PINK TUTU SKIRT UPCYCLE

Pink Tutu Skirt Upcycle

There is nothing quite as girly as a pink tutu and in my case a pink tutu skirt upcycle.  I was going through our closets and I happened upon a beautiful dress.  It had once belonged to my Tiffany and I noticed that the bottom was a lovely pink tutu that I could see being a skirt in another life.  


So I decided right then and there that I was going to give this beautiful dress that new life as a skirt. 

First I removed the pretty flowers, ties and buttons from the dress and then I cut the skirt off the top.  I will use these pretties later for sure....




Then I stitched a thin ribbon onto the skirt. 


 I folded the ribbon over and stitched a pocket for elastic.  I left an opening to put the elastic into the skirt.  Then I pulled the elastic through and closed the opening in the ribbon. 


Just like that and in about an hour, I had a beautiful pink tutu skirt that fits me beautifully and my daughter's dress now has a new life. 




I sew love making beautiful things and I love to recycle and reuse, so this project was perfect. 

I think I might have to make a new handbag to match my new skirt.  I have this dress in a smaller size that was once my June Bug's dress.  Hummm........

Maybe I will have one to show off in my next post. 

I got a new swing dress and I had to alter it so that it fit me correctly.  I can't wait to wear it out with my Eric.

I am also working on a new Button Bracelet.  This will be like my Doni Button Bracelet (Seen Here).  However, this one will be Beverly Button Bracelet.   I am waiting on some vintage glass buttons but here is what I have collected so far.  I think it will be beautiful!



I love beautiful Buttons!


Fall is here and soon I might even be able to wear my winter coat.  I got it cleaned and ready just in case.
