This sweet little girl has her first dress-up outfit. A soft pink, fluffy tutu.
For a while now, she has been wearing her brothers’ cowboy hats, capes and slashing around with their swords.
Now, she can T-W-I-R-L and leave those guns and swords behind. Just maybe!
When I was at the cutting table buying the tulle, the kind lady gave me advice on the yardage I needed and described how to make the tutu. Then, I googled “how to make a tutu with strips” for the directions. I found this one and this one helpful.
Overall, it was simple and little sewing needed, just for the elastic. I ended up using 5 yards of tulle on her skirt and it’s quite fluffy. I think that it would work with 4 yards as well.
Oh, making things for a girl is such fun. I also have plans for some type of dress or princess cape out of pink satin!
looks like she is having a blast! “Everything nice like sugar and spice”
I like the tutu on the babe better than the tutu hat with the scary face! I agree, Making girl stuff is so much fun
Hope all is well

Too Sweet. Love it. I agree making girl stuff is so much fun. She looks like she’s having fun with her very own girl dress-up tutu.
