How to Make Legwarmers

The quickest way to make a pair of legwarmers is to cut the sleeves off of a sweater.  Granted, it’s not quite that simple (you’ve got to finish the ends so they don’t unravel), and you have to have a sweater that you don’t want to wear as a sweater anymore, but I think that even with no sewing experience at all, a little ingenuity can solve those problems. If you’re especially adventurous, you can add ribbons and bows and buttons also!  It seems that what I’m interested in is not crafting for crafting’s sake, but rather having the ability to get or create what I want while minimizing time and/or money spent.  Plus, a bonus sweater-vest!
