I had been eyeing BabyLegs for a while, but I really hesitated to buy any. At $12 (or more) plus shipping, per pair, I was afraid I wouldn't like them, they wouldn't fit etc. Plus, I was having a hard time finding a pair that would match a lot of our diapers.
Several WAHMs make their own version of babylegs out of knee socks. When I saw the pair of "leggies" that Five in a Row had, I jumped on them. $5 including shipping? Yes please!!
If you know me by now, you know I love a personal note!
One end has the original, um, cuff I guess? Hem? I don't know, what do you call that, LOL. The thing that would be at the top of your sock!! The other end has the hand sewn part where the foot used to begin.
The socks are stretchy. That combined with the change in width led to a little bit of a ruffly seam inside, but you don't notice it at all when they're on.
We usually use around 7-10 diapers in a day, so after his first change of the day (I usually don't get him dressed first thing) I gathered up all the diapers I thought might match.
Hmm, the brown & blue might not match that well. Oh well!
At first I tried the wider, hand-sewn end at the top, and the original, tighter end at the bottom.
Yes, baby holding remote=quiet baby=Mommy can take a picture, LOL!
Are these not adorable?
They eventually slid down.
And when it got over his foot, he yanked that puppy off!
Once I turned them around (tighter end at top), they were just fine!
I think they pink pair she has are adorable. I was tempted to buy them for my 5-year old to wear with skirts, but I don't know if she would wear them!














I love babylegs but agree about the cost. I will be checking out 5 in a row for sure!

I love babylegs, but yeah, waaaay too expensive for what they are. I bought "leg warmers" from target, which look a lot like babylegs, but 2 pairs unravled in the washer after a few times. I was considering making my own, but I can never find the right socks (or the time for that matter) I think those to patterns are adorable!

ReplyDeleteI've seen the How-To on making your own BabyLegs, and was a little skeptical... it looks like they've got the formula down though. Those are cute and wayyy cheaper! :)

ReplyDeleteI love babylegs but can't justify spending that amount on them. So, I buy knee high socks and we make our own. Much cheaper and oh so cute!

$5 total for a pair? That wouldn't be so bad to check out! Love babylegs but $12 + is a little much and then the shipping is killer! I have 3 pairs, all of them were freebies and I love them!

$5 a pair is an awesome price! I got so excited when I saw that. :) I have a couple pairs of baby legs that I got on sale and I love them, especially since my little man will be crawling soon- I think it will really save his little knees.
