Another Pink Tutu


I've been really slow getting Christmas out the door this year.  I failed to get a picture of the other gifts I sent to my sister, but maybe she will take some and send to me......

I made this bright pink tutu for my youngest niece, who is still in pink tutu phase.  She may never actually exit that phase.  This one has two folded layers (for a total of four layers) of tulle, which created a nice pocket suitable for filling with pom poms.  There are small white ones and slightly larger metallic shiney pastel ones.  I actually went back to the store and doubled the amount once I had them in there.  I hear that she wanted more and wanted to be able to remove them to play with them.  The waist is elasticized and encased in matching satin ribbon.  A very fun piece to create.
