Right? I hope so!Back in December, Disney from Ruffles and Stuff posted a tutorial on repurposing old baby/toddler tights into super cute knee highs! Of course, I had to try it.
I could only find one pair of old tights. The rest must have been given away. Boo.
First, I cut the legs off of the tights. I have another use from Ruffles and Stuff for the top of these tights.
Then, I rolled the top of the tights to the inside and pinned the elastic slightly below the top. It was easy with this pair because of the horizontal lines . Yay for easy!
When I had the elastic in the right spot, I used a zigzag stitch to sew the elastic to the tights.
Hmm...if only I had a super cute model to show you the finished product...
These knee highs are the cutest thing and one of the best ideas I have seen! Bug l-o-v-e-s her new "socks". I beg you to please go here to see the Ruffles and Stuff tutorial!! She has more details in the steps and he daughter is adorable in the different knee highs.
