The little man and I attended a special second birthday for my niece on Saturday (well actually cousin but the 26 year age difference is better dealt with by becoming an auntie). Thankfully, I was able to try out some of the little girl projects I have been dying to make.
First up is the TUTU! Seriously, if I had a little girl she would have one in every color combo I could dream up.
They are so darn cute!
The theme of the party was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so I was so excited to actually find some ribbon with Minnie mouse on it. I used bright pink, light pink, and white tulle for the tutu.
What do you think?
Staying with the Minnie Mouse theme, I ordered black and pink iron-on flocking and created an one of a kind onesie. Let me just tell you how much I love this stuff. I absolutely LOVE the texture of the flocking! I also ordered some flocking in white so I can cut out labels and pictures for my son's toy bins and I am so excited to see how it turns out. It is awesome and looks so professional if you cut it out with your Cricut and it is so easy.
*On a side note, if you are following the directions from expressionvinyl.com you might want to adjust your blade depth to 5 rather than 4. I found that it did not cut it out completely and I had to go over it with an exacto knife.
Here's the onsie, complete with Minnie Mouse front and a little bit of ruffles on the back.
It was my first time with ruffles, did I do okay?
Lastly, I created a matching set of clips for her to wear in her hair. She has such beautiful curly brown hair and I know the pink will look adorable on her. I also made a little card for the clips to go on for a nice presentation. What do you think?
Happy Birthday Hope!
I can't wait to see how adorable you look in your new tutu!

I think that you are very talented and that we have alot in common! This was beautiful and looks like alot of fun to make. I have never heard of flocking so I will have to google that one. Everything looked very clean and professional.
