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.
