Tights refashioned

Do I ever get original ideas anymore? I guess not. Another amazingly genius idea from Pinterest: cut off the legs of old holey tights, and sew some women’s knee-high socks in their place. New tights without having to spend $4-6 for them.

I think I’ve mentioned that my girls practically live in skirts, and I’ve had to throw out countless pairs of tights that were unsalvageable. I found a pair when doing the laundry that had one giant hole up on the thigh, and figured I’d test this idea out.

The older sis donated a pair of knee-high socks that she doesn’t really wear anymore, and the girls are pretty thrilled with the results.

The feet that I cut off the tights were still usable, so I just cuffed them and turned them into sort-of boot socks. I kind of can’t wait until they get more holes in their tights.
