tutu dance bags and ballerinas

See... I am sewing a LITTLE bit. the girls both started dance with Ms Diane. i LOVE it... they LOVE it. it's LOVEly. Sew... i was out of budget BEFORE spending $20 each on a dance bag for them... this is what i came up with... for just a few dollars (we purchased the polka dot fabric and the ribbon roses...) i got the idea for a tutu bag from this blog... if you're needing to make a bag anytime, i found these other great sites... - for a bagsket look here... -for a draw string backpack try here and here....Cute huh?! the bags AND the girls... Here is Anna's class... Here is Ellie's class... doesn't Anna look like a real ballerina? yes. the girls are VERY quick to remind me that they need to PRACTICE their tap and ballet... not as quick at REMEMBERING to practice violin and piano.

    Thanks so much for linking to our drawstring bag tutorial, Jenifer. We love the bags you made for your budding balerinas.

    When they've outgrown their current leotards, you might want to take a look at our tutorial for recycling a leotard into a sweet tote bag. It makes an adorable memento :)

    I love the pics of the girls and their dance classes. How fun! I can't wait for Claire to be old enough... we had her 2nd bday party yesterday and she was given her first pair of ballet shoes. So fun :)

    Josh is taking a preschool movement class at the studio where I teach. He likes it ok, but doesn't love it :) I think we'll try to put him in soccer too.
