I had a dilemma. My little Princess' first birthday was coming up. The party was mostly planned and the gifts bought. But the outfit problem was a funny one. Our best friend wanted to make her a birthday tutu and I wanted to also. Now what? After thinking through things the solution became very clear. One tutu for her birthday Sunday. When she was recognized by the church. And the other tutu for her birthday party. And so we made a day out to include shopping at Hobby Lobby. Pink with black underlay was the one choice and white with sparkly white was the colors for the other one.
And we set to work. Or....maybe my best friend did :) I went to check out
pinterest first. Yes, that spells trouble. Because I came up with a new idea for the tutu I was planning to make. The question was; Did I have enough tulle? I jumped into the project anyways. Deciding to make a tutu dress instead of the traditional skirt. And it worked out beautifully. With the perfect amount of tulle to complete it. Adding the ruffled ribbon I had bought on a whim earlier. And a white flower accent for the front. I tried it on the birthday girl to make sure everything fit and she fell in love with it. Yes, to the point of crying when it was time to take it off.

And then of course we needed a matching hair bow.
And then the birthday girl was ready to be a princess at her first birthday party.
