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!



Tutu Frosting

After a week of company & installing a new deck, I finally pulled out my sewing machine to make some upgrades to Baby Girl's birthday tutu. Actually I'm making her a whole new one with upgrades: ribbon encased elastic, making it so that it can be slipped on without tying & untying the ribbon, and.... a white glittered tulle. My table looks like fairies flew over with heavy bags of fairy dust. It reminds me of the line from "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days": "Women of New York! Frost yourselves!" Ah yes. Glittering, sparkling diamonds. My kids love bling.

Depending on how you fluff it, you can make the different colors more dominant.

Also getting started on new baby leg warmers; here come ruffles!

Tutu Tulling

Tonight I made a tutu for Baby Girl's 1 year photoshoot - scheduled for next week. There are a few modifications I'd like to make for the next tutu, but this turned out just darling. I can't wait to try it on her tomorrow! She was sleeping soundly when I got done, so I took pictures of without a model and then humiliated one of our Boston Terriers for a few snaps.

I'm thinking the next tutu will be entirely pink or maybe a lemon-lime combo. What color will your tutu be?
