my new Ottoman

Ok so a few weeks ago I knelt on my coffee table and my knee went right thru it. it scared me more than it hurt and there was no blood just a nice scrap down my shin. so for a few weeks we had a table with a hole in it. So I set out to find an ottoman I've been wanting one but they are expensive. I found one that I would love from Target so of course it's on the cheaper side only $279.00 (cough cough)But of course I don't have $300.00 laying around. If you go anywhere else they are double that, so what is a girl to do? Craigslist of course! So I went hunting and this is what I found for $75.00. And they just painted and recovered it so no work for me!

Leg or Arm Warmers

OK so we are starting to get some chilly weather. Emma lives in skirts and dresses, and some have sewn in shorts, when you put leggings underneath they get pretty bulky, so here you go leg warmers.
First you take a ladies knee sock.

Then you cut it.

After that take it and fold it. then pin to the bottom of the sock.



next sew together, I stretched my over my machine and used a zigzag stitch to make sure it would stretch over her leg.

and then you're done well OK repeat on second sock!
