Today I got the opportunity to accompany my little niece to her parent/child dance class, since my brother-in-law was unable to take her. What a fun time we had! E and Rora were born 6 days apart, and have been good little friends all their lives, so it was super fun to get to do this dance class with them! (Since E is not mine, I've decided not to post pictures of her here, but you'll have to trust me that the two of them together were simply adorable.)
While at dance class, it occurred to me that I made Rora's tutu more than a year ago, but hadn't posted it here.
I made her tutu from Butterick #5545.
The directions were simple and clear, however it can get a little hairy when you're putting on the 6th layer of gathered tulle.
Have I mentioned before that I hate gathering?
I usually love the look it creates enough to power through, but I hate it!
I like how it ties in the back, which means it will last a little longer as she grows:
Just so you have pictures of all angles, here is what the tutu looks like upside-down!
See? I told you we had fun!
Dance class doesn't get any more fun than tutu's and hanging on the barre pretending to be a monkey!
