I wanted to post this a while ago, but didn't want to spoil any Christmas surprises.
I got into appliques a while back when I did a couple for jaden. Click here for post.
This was probably the first Christmas present idea that I had and I finished it way ahead of time. It felt GOOD!
I made cute little applique pink shirts and matching tutus for my nieces Jordan and Kate. The tutus are so simple to create. Just a piece of elastic, sewn together. Tulle cut into strips, doubled over and tied in the middle of the strip around the elastic. I just did 2 white strips and then 1 pink.
Take a look:
