Ballet Tutu

My creation using Pellon products is a ballet tutu, specifically the decoration applied to a tutu that I made. First the design was traced onto the paper side of regular Wonder-Under and was then fused to ivory satin. After cutting out, the intricately-cut satin appliques were fused to a pink chiffon base, and then I machine embroidered around the appliques. There are "peek-a-boo" cutouts in the appliques which show a deeper pink satin applique fused underneath the ivory satin and pink chiffon. After applying jewels, pearls and other decoration, the chiffon pieces were tacked to the tutu bodice and skirt so that they could be easily changed when the ballet needs a new look.
