This year for Christmas I made very few gifts. Unless you count the jam and soap I made months ago. I mean the truly last minute started in December after the semester ended kind of gifts. True to my form, my niece was one of the few. This year I was focusing on cleaning out the stash even more than normal. A few months ago KAES sent me some supplies she wasn't that into after she got it home and the fabric I used as the basis for the tutu. My niece takes ballet lessons.
The fabric is shear with white hearts all over and elastisized along one edge. I first cut the fabric in half, both directions to give myself a total of four layers and an appropriate length for a 6 year old. Then each layer got a different color of shear ribbon to finish the raw edge. I topped it off with three rounds of super cute trim, from Jo Ann's, around the top. Sometimes I truly love make it up as I go, other times I really need a pattern.

Love the tutu and I know Meshayla will love it too!
