TuTu TuTu

So for those of you family members that are unaware, I am currently planning Ava's first birthday party. I have got the theme and have been going crazy with idea's for decorations, food, invites, outfits etc. I found this adorable outfit on etsy (which is an AMAZING site) with a tutu and onsie included for about 50 bucks. I had talked to my friend Steph at work, who has a little one turning one in about a week (same day as Cole) and she got Gemma (her daughter of course :) a custom made outfit with a tutu from Bundle of Joy in Waverly, but mentioned how they could be pretty easy to make. So that got the wheels cranking in my head and I thought "I can make one, I am pretty creative and it can't be that hard". So I ventured out to Hobby Lobby and bought some tulle and ribbon, you tubed "how to make a sew free tutu", and began my mission. I was RIGHT! HOW EASY. Took me maybe an hour all together to cut the tulle and make the tutu and guess what... it cost under 4 dollars. I spent 8-9.00$ at hobby lobby but I have enough left to make at least one more if not two. Maybe I should start selling them for 30-40, that's a pretty good mark up. The pictures do not do the tutu justice, it is so sparkly and bright. Little miss Ava will be ready for any dress up day as Mom will be making many more tutus throughout her child hood! Thanks Grandma Kay for the pictures, your camera showed them a little better then mine!
