longer that way. You can always bunch them up a bit, they look better that way anyway.

 

[kirsten1985]

Mine are 32 cms long, and 8cm across the top.

 

[Twiglet]

Well done Kirsten! That was supersuper fast! cant wait to see piccy's!

 

[kirsten1985]

they are black and white stripy!

 

[NattieLou]

Wow, that was fast! They sound like humbugs - cute. Thanks for the measurements, Kirsten. I'm going to have a play now and see what I can come up with. I'm very much a beginner at loom knitting, but I think I can hopefully work out a pair of leg warmers. We'll see.

 

[purpledahlia]

ok ava's legs are TINY... i could use some of my normal socks .. they'd prob be too big still! lol

 

[thelilbump]

i sell some babylegs on my site, only got a couple of pairs in at the mo tho.


ooo i never thought of making some, you did that really quick!

 

[sun]

I bought a pair from a baby store cuz I thought they were so cute, but omg they are large! Bun won't be able to wear them for a while LOL
xx

 

[kirsten1985]

Lol, I only chopped the feet off some socks, then hemmed the edge. Not overly impressive!

I did that a while ago with some neon stripy socks, poor child looks like she's about to go to a rave

It was mega easy though, I just hemmed the cut bit with some elastic instead of thread so they stretch over her giant feet!
