do it yourself > bobby-sox out of old tights

i had two pairs of old tights sitting in my closet. i just had almost not worn them at all. i decided to be creative and make something sweet for myself to wear once fall gets here.

i can pretty much name it a tutorial so here is...

WHAT YOU NEED

- tights

- ribbons, lace etc.

- elastic

- needle and thread [and sewing machine]

step 1: measure how high you want your socks and cut

step 2: sew the elastic onto the inside of the raw edge [make sure you leave the edge look neat from the outside]

step 3: take your ribbon and sew it on the outer edge. [not necessary, but >] i was kind of pulling the edge of the sock under the ribbon as i was sewing it so that the ribbon would look a bit ruffled [check on the pictures to get the idea]

step 4: create a little bow and sew on the side where the two ends of the ribbon meet so that it would cover the messy part. you can add some buttons as well.

and done! i made two pairs.
