Tutus by Dani

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Making these two costumes felt a bit like making dolls clothes as Allegra (Tinkerbelle) and Charlotte (tutu) are only five and four years old.

Dani Legge: Woodend, Victoria, Australia; I started sewing tutus over 18 years ago when my eldest daughter was given a classical solo to perform at an eisteddfod. I became totally fascinated with the world of tutus and since then have been trying to expand my knowledge. Most of my tutus are made from stretchy lycra (spandex to those in other countries) as mostly I sew for growing girls, but I have dabbled in the world of traditional, boned, non-stretch tutus as well. This blog will show some of my favourite creations and some of the problems I have encountered along the way.
