Printed Silk Fabrics Sewing Tips: How to make toddler leggings?

Toddler leggings provide warmth and comfort without restricting movement as your toddler explores her world. Leggings are an inexpensive project for anyone with a sewing machine and can be made using your old knee socks or long sleeved sweaters. Choose your little girl's favorite patterns and colors for leggings she'll find irresistible.

1. Cut the feet off socks just above the heel using fabric scissors, to create two long tubes.

2. Cut the heels and toes off the feet to create two shorter tubes.

3. Fold the shorter tubes into themselves. Bring the rough edges together by pushing one end of the tube through the middle to meet the other end. This creates two tubes half the size of the originals with the right sides facing out on all sides.

4. Insert the cut-off ends of the long tubes into the shorter tubes so the rough edges line up. This will give you the original leg of the sock with a short cuff around the ankle and all the unfinished edges lined up in a ring around the bottom.

5. Sew a ¼-inch seam around the rough edges using a zigzag stitch or close running stitch.

6. Fold the short tubes down to hide the seams inside the leggings and create a small cuff.

Embroidery on silk from 1913?

Would anyone know how much an embroidery on silk from 1913 would be worth - have searched everywhere to no avail. It is in fairly good condition for age? Thanks

Something like that depends on how much someone else wants it. I would check for similar antique tapestries on eBay, to get an idea of what they're going for. Otherwise, you'd need to show it to a certified textile appraiser for an appraisal of its value. If there's a quilt shop or museum in your area, they may be able to put you in touch with an appraiser, or you can sometimes find them at quilt shows. Be sure to check on how much an appraisal costs. Some will give you a verbal appraisal for free or cheap, but charge for a written one. Good luck!
