I’ve been eyeing some awesome boot socks on Pinterest.
As you can see, mine aren’t as fancy as some.
Mine don’t have cute buttons or gathered lace, but after making my sweater pillow (see below)…
I had these two sweater sleeves left, and couldn’t resist.
This project was SUPER easy and only took about 20 minutes (if even).
First, try them on before you sew to see how much you need to take up on the sides. Next, take the arm and sew (on the seam side of the arm) so that you have an even width for the sleeve (or sock, or whatever we are calling it at this point). After you sew, cut off the extra material.
*HINT– Use a triple stitch if your sweater is stretchy.
Then I sewed around the bottom of the sleeve, so that the edges wouldn’t fray.
(Really this is a boot leg-warmer, but it sounds a lot cuter if we call it a sock.)
…and that’s it. Pretty easy!
Told you it would only take 20 minutes max!

Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
I love these! Such a great look, I am definitely doing this.
I like your version! Fast, easy, and super cute!

I just ended with a pair of sweater sleeves after covering two Christmas cone trees, my son put them on as leg-warmers, it was funny b/c they went all the length of his legs!
Well, now they’re going to be mine, Thank for the how to Katie!
