I was really bummed that I couldn't find the pictures that I saw showing how to put the cuff on homemade baby legs so I thought I would show you my process.
These socks are longer than the socks I used to make the baby legs for the kids, the socks for the kids were knee socks and these were labeled over the knee sock, because these socks were for arm warmers for Haley and Yuri. Cut the socks at the ankle, make sure you cut the two socks at the same length, leaving the foot part left over.
Take the foot part and cut of the ends. You should be able to cut a four inch long section, this will make your cuff two inches. Just through away the little odd pieces.
Fold the four inch section in half, this makes the cuff.
Slip the cuff over the cut off end of the sock and pin the heck out of it.
I didn't get a picture of the sewing process. I used a zig zag stitch, the one meant for knit or stretchy material, and yeah arm warmers. I unfortunately didn't get a picture of the finished project or Haler or Yuri wearing them, cause we totally celebrated Christmas a month early at Brandon's parents house, but I did try one on and so did Brandon and the over the knee socks from Target went all the way up to my shoulder. They were really cute as leggings too but once again no pictures. Enjoy.
