Tutu Pretty

So this is what I've spent most of today doing! Seriously started at 12.30, finished about 5! There Penny and Belles costumes for next weekends fairytail dog show

I love the slipper! No head gear? I shouldn't have aksed should I!
Pretty tutus Kate, poor doggies.

Thats for another day also their only 3/4 round so not to hinder their movements. Penny actually really likes hers... she runs around with happy tail lol

lol. can't wait to see the headgear to match

Oh dear poor doggies I hope they win something, like the multi coloured one best, what kind of material are they made from Kate.

Cannot believe they keep them on! Most dogs I have known would of ripped them off in a matter of seconds.

Belle even looks as if she is smiling lol

Their made with voile material Billie.

Any animal in this house gets used to being dressed up pretty quick LOL! The elastic isn't too tight but tight enough to stay on, also as I said their 3/4 so shouldn't irritate them too much lol

You need a slap, pmsl.

Aww so cute.

I was talking about your puppies last week with my Mum. She was telling me about someone on the park that has recently got a cute little puffball of fluff. that it had one parent that is a dog with no hair and the other does. She'd got it off the net.

I immediately thought ofyou, but none of us could remember what type of dogs they are LOL, not much good eh.

I love those.........

my daughter just asked if we could make tutu's for the babies ( I have 2 grand daughters ages 9 months and 3 months)

thank you for the inspiration

Jodi

Karin I meant to reply back to your message but completely forgot! Yup sounds like the ball of fluff was a chinese crested powderpuff!

I would love the link thank you and the the no sew technique awesome.... recently my daughter moved back in with me with her family so had to give up my craftroom for now...and all of my craft things including my singer ses 2000 has been displaced...I have limited space now so draggin it out and putting away papercraft stuff is too much like work right now....lol....
but for my grand daughters I would drag that sewing machine out and sew them the world.........
Jodi

thank you so much I know already my daughter will have me making these ...or perhaps she can try while we are running our flea market booth this weekend
jodi

that is an awesome tutorial and extremely easy to do...

I do have one question tho...do you know if you can change white tulle to a colored tulle with something like alcohol ink....or other crafting product other than dye I bought a ton of white on clearance and haven't used it for anything hoping I can change the color.....Jodi

I have no idea Jodie... you'll have to play then let us know LOL

I'd only be worried that alcohol inks are expensive to use and you could use quite a lot trying to dye enough tulle for tutus

very true....


I'll have to play and see what I can come up with.....I don't use dye too much....and with everything I have in my craft supplies there has to be something ...
Jodi

I think you might find food coloring would work Jodie

Just don't wear them in the rain afterwards!!!
Might be tricky dying them as I think it's a nylon type thread, yes have a go on a little bit and let us know

I'm going to look so cute next to Penny!! Apparently Kate thinks I should wear wings, apparently i won't be!

But i bought you purple ones especially

Thanks for that name Kate, will pass it on to my Mum, so cute.

Wonder ifyou could die it with stazon. lay it on plain paper and ink, then the paper will be patterened too, leave to use another day LOL. I once altered net curtain material with ink pads.

I had some white tulle left over from a project and my daughter could not wait to make a tutu she has one finished for my grand daughter lexy and she accented it with some cute fake pink daiseys that we had picked up at the dollar store .....I will post pics this afternoon she finished it while baby was sleeping so have to wait till she wakes to dress her up in it....

my daughter has found something fun and easy to make and since everyone she knows has baby girls she will have lots of requests....question tho should I post my pic here or should I post a new thread....
