Sewing Lessons: Arm & Leg Warmer for Baby/Toddler
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this sewing tutorial I show you how to save yourself some money and make your own arm & leg warmers for a baby or toddler! These warmers can cost upwards of $12 in the store or from an online retailer. Using a pair of crew socks I bought at the dollar store I show you how to make your own! This is a great beginner project and requires only a few materials: a pair of socks, scissors, a sewing machine/thread.
When used as leg warmers they make for very easy diaper changes. Once you make a pair you will want to sew more of these for friends! They make for cute baby shower gifts too. Go find a cute or funky pair of socks and make one yourself!
Thank you so much! You explained it so well! It's hard to find tutorials for beginners that actually explain EVERY detail! Thank you sooo much!
Thank you so much. You make everything look so easy. I almost spent 15$ on a pair of these then I found this video and made 15 for 15$. I was so please and so was my husband the accountant!!
OMG I LOVE YOU! LOL I have a sewing machine, and I have NEVER used it, it was my grandmothers, but I wanted to learn to sew...I have been trying to find classes near me for cheap or free, and I must say, because of you I think I am going to be able to do this! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
Your videos are my new addiction, thank you for your clear, easy to follow directions! Definitely gonna make these!
I loved the way it was explained. Thank you. You have a great voice for teaching.
You are so very talented . Thanks for sharing your ability with us. I look forward to using them for my grandchildren. God bless you.
THANKS!! I have been trying to find a video tut. for baby legs. Yours is the best I could ever imagine finding. It was amazing. I can't wait to get sewing.
@jackieb0626 I'm glad you enjoyed my tutorial and found it easy to make. I am currently working on a cloth diaper one... so stay tuned!
You are awesome!!! I am a rookie to the sewing world and your video was super easy to follow. I just have to get the sewing down pack! Thanks for this video!
Oh this video is old. He is all grown up. My first sons name is Jonathan. Chica you have come a long ways. I watched the juki sewing machine tutorial last night.
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
Great for my toddler potty training too...we have floor tile all downstairs so it gets so chilly...even in the summer...this will be great for legs so I can leave her in her birthday suit to practice :)
Easy leg warmers to make for baby. Also, learned how to sew the cuff. Thanks.
No problem! Thansks for watching & stooping by to comment. :o)
Great video! You make me actually want to sew even though I know nothing!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video you saved me a ton of money by doing so I made nine warmers using the same
Socks from the dollar store so cute and i made the so fast i had to pull my self away from the sawing machine cuz i was going to start cutting all the sicks in the house lol
genius! genius! genius! i bumped into ur videos researching how to make fleece fitteds and you have AWESOME advice! I LOVE your videos, so i made sure to subscribe! thanks for the tips!
@TheCraftyGemini I just made my first pair of leg warmers. They were so simple and look great! Now I just have to buy some more socks. Thanks again.
These look awesome and so simple to make. I can't wait to make some!
@alavamayra Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Check out my other videos. I post a new one every Monday. :o)
You're a great teacher.
@mysweetsgrandma I would recommend buying some jersey knit stretch fabric and making them from that. For the stirrups you can just attache a strip of bare elastic or put it in a fabric casing if you want.
Hi...thanks so much for the lesson.......And Jonathan is so cute....Have a good day........
You are a great! I taught crafts to students at the Helen Keller School for many years. I am impressed with your verbal and visual instructions. Great job!!
@TheCraftyGemini Thank you! Yes I used a double threaded needle. I think what I'll do is use that end on his ankle and see how it works, then the chunkier part of his leg will have the stretchier end. Thanks again for the fast reply..You rock!
I love this idea..I can't wait to learn more and finally get a machine..I would do by hand but I don't even know how to sew that nice lol..
@jdleland I just bought a pair of socks from the dollar store. They look like regular adult size crew socks. My baby was 5 months old in the video. for toddler I would use knee length socks so it covers more of their legs.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll add your suggestion to my list of videos to do. :o)
Awesome tut Thanks so much!! Can't wait to make some of these for my girls!!
Thanks. Hope you are able to get a machine sooner than later. It's a lot of fun!
@coastieswife915 No problem! Glad I could help! They are really easy to make.. you'll have a bunch made in no time. Happy sewing! :o)
great idea! I'm gonna do this and give it as a gift.
you are an awesome teacher !!!
@osbkids Yea, zigzag works well for stretchy materials. For that particular pair of socks the straight stitch worked fine and didn't pop when stretched.... :o)
You can use bigger/longer socks. Like the funky colored socks they sell for kids that are knee-high length. Hope that helps!
No problem. I'm glad you enjoy my tutes. Thanks for subbing. :o)
@flowers261 No problem! Thank you! He is a lot bigger now at 2 years old! :o)
just a plain 'ol straight stitch. Never done it by hand but it may work if the stitches are sewn to allow for some stretch without popping. Good luck!
