basically i'm little red riding hood for halloween. but it's got a gothic/punk rock flair to it & i want my skirt to be a petticoat/tutu-type.

i went to my local thriftstores but of course i only found WHITE petticoats & i need black or red.

can you dye tulle?

and/or, is tulle easy to sew together? because maybe i'll just make it myself.

yes.
its synethic right? just use rit dye. it dyes pretty much anything.

i would recommend draping the tulle first, basting it and then sewing it if you dont have a pattern.

that being said i found http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=22205

& it seems fairly easy. should i give it the old heave ho? or should i just stick to buying a petticoat from the thrift store.

if you can find one at the thrift store first, i'd do that. but it doesnt look that hard.

speaking of halloween costumes, theres 17 hours left on buzzes costume. should i have the seller send it to me so i can mail it to clotty or have the seller send it yous guys?

well i went out and bought 6 yards of red & 6 yards of black tulle anyway. whatever, if i can't make a skirt out of it, i'll just sell it on craftser or something.

i will keep looking for petticoats though, the one i found today was 29.99 USED & ffs, i could buy a squaredancing petticoat for 35. & it'd be brand new. so whatevs.

i don't know what you should do, maybe ask clotty. or maybe i'll ask her for you. i'm pretty sure she'll say whatever's easiest on you. & whatever the seller doesn't have an issue with.
