New Recipe - Chicken Thighs with Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

9/02/2009

Making a Tutu

I recently made a tutu for my niece's 3rd birthday. It was so much fun and turned out so cute, that I thought I would share how I made it. For the most part, I followed the instructions from the video I found on YouTube, How to make a no sew tutu, if you want a visual. Materials: scissors ruler 4 - 6"...