Great Tutorial and your baby is adorable!
@ButterflyMuslimah Thanks! I'm sure they will really appreciate these as gifts!
Thankyou I love your teaching your so good . X
@MadameMarti Glad you enjoyed it! Happy sewing! :o)
@SarahMartinaParker Thanks... Just a one size fits all form the $1 store.
I can't wait to try this.
so good.. i will go cut a pair of socks right now thanks
@paprichaat5 Congrats on getting a new machine.. as to which one to get: There is no set answer because there are SO MANY choices... they all have different stitch options, bells & whistles, etc. You should do some research online to see what you need for the type of projects you will be sewing. For example, embroidery and quilting projects will require a machine that offers those functions. Hope that helps.
I hope you can share other projects for old socks...I love your videos.I made several of your beginner sewing projects..I like them so much. More power and regards to your beautiful family.Thank you...C",)
Very cool I will have to try and make some
Cool!!! and your baby is cute!!!
@glitterminx83 The socks themselves should be made from a stretchable material so your hand stitching should still allow it to do some stretching. With hand stitching I think it depends on if you used one thread or a double threaded needle to sew it, how close together were your stitches, etc. My main concern would be that the hand stitching would not hold up to the stretching around babies thighs and legs. Hope this helps. :o)
very neat, surely i will try it
Very informative!! Thanks
@coastieswife915 Yay! Congrats! :o) So happy for you!
Thanks. I think 1/8" would be too narrow. I think in this video I just used the edge of my presser foot as the guide. But 1/4" - 3/8" would work nicely. Have fun!
@glitterminx83 No problem. Hope it works for you! :o)
@florkubana10 That's what I like to hear! Yay! Glad to help! :o)
Love your ideas, and you are so clear with your instructions! Thanks (-:
awesome thanks.
You really should be named TheCraftyGenius...👍
Thanks so much! Glad to help.. keep at it. It just takes practice. :o)
Thanks! :o)
@errussll Definitely! :o)
Your tutorials are great!Thank you for your clear instructions and the way you explain everything.Very helpful for someone who doesn't quite know what she's doing.Do you have any suggestions for making stir up leg warmers?I'd like to make a pair or two for my grand daughter for ballet.Thank you.
You can also use Knee high socks and creat a longer warmer. Great for covering a baby's whole leg or leg warmers for toddlers.
@dharper18 Thank you! :o)
too cuteee!! (:
@whalea11 Sounds good! They can be for anyone! :o)
Hi, love your videos.You are a great teacher. Could you possibly do a video on how to make pattern and sew toddler one piece pjs with footies and or toddler pjs with feet? Thanks for sharing your skills. YOU HAVE SKILLS GIRL!!!!!!!
buy the larger, longer adult socks.
Super COOL tutorial...would you use like an 1/8" seam all the way around or 1/4"...maybe doesn't matter too much....just wondered. THANKS for this great idea!!!! Take care
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I was just wondering would you do a video on making House Shoes/Slippers for adults and children. I have looked on here for videos but to no luck!!! Thanks!!
cool.
Awesome... I'm a new sub;)
vanessa what sewing machine do you suggest to gte? i want to get something on black friday and have no idea which one to settle for ? what singer, janome, kenmore, brother??? i just dont know where to start
What type of stitching setting did you use on the sewing machine? Can this be hand sewn?
what size sock did you use? and how big is you little boy who is wearing it? thanks!! i love your tutorials!
What do you think about zigzag stitches instead of straight?
I have a question..I made some but had to do it by hand sewing, i'm not great at it but I thought I would try. The part I sewed doesn't stretch..is it because it was done by hand? The baby isn't here yet so I can't try them on him but I think it will work for a little while with my sewing end on his ankle. Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial! Your son is so cute..and his chunky legs, Ahhh! :)
@paprichaat5 I have 7 different machines and they are different brands and cost from $70 - $2000. Go to bestcovery(dot)com and search for best budget sewing machine so you can see the ones that rank at the top for quality but are still not super expensive. I like Janome and Brother.
what would i use for bigger kids.. to make these
Thank you for sharing. Any tutorial for little baby dress ?
vorreidelle spiega zioni in italiano
Love your tut! What size socks did you use?
I made some for my 8 month old baby today but they don't fit her around her thighs (she has massive legs!) What could I do make some that actually fit her?
@TheCraftyGemini i will probably do quilting as the most crafty thing...but its just for simple stitches like in this leg warmer tutorial and making pillow cases, womens straight leg pants, baby clothes/ burp cloths. i am a starter and i dont know where to start. please give me a suggestion of something that you use maybe. i did some research and i was even more confused b/ the prices of machines range from 99-$600. its so confusing.
very neat, surely i will try it
