Pageant Denim Wear "tutu"


A friend of mine has her daughter
in pageants so I became curious and asked her about "Princess" joining in and
told me there are girls her age all the time, so I entered her. In our first
pageant she did an amazing job and took the title of Tiny Miss Sunburst of Miami
she placed with the Queen title. I was hooked!!!! Seemed like "princess" has what
it takes to compete in pageants. We have done several others since then and have
continued winning. For this last pageant there was a denim wear category and I
decided to make her outfit. I dont dont if you watch "toddlers and tiaras" but i
refuse to pay an arm and a leg for her to be on stage for a min or so. Being the
crafty mom that I am I created the TUTU JUMPER. Heres how I made it :)

Step 1.Iwent to my local goodwill and found the perfect
little jumper for only $1.00,I then purchased about 2 yrds of red tule only 99 cents a yrd. Awesome we are at $3.00


Step 2.Cut tule to desired length and sewed on to the bottom hem of the skirt


Step. 3 Added some butterfly appliques and covereed button with rinestones ((had  in my crafty box)


For a total of $3.00 I made the perfect demin wear outfit for the pageant. I saw one just like this on Etsy for $49.95 Thank God for my Craftyness..
