To celebrate my aunthood, I dug out these pictures of the gift I made for my niece's 6th birthday last year. She likes to dress up, so I thought that instead of buying her just another princess outfit, I'd make her a ballerina outfit. I got the leotard on sale at Target, then bought about a million yards of pink tull and some satin ribbon and made this tutu.
And since my niece wasn't available to model, I took care of that. The tutu is made like a wrap skirt and rather big so it can be enjoyed for years to come, which is why it fit me when I REALLYREALLY sucked in my gut.

Love the tutu. I am sure your niece loved it too. I know my 8 year old daughter would be prancing around the house in it all the time!
I also love all your chickens! Do you make up these patterns yourself? I love the bright fabrics you used.
I too am a fabric addict. I am a quilter and have enough fabric to last me several lifetimes! I am trying to refrain from buying fabric until i use up some of what I already own. Feel free to wander over to my blog and check out my quilts.
you are so adorable. I think you should make one for yourself. and then wear it to work. just for kicks. ;)
