My sister is expecting my first sweet little niece right now! I have decided that this precious little girl is going to need a closet full of tutus! I measured my roommates little girl to create my first little tutu. I sewed 3/4" elastic at a length of 2" less than the waist measurement (as the elastic stretches out while tying on tulle). I cannot remember how much tulle I used but I cut it in 6" wide strips. To cut the length, I measured from waist to knee and doubled that measurement. I then put the elastic around my thigh and tied on the tulle by slip knotting it around the elastic.
In retrospect, I should've cut the ribbon into longer lengths. I also sewed ladybug buttons at the knot of each ribbon. We have been calling my soon-to-be niece "the Lil' Lady" so it seemed fitting to make her a ladybug tutu. This will not fit her until she is close to a year old.
