TuTu Cute

I have been making tutu's like crazy lately. Everyone has seen the tutu I made at Christmas time but I have yet to post the two most recent ones. 

My best friend here (Louisiana) LOVES LOVES LOVES Wonder Woman. So as a way to celebrate we threw her a surprise birthday party! The theme you ask? WONDER WOMAN of course. Well I had this brilliant idea to make a little Wonder Woman costume for her 7 month old Anna Claire! She already had a Wonder Woman onsie so why not make the outfit complete with a blue tutu with silver stars on it?  That is exactly what I did!! It's hard to see in this picture but the tutu also has a yellow ribbon around it to complete the ensemble. However as a warning to anyone who might want to sew a ribbon at the top of the elastic tutu DON'T!! If you want to sew one make sure you sew it underneath the bottom part of the elastic and NOT into the elastic because it causes the elasticity to leave the elastic making the tutu not stay in the proper place. I unfortunately learned this the hard way but the outfit was still a success and my BFF still LOVED it!

Ok so two days after this party tutu I had another party tutu to make by the following weekend. My best friend in Texas youngest daughter Delaney would be celebrating her 1st birthday. Emma saw how adorable the other tutu's were and requested I make one for her little girl as well. So of course being the AMAZING Auntie that I am I said HECK YEAH!!! 

We had a tough time deciding what color/s to make the tutu. Emma was throwing her an all pink party and had made her an adorable embroidered onsie that had the #1 and her name on it. So I suggested making a hot pink and black tutu which at first she was all down for. Then she got to thinking that maybe that was too bold her baby for now. So we (my little sister Melissah really) decided that a dark pink and light pink would work and great and she was correct. I managed to finish the tutu on the way to the airport to fly to Texas for the party. I arrived at Emma's early Friday morning after spending a great night at my little brother's house. I tried the tutu on Delaney only to find it IT WAS TOO BIG!! However, I had planned for this and was able to cut it and sew back to the proper side and she of course looked adorable! I really am so lucky to have the cutest little nieces!!!

 Of course the proud momma with the birthday girl!

Man this is a long post but I just have two more pictures to share and then you are finally done... I also made my little niece Kaylor a Wonder Woman onsie to wear and an additional one for Anna Claire that says Wonder Woman in Training. It's in Portuguese because Wendy speaks Portuguese.

WHEW!! Now off to school I go! ADIOS AMIGOS!!
