It's 'Pin" Done!

Have you ever pinned a recipe or tutorial on Pinterest and wondered if it tasted as good as it looked, or if the directions were easy to follow. Ever wonder about the difficulty level of a project you pinned? I do...ALL THE TIME! So I would like to start a series called "It's 'Pin' Done" where I or a guest blogger do a review of a pin. It can be something we found on Pinterest that we have actually created, or a pin that inspired us and how we made it happen. Does that sound fun? Who has a pin they have recreated? I want to hear from you!!!! So let me get us started :)



I was inspired to make some of these or something similar for the Spring Pea since we have moved to more frigid temperatures and really...who doesn't love a pair of cute leg warmers.





The black ones were made from a $1 thrifted sweater and the pink from a $1 thrifted knit shirt. I did the black ones with the cuff following another pin where you use the waist band on the bottom of the sweater to create a cuff. There was no cuff on the knit shirt so I just threaded some ribbon through the hem in top to dress them up a bit. The ribbon also keeps them from falling down. The tutorial was easy, inexpensive to reproduce and the legwarmers were a big hit with my little girl. Give it a try!
