Behold, my very first embroidery pattern! ❤

This ballerina is performing the Attitude ballet figure. You can find the design page here, or in Embroidery Patterns > Ballet Figures in the menu above. I’ve kept her tutu nice and simple, that way you can design your very own outfit! You can even ignore the ruffling and go for a clean, straight hem or pleating!

Okay, to be completely honest, I’m at loss when it comes to her costume design myself. I’ve even gone so far as to print out copies of the pattern and color them in with different designs in question… I have a color palette, but still not a clue. Maybe you have any ideas?

As for the design, I’ve been inspired by a behind-the-scenes documentary series about the dancers of the Dutch National Ballet. I’m a sucker for ballets and operas, but can only afford a ticket once in a blue moon (usually sponsored). This way I can bring some of the drama into my life.

Make sure to tell me what you think! More ballet to come your way soon!

Un, deux, trois… rond de jambe attitude…
