Fabric Tutu Tutorial

You'll need fabric, scissors, and elastic for the tutu. First cut strips.  I made it for a 9 month old so my measurements were about 18 inches long for the fabric, 2 inches wide. The elastic I wrapped around her waist and measured because she's a little thing.  You can sew the elastic together but I just tied it in a knot as shown. 

Next I cut the ends on a diagonal.

Wrap the elastic around a paper towel roll to hold it in place as you begin to make slip knots around the entire elastic.  Fold fabric in half and place under the elastic and then take the two pieces and form a slip knot. Tighten and continue all the way around.

Here are a few done!

With the left over fabric I made a headband to match. My next tutorial will be how to make these.

I'm very pleased with how it came out. Hard to see the beauty of the tutu since she can't stand!
