18 Month To-Be Jean Skirt Tutus

Lots to choose from for 18 month, including several overalls!

"XXS", these 12-18 month RED overalls are a lightweight couderoy. They have straps that button in the back as well as snaps up the back to make them easier to put on a squirming (or running) toddler. On the front pocket there are yellow and orange flower in an embroidered stitch. These would be fun with a sunshine yellow or orange tutu.

Lucky you, my little girl already has an overalls tutu (and has outgrown 18 month clothes)... because otherwise I would totally keep these for her! They are a medium blue, 12-18 month with a heart and flowers (pink, yellow, red, lavender) embroidered on the front pocket. The straps loop through and snap - easy for potty training - and there are snaps on the sides. There are matching flowers that I can transfer up to the back pockets. They would be great with baby or bubblegum pink, lavender, red, or a yellow tutu.

18 months, these overalls are a true plum color (a little darker than shown in the picture). They are made with an almost velvety cotton fabric, kind of a cross between a lightweight courderoy and crushed velvet / suede. They have button straps and buttons on the sides. The pocket has pretty lavender and white embroidered flowers. One of the back pocket has matching embroidery and the front pocket has a little bit of plum lace up the middle. These would be adorable with a lavender tutu.

These lightweight, medium blue 18 month overalls seem to be a little roomier. They have button straps and buttons on the sides. On the front is a cross-stitched embroidered rose and butterfly, which I would probably cover up with a large flower - since it's not very visible. Also on the front is a light blue heart applique / patch with a matching one down on the pant that I could transfer up. This would be cute with a baby blue or mint green tutu.

Pretty medium blue with baby pink stitching, these 18 months have little pink hearts on the ribbets and button. These would look great with a baby or bubblegum pink, turquoise, or purple tutu.

Girly dark blue (slightly darker than picture), 18 month with a cute pink flower button and some matching pink stitching. These have some gathering on the pockets. These would be great with a bubblegum or fuscia pink... or any cool color.

18 month, dark medium blue, these have are a little roomier and have an adjustable waistband. On the brass ribbets, they have a tree design. Back pockets are kind of cargo style and have stitching straight across them. These would go great with any color you can think of.

Medium blue & white striped, these are what's referred to at my house as "train pants" because the a pattern is typical to a train conductor's hat. 18 months with a stretchy waistband in the back. Would be very cute with a red tutu and a train button embellishment.

12 Month To-Be Denim Tutus

I have lots in inventory for 12 months!

These medium blue overalls are darling with an embroidered pocket on the front and a patch that I plan on transferring up. They are a 12 month with traditional overall hook straps and snaps on the sides. These would look great with fuscia, lavender, or apple green to match the stitching.

These 12 month are a medium blue with a fuscia pink button hole (think Barbie pink), just a touch of girl. Pockets and the rest of them are plain, but I can add flowers to any of my designs. A fuscia pink and / or purple tutu would work well, but you could really go with any cool color.

These plum purple 12 months aren't actually denim, but a sturdy cotton with a stretchy waistband in the back. Gathering on the pockets adds just enough pretty detail. The purple in the picture is a little bit off. In actuality, it has a little bit of a pink tone to it. Don't know quite how to describe it but "a very grapey plum" color. The purple and lavender tulle that I have would look a little bit off, so I suggest going with a contrasting color: baby or bubblegum pink, possibly turquoise, white, or black...even a chocolate brown.

This dark medium blue 12 month has a little bit of bright pink stitching on the pockets and the button hole, matching a cute pink flower button. Stretchy waistband in the back, the pockets have gathering and the rest of it is plain. Would be cute with any of the cool colors: any of the pinks, purples, blues..... with matching flowers.

12 months, medium blue, with a stretchy waistband in the back, these have heart ribbets on the corners of all the pockets that match the heart on the center button. The stitching on these is white and they would match absolutely any color your heart desires!

12 months, with a stretchy waistband, these are a light stonewashed denim with lavender stitching. The button has some worn pink and the back pockets have the basic Levi stitching in lavender. These would be precious with a baby pink or lavender tutu.

These medium blue 12 months have an adjustable waistband and white stitching. The finished product will not include the side cargo pockets (seen at the bottoms), though I could make them smaller and transfer them to the back to make back pockets. These would look great with any color.

Medium blue, these 6-12 months have a stretchy waistband in the back and baby blue buttons on the sides (buttons do not come undone very easily). Cute baby pink bow in the front could be left on or replaced with a satin bow or flower. This would be adorable with a baby pink and blue tutu.

These are really stinking cute, 12 months with a baby pink sequins belt sewn on with a heart faux rhinestone buckle. They have a stretchy waistband in the back and baby pink stitching all over. On the cuffs are embroidered pink hearts and flowers, which I will transfer up. Would be very pretty with a baby pink, bubblegum pink, and fuscia pink tutu.

9 Month To-Be Jean Skirt Tutu

Twoo pairs of 9 month in stock....

This pair is a darker medium blue (a little bit darker than the picture shows) with bright pink embroidered snowflakes and a skating penguin. When finished the penguin will be skating just above the tutu. There's also couple more skating penguins on the cuff that I plan to transfer up. It is a 6-9m with a mostly stretchy waistband. This would look great with a bubblegum pink tutu...maybe a little white thrown into the mix.

