This is my first attempt at making a tutu for someone besides my DD, who obviously is not picky. I made this for a little girl in her class that is having a birthday. I did this one with the loops instead of tying it to the elastic. Any suggestions/opinions? Thanks for looking! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/janetkayez/IMG_2396.jpg Janet

Gorgeous! I just asked my four year old what her opinion of it was. She said, "It's PERFECT, and I want it. Can I???"

Thanks Andrea, it is for a 4 year old, so I guess that means I'm good!

 Cute!! Did you put the loops at the top and then sew them down on the ribbon or How'd you do it? Judy

LOL Lennie! Send me your measurements and I'll make you one!!! Judy~I just looped the tulle round the elastic (make a loop, pull ends through loop around the elastic). The only thing that I actually sewed on was the ribbon bow. I probably should have put it on a pin, but I do not think she will be washing this. Thanks so much for the compliments!! Janet

This is so cute! I would love to make one for my 4 yr old. I have an older girl that just wasn't into the "girly" stuff as much so when my middle girl came along she was totally different and I have had a ball making her a "princess" lol It's really a great piece! Tina *~~~~(**)~~~~*

That tutu is just beautiful! I recently made one for my 16 month old but it was an out of control tutu (8 yards of tulle and I knotted the tulle around the elastic). It's way too much for a little one. Do you know how much tulle you used? Did you cut it into 12 inch strips? I'm trying to figure out what you mean by looping it. I feel like such a newbie when I bombard people with questions. Thanks for any explanations! Michelle |

Wow, that's a great tutu! My question is how wide and long were your strips of tulle? I think I have it figured out how it's done. Please correct me if I'm wrong. A strip of tulle it folded in half, put the folded part over the elastic and then pull the two strips up thru the loop? Thanks!! - Maureen.

I just love it. My daughter has never been into dance so she has never wanted one. Too bad. I would love to make one of those for her. You did a great job!

For those that asked....I used 4 yards of tulle, and cut it into 4-6 inch strips with my rotary cutter. Then I just made a loop out of each strip and pulled the end pieces back through the loop around the elastic to attach. Let me know if that answers your question. I will be making another one later this week for dd's Halloween costume and can take pics as I go along if needed. Have a great week!

Hi: Yes, please post pictures. I'm being brain impaired over this looping business. I can't seem to figure it out. I've always knotted around the elastic but then it gets so puffy. Michelle |
