HULA!

I am so excited to be offering my new Hula tutus! It is about time I finally got them listed, but they may not have been as special had it not taken as long.

Last Spring, Tieran was obsessed with Hula things. Inspired by an activity they would do each week in Miss Vivian's jazz class.

We bought the coconut bra, the lei necklaces, halos, and bracelets (she wore them on her ankles too). And finally, at the end of the year, just before her Graduation last May, I made her the hula tutu that she had been begging for as a reward for doing so well in preschool. But my tutu creativity had not yet been what it is now. It was just a simple tutu with straight cut ends made in two shades of green.

I had intended to list it in my etsy shop, but the summer quickly got so busy, I ended up nearly closing shop until the fall.

This February I got a request for a Hula tutu for a Birthday Party. Being the experienced tutu maker that I am now, I immediately thought that it needed to be a pixie tutu! I made her a beautiful, two-toned green, pixie cut hula tutu and rushed it out of here (she needed it 3 days from when she contacted me). So, of course, it was another awesome original tutu that I didn't get a chance to take pictures of.

Now that summer is approaching, and the seasonal flowers came in. I found these big, beautiful bushes of Hibiscus! I was inspired! Unfortunately it took a couple weeks to find the time to make something simply because I wanted to. My days are pretty jam packed with making tutus that have actually been ordered. But eventually, I was able to squeeze it in. I took the original idea of the pixie tutu I created for the birthday party in February, added in accent strips of the colors of the rainbow, and added about a dozen hibiscus flowers all around the waist. It came out even better than I had imagined!
