They say that “necessity is the mother of all invention” and I must say that I firmly agree! Â Last weekend in a mad rush to get out the door, Little Miss S announced that she would not be wearing her stockings. Â She declared that she was growing and they were too small.
With no time to spare (I think like 10 mins to get my family 4 pack out the door) I went into “Make it work” mode. Â No sooner did she have them off and I was cutting the feet.
