As a child, I used to adore dressing up. I particularly remember a floaty pink net skirt and purple wide brimmed hat! I am really excited about making some creations for Little Crumpet as she grows up. She already has a small pink suitcase under her desk, which is beginning to fill with the odd few pieces. She is especially fond of her 'crown'! Her pink tutu was the one I made for her first birthday, so is a little small now, but I may just remake it on elastic, rather than ribbon, so it will stretch and also will be easier for her to pull on herself.
There are hundreds and thousands of DIY tutorials for dressing up outfits on Pinterest, but here are a few of my favourites:
This Cinderella dress by Llevo el invierno is just beautiful!
These bird wings by are absolutely adorable. I think I would back them too and hide the raw edges.
I am so making this peacock outfit one day! You can find the tutorial over on Shwin and shwin's page.
This Tinkerbell inspired dress doesn't come with a tutorial, but is super easy to make:
Also on the tutu theme, this flower girl outfit from The Nonpareil Home is simple and beautiful:
Of course headwear is very important too! These crowns are just adorable:
This one from Stitch 11:
And this felt crown from Small Things:
Every Princess needs a hat too:
Of course, let's not forget the boys! Check out this very cute Peter Pan outfit from Make it-love it:
For the aspiring fireman, what about this airtank from Crayon Box Chronicles:
Head on over to Running With Scissors' page for these gorgeous dinosaur tails:
I could carry on all day! Maybe I will come back with a Volume Two later in the year!
