tattoogoddess might be a silly question but what is it that you bought on ebay? I can't tell from the pic

Some of ours worked great and went for years before needing new batteries, other died an instant dust death. A good light addition to most bikes!

Hi fufa! Good to see you again. Let me know how it turns out with your coat, I need to do one with a military style one I found for Ken. I'm also looking into a local tailor, but do like to try on my own.

Hi tamarakay! I will definitely know how things work out. I'm working on some detailing designs I have floating around in my head.

Big puffy one? lol

I would love to make a pan tutu but that is super hard and I don't have the right type of tule (spelling?) for it. So It is just going to be a normal tutu. My mom was a dance mom for a classical ballet group so she is a tutu master. It is going to be black.

I'm a burgin, so I have no idea.

One more item of clothing to bring. I have a weird concept for a multi layer flippable tutu which would offer several color options.

Time to experiment I guess.

Tutu Tuesday is definitely a fun day...but people wear tutus any day really.

Vulturechow mine is reversible. One way it is purple on top--flip it over and it becomes aqua on top. I love it!!! And the pieces mix up pretty easily so you can make the colors look well blended

Here is the only picture known to exist of me wearing it with the matching bikini top I crocheted...I'm always taking the pictures and never remember to try to get some of me :(

Tutus really do look like fun, but for some reason I'm uncomfortable with the thought of wearing one.

I find that tulle is either too scratchy or too limp, DAB, so tutu's are not comfy for me either.

But they sure are cute (as are YOU, Lazerfox!). 8)

I can't wait to see the product of AntiM's utili-tutu she's working on for myLarry. Just saying it cracks me up. I haven't really done costumes yet, sort of stick to electric sorts of hats... might branch out this year. I'd like to get some buckles for pirate shoes.

Dear LF... waving back!!! so nice to see you!

mmm, methinks that tutu-cocking would be just a bad of an offense as shirtcocking only...more frilly.
