I bought a pink tutu for my great niece Chloe at the Women’s Exchange for $15.00. It had lightweight plastic butterflies and little bows that you buy in packets hot glued on it and Chloe loved it. I see a tutu business in your future :) If you make the tutu longer and maybe double it leave the embellishments off it could be a skirt.

Wow! Those are awesome finds. My friend recently got into the tutu-making business and has done really neat things wtih them, like putting peacock feathers, etc. in them (depending on the colors). A great idea!
Which goodwill did you go to? I can never find anything at the one by me (17th and South)

My mother used to use the left over fabric from my tutus (yes I did do ballet) and make me new curtains at easter. Every year I would get new curtains for my room. For my niece, she would add the fabric as a fringe to her socks. Very cute.
