I thought that Lily, being all about ballerinas right now, deserved to have a proper tutu. She’s been happy using any old skirt in her closet, but I wanted to give her a little upgrade. I didn’t want to buy one right now so I thought I’d make her one.
I don’t keep tulle laying around the house and since I’m 45 miles from any cities where you could find tulle, I had to get resourceful. I just happened to see this ribbon in a bag the other day and got to work. I found an online tutorial for a “no sew” tutu, sat down with my scissors et voila! And though it sticks out in every direction and really looks more like she should be going to a Luau instead of stepping over to the barre, she LOVES it!
And while we’re discussing ballerinas, look at this one!
I have to say I’m pretty impressed with how Lily stayed “in the lines”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 27 month old color with such precision.
Clara’s precision on the other hand, expresses itself very differently. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 17 month old color with such…hunger.
