Little Red

It should come as no surprise to those of you who know me that I love tutus.  I was searching for costumes with tutus when I came across this adorable Little Red Riding Hood costume.  Initially, I tried to recreate it exactly huge tutu and all.  I bought 11 yards of tule trying to recreate it and it ended up looking ridiculous.  I suspect that the original is some kind of sewn tutu and I only know how to make tied tutus which end up a lot poofier.  (Note to self: research sewn tutus before next year.)

So I scrapped the tutu and decided to use an existing red dress as the base of her costume.  I made a red cloak and an apron and then put her in her boots.

Michael and I decided that our Little Red could take care of herself so he modded a nerf gun.  He painted some wolves on the gun a la WWII fighter pilots so I decided to add one to her apron.  I think it turned out super cute!
