I have a really nice collection of Acorn Unisex Versafit (fleece) socks. These are my absolute favorite socks in the world. I live in them from mid-September to mid-May. I wear them around the house, in my shoes, to bed... you get the picture. The only problem is that I don't wear slippers and eventually the bottoms wear out. I wear them until the holes on the heel and foot pad are over an inch wide. The socks are otherwise in great condition. I've been wondering if I could sew a new bottom on and make a slipper sock -which I still might do, or other fun things to get more use out of them -rather than just throwing them away.
So I was looking through Pinterest for ways to up cycle old socks and I found a post about making finger-less gloves from socks. SO voila! Out came the sewing machine for 5 minutes of straight seams and I made a pair from my very worn-down-on-the-bottom socks for when I'm out running in the Spring/Fall. I think they're pretty cute and they are definitely warm! Thought I would share.
(Leonardo the ninja turtle helped along with my boys by touching absolutely everything in my sewing kit...)
Hopefully we'll be running in warmer weather soon and I won't need these babies until the fall!
