from tiny tights to knee high socks

By Guest Contributor on 1.9.2010

from tiny tights to knee high socks

So, I had two problems. The first, was that my daughter had outgrown some really cute tights, and they don't sell them anymore.

**The following article was written by guest contributor, Disney Powless.**

The second, was that I was having major knee-high envy toward another mom at church who’s girls always wore them! But I never see those socks in Paige’s size, and I don’t want to buy online and pay shipping!  So ta-da,  I bring you from Tiny Tights To Knee High Socks the tutorial! 


**A big thanks to my husband who encourages me to save Paige’s old clothes when I want to give them all up! I found these 5 pair of 6-12m tights in storage, and I know there is at least 1 more pair somewhere….hot dog!

This is only a three step process, so it’s fantastically easy! Yay!

Step 1: Cut the legs off of your tiny tights at the top, lower, if they’re for big girls.

Step 2: Fold the top edge of the leg over once toward the inside, and lay some elastic on top (I used 1/2” wide,) just below the very top of the fold.

Step 3: Sew the elastic on* with a zig-zag stitch, keeping the top edge of the tights folded under as you go, and being careful not to stretch the elastic or the tights.

*Optional, decorate with bows and ruffles.  Really anything you can think of.

They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for timberlands boots himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and mens timberland boots meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying womens timberland boots: “I think, therefore am. But the best definition of existence ever saw sdid another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this true, then the more relations a living thing has timberland 3 eyes boat, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get timberland classic lug to love our routine. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? If you are interest-ed only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that cheap timberland boots extent. So far as other things are concerned—poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs—you are dead.

What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. If your thoughts timberland roll top boots are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow timberland chukka boots cir-conscribed life.
