What does every little princess need besides a crown...a pretty pink tutu of course! After spoiling my nephews for the last 7 years, I was SUPER excited to spoil my little niece. I didn't want to buy her just anything for her first birthday celebration so I decided I would make her a tutu!
After getting introduced to Pintrest by a co-worker and instantly becoming addicted, I found a tutorial on making a tutu that didn't require any sewing! You can find the instructions here http://justwemoms.blogspot.com/2009/06/easy-no-sew-tutu-tutorial.html. I altered the yards of tulle to 6 yards total and it was the perfect amount (I only had a few yards left over). After deciding on the perfect pink colors to use, I gathered up the rest of my supplies and headed home. I read the instructions a few more times and then it was time to get started.
My husband went for a bike ride with his brother and this was my perfect window of opportunity to work on my project. I poured myself a glass of wine and got started cutting tulle. After a couple hours of cutting tulle and folding it over the elastic, I was done! Overall I spent aprox 2 hours making the tutu, but that included cutting the tulle, sewing the elastic together, and folding the tulle to make the tutu.
Attached are a few pictures of the final project - including the cutest 1 year old I know wearing the tutu!!
