Leg Warmers made from an old jacket

We had a rare snowfall last week. It must have happened because of the star my son had wished upon the night before, because when he awoke to 6 inches of snow and still falling, he was the happiest boy I’d ever seen. Before I bundled him up and sent him out, a quick idea came to mind. I cut the sleeves off his old worn winter coat and sewed elastic around the top ends of the sleeves. And just like that I had leg warmers! They easily went over the pants and then I tucked them inside the boots. They kept his legs warm and dry in the snow for 3 days in a row until the sun melted it all away.
