Princess Ruby

I have been trying to decide what Ruby should be for Halloween. Well, then I saw the cutest costume at Gymboree but didn't want to spend the price. So I thought I bet I could make a tutu and either have her be a butterfly, princess pumpkin, or a witch all with a tutu. So I researched online how to make one and threw one together today in like 20 min. It was so easy. I think I did a pretty good job for my first time. I have a few other ideas of how I could make it cuter. Hey I may even add them to the Sweet Ruby line.
I had some pink and white tulle lying around and so I did both of them together. It needs to be ironed or straightened out a bit, but it is so stinkin cute. However Ruby didn't cooperate while I was trying to take her picture.
I kept trying to make her say "cheese" but she was eating something.

She loved it, she screamed when I took it off. I don't know if the next one needs to be just one color and if so I think I might make it fuller too.
What do you think? Do you like the two colors? Should I just do one color?
(after I took this picture I decided it needed to be fuller, more like a little tut so I added more and walla, perfect.)

I love it! I can't believe you made that, all of my friends have them for their little girls and I bet they weren't cheap! I like the two colors, you could do all pink, all white, all purple,etc... My friend Krissie had a pirate princess party for her little girl and made her a tutu like that but it had pink and black, way cute. You could do a pirate for Huddy, and a pirate princess for Ruby. Look at Krissie's blog to see the party, you may have to scroll back a bit though!

The tutu is adorable! You should put them in your shop, for sure. And I like the multi-colors. You should do some Halloween ones now and put them in your shop! You could do black & purple w/ and orange bow or something. That would be so cute!