Dark medium blue and a stretchy waistband in the back, these 6-9 month are adorable with baby pink stitching. There are embroidered pink flowers on the cuff, which I will transfer up. These would look fabulous with a bubblegum pink / turquoise tutu.

Jean Skirt Tutus!

It's June and we're celebrating Baby Girl's 2nd birthday! So be sure to use the coupon code "BIRTHDAY20" for 20% off your order. Here's the birthday girl herself, sporting my newest creation.

And, since Woody is in this picture too.... I should mention that Doggie Tutus and Bow Ties have been added to my crafts as well. Woody prefers the bow ties. These cute models are from a gal on Fiverr.com - since I have boy Bostons.

I've had the "denim tutus" on the back burner for awhile now and have finally gotten to making them.... Jean Skirt Tutus. Made with upcycled jeans cut into skirts and trimmed with a handtied tulle tutu. I've been playing with ways to do this and have decided that I like this method best.

Bright Pink Skirt with Purple Tutu & Flower (this one is a 3T skirt) and Matching Purple Flower Headband / Hair Clip

Baby Pink Trimmed Overalls Tutu (this one is a 0-3 month size). Don't have the matching headband / hair clip listed yet, but this Peonie would look great with it.

Bring On the Baby Legs

Wearing a sweatshirt today, considering closing a window (or two) in the house, and preparing the kitchen to bake cookies (which always starts with dishes) - hoping to get to the cookie part before the kids finish napping.  Daddy-O dressed Baby Girl this morning in a long-sleeved onesie and sweat pants.  I had intentions to change her outfit after he left for work, but she's definitely needed the warm clothes today.  It's a great day for leg warmers!

I've been eyeing up knee highs in all the stores and keep reminding myself to place an order to make lots of leg warmers for the upcoming craft fair (Nov. 5th @ the MAC, free admission).  Today I was looking at material and ribbons and just about bought some, but stopped myself.  Need to match the ribbons to the socks, not the socks to the ribbon.  Still looking for some holiday socks at a reasonable price - need to keep costs low so my prices can stay low.   :D

Tutus, Tutus....



Purple, Lavender & White tutu with Purple Poppy headband

In preparation for my upcoming craft fair - maybe fairS, I've made tutus all last week.  I'm having so much fun putting the colors together and seeing how they blend once finished! This one reminds me of lilacs and pansies.



Hot Pink & Purple tutu with Hot Pink Gerber Daisy hair clip

This one reminds me of Bubbliscious Bubblegum, remember the squares that you could barely fit into your mouth once you started chewing them. Great for big bubbles! 


Hot Pink, Baby Pink & White with Yellow Peonie hair clip

Ice cold pink lemonade on a hot summer day? Perfectly pink for newborn pictures or for the girliest of girls to twirl around and around.

Am considering a couple other craft fairs this winter. We'll see. I'm nervous about this first one. The biggest questions I'm trying to answer right now are "How much inventory should I bring?" and "How am I going to display it?" My friend, Robin came over the other day to craft. She is making princess and dinosaur fleece hats. Oh so cute!

Quick & Courageous Dragonflies

I've been making so many flower hair clips (just did a pastel yellow peonie, sunflower & yellow/orange mum today) that I've been missing the dragonflies. I took a few out last week, took some new pictures, and made them into hair clips.

Decided to look up some information about dragonflies. Did you know that they can't walk well, but are one of the fastest insects in the world (with average max speeds of 22-34mph)? In Native American tribes they represent swiftness and pure water. Probably because of their speed and because they're usually found around water - where they lay their eggs. In Japan they're associated with late summer and early fall. They symbolize strength, courage and happiness.

Baby Girl's 1 Year Pics!

We got our pictures from Greg McBoat Photography and they turned out pretty darn cute! Here are a couple of my favorites - though it's hard to choose.

Busy Tutus

Baby Girl's been busy walking - ran for the first time today - and I've been busy making tutus (and a sundress, no pics yet though). Check out Ellie Grace Etsy for custom tutu listings. Currently I have 2 premade and available:  Rainbow extra-fluffy 18m ($19.99) and red / hot pink extra-fluffy 3T ($24.99).

Both have ribbon-encased waist bands, bows and are extra fluffy.

The flower hair clips make great accessories on these!



Peonie Sun Hat

Picked up a sun hat to embellish, since we're spending lots of time outside this summer and getting plenty of sun. We're all sporting a good tan already. Baby Girl reminds me of the girl figures on an embroidered quilt that my mom is currently working on.

It's working wonders for keeping the sun out of her eyes - the scrunched face is because she knows I'm keeping her away from the pool by giving her veggie fries. (Big Brother was doing swim lessons....and she's such a fish.)

A Day At Home....

Baby Girl loves to "shop" anywhere she can get into: nightstands, headboard shelf, under the sink, pantry....wherever there's something she shouldn't be into. Here she is shopping for breakfast in the pantry while I try to get her to hold still long enough to snap some decent pictures of my newest headbands.

 



















After naps I pulled out an art project for Big Brother. I'm adding ribbon to the Baby Girl's to clip on all her headbands.

Pink Peonies

Pretty pink peonies, my favorite - so why is it that I haven't planted any in my yard / garden yet? Probably get to enjoy them more on Baby Girl anyways.

These are full, frilly and fluffy with variations of pink and splashes of lavender & sage, giving a vintage look to it.

When she was an itty bitty we called her "Baby Doll" ...until Big Brother started thinking she was a baby doll.
