Tutu Two

Jessica decided that Isabella will need a brown tutu. I tried scaling this one down while also adding more layers. 

I'm not sure it worked the way I wanted it to. I don't have a baby this size to try it on! 

I'll try again......

Micah love to sit in his grampa's chair and watch cartoons. 

He loves to fast forward to his favourite scenes.

Tutu Update

This is my first cousin once removed. I love family relationships don't you? Her Grandmother is my aunt who feels more like a sister. Anyway..... I sent her the first tutu I made and according to her Grandmother it makes her feel like a princess. 

I made a sweet girl feel like a princess, how fun is that?

Tutu

I feel that an essential part of my preparation in having a grand-daughter is making her some tutus. I may be over doing things here but I really don't think this one is quite full enough.... It definitely won't fit her as a new born, so back to the drawing board there.....

(Thank you Micah and Gramps for telling me the skirt was glowing)

I'll be making another soon but wanted your feed back on this one.

I chose three colors. Two shades of green and one blue. I cut them in strips, layered the strips, sewed and gathered, then sandwiched it between the satin ribbon. I threaded the elastic through and finished sewing it up. 

I've seen that most people choose to tie the netting on an elastic waist band. I liked the idea of a ribbon adding more texture. I wasn't careful enough with the ribbon on this one so the seam in back is a bit rough. It'll still make a fun dress up skirt for a 2-3 year old.

What do you think?

Interestingly enough I made Jess plenty of princess outfits when she was a little girl but never a tutu. 

Which do you prefer for your girly-girls?
