Recently, I read a post on MomDot about making your own tutus. Then Prasti sent me an email with instructions. So yesterday, I tried it out.
It was easy and I think they turned out really cute! The only sewing I did was connecting the two ends of the elastic to make a waistband. I used about three yards of tulle for each tutu, and I cut the tulle into strips about 28 inches long and 6 inches wide. Then I just tied it to the elastic. Tada! Each tutu took less than half an hour to make, and I spent about $12 total.
Wanna try it? Here are a few links you can check out for instructions:

Let me know if you make one! I'd love to see pictures!
Oh, wait until you see Evie's Halloween costume! I'm not going to spoil the surprise, but Aunt Rachel made something that required lots of sewing, and it is "tutu cute!"

She is having a good ol' time with her new tutus! So...did you just hand-sew them, or do you have a machine?
Those are great! And the best part is the freedom to have tutus in every color. I mean, let's not pretend that ballerinas always wear pink - they have a costume rack.
So should we all, no?
She looks adorable in those.
That is genius! And they look adorable :) You did a great job.
how fun! you did such a good job making them...they are so cute!
if only I had a girl...lol
well, Sarah, you continue to write a great blog and I think especially for Mothers. You talk from the heart, share practical ideas for sharing with children and write so well.
congratulations, again to Jyoti!
I love all the sharing about Evie! It makes me feel like I am there.
Looking forward to my visit - hope the car holds up - LOL.
