Halloween 2010
From the first tutu I made I knew I was hooked :) My oldest daughter wanted to be a zebra so I made her a black and white striped tutu and added some hot pink for a little flair ;)
Right down to her toes! I LOVE how puffy the tutus came out! I decided to freezer paper stencil some dollar store t-shirts to go with their costumes. Then added in little touches like striped tights! I wrote a quick post about it HERE.
My 8 year old daughter wanted to be a devil, "but not a SCARY devil, a cute one!" HA!
I think we achieved that! She was my "Darling Devil" and OH MY WORD AT THE CUTENESS! I posted a FULL TUTU TUTORIAL HERE.
My 5 year old just wanted to wear the witches hat ;-) So I fashioned her outfit after the colors in the hat.
For her shirt, I decided she should be a "Witchy Woman" HA! I added bows instead of straight ribbon threads so that her tutu would be just a little bit different ;) I posted about it HERE.
I was SO SO excited when they wanted me to make their costumes again in 2011! We sat down and came up with all sorts of ideas ... I think I have enough ideas to keep them in tutu costumes until I start making some for my grandbabies! ... hmmm I don't know if I like the sound of that!
Halloween 2011
My oldest, 14 at the time, decided to throw me a tutu curve ball and be a peacock! I had to really think about how to make the back look like a tail! You can see the post about that HERE.
That tutu was a little different but it came out BEAUTIFUL! We freezer paper stenciled her shirt to say "Pretty as a Peacock" and boy does she pull it off!!
My precocious 9 year old wanted to be an angel since she had been a devil the year before. I think she was trying to showcase her duel personalities ;)
She and I collaborated on the outfit and I just adore how it came together :) We freezer paper stenciled her shirt to say "Angel with Attitude" and WOW does that fit her to a T! I wrote about her costume HERE.
My youngest, 6 years old, wanted to be a lady bug. I didn't know how much work I was getting myself into with this one!
I had to hand cut and sew each of the little polka dots on the skirt! But WOW was it cute! Her shirt said "Love Bug" and I think that fit her pretty well :) I wrote a post about the whole thing HERE.
The year I will be trying out the TUTU DRESSES ... I'm a little nervous lol. My oldest wants to be a mummy, my 10 year old a Deatheater {Harry Potter reference ;-)}, and my 7 year old is Cinderella. I can't wait to see them on Halloween, guess I should get started on their costumes!!!
