Princess Gift Set

My sil asked me to make a crown, wand, and tutu for my niece for Christmas.  I just finished it and wanted to share some pics...



My stitching was a bit wild...I think I need more practice at curves!





You can't see from this pic, but this is definately the biggest, poofiest tutu I have ever made!  I can't wait to see it on her!  It is a double layer petti tutu (I used two strips for each knot on the waistband) 

See this post for instructions on making a petti tutu


This is the view from underneath... I told you it was huge! I wish the colors had translated into the pics...they look like candy in person.  My hubby got me a new camera for Christmas and I am still learning it. ♥

You can find the tutorial for this tutu and others here.
