Easy American Girl Tights

You need a basic sewing machine, thread, and a pair (or one!) of knee high adult socks. I like socks with a bit of lycra in the fabric content. You will need about 4-5 minutes to sew the tights. Turn the sock inside out; measure down from the top to accomodate the doll's torso. It'll be roughly 4 inches.
Fold the sock flat, cut off the foot, and stitch down the center, twice, leaving a small space, about 1/8 inch, to cut open.

After stitching twice, cut the two legs apart.
Fold the foot as pictured and stitch across, twice.

Here's another view of the stitched foot.
Voila!! They're a good fit so some little hands might need help from larger hands to get these on the doll. They will NOT fall down!!
Here's another view of the foot when the tights are on the doll.
