Newborn Tutu!!! Updated with tutorial!

[Kymy]

I just HAD to make tutu's for the twins, even if they are to small to really enjoy them!  Well I am almost finished with one, but I didn't have quite enough tulle sitting around so I need to get a little more, but since it was just the back we could still try it on!  I didn't make it super think since they are so tiny anyways, but I think it is just to darn cute!!!  I have some pink & white to make one for Carlie to!  Baylie is the model here...

SUPER easy to make yourself!!! I found these on a website a while back, but I can't remember which one!  If someone knows let me know so I can give them proper credit.  Anyways...

For a toddler/kid size... you need 4 yrds of tulle (2 yrds each of 2 different colors).  Elastic for the waist (I used 3/8" for Baylie's... I think that would work best for any size)   

Cut piece of elastic to fit waist comfortably and hand or machine sew it.

You will have purchased your tulle off a bolt at the fabric store. Cut it in half on the fold, then cut it into 1.5"-2" strips, depending on your preference. This is another one of those very forgiving crafts.


Stack 3 strips on top of each other, alternating colors. In the example below you have a stack of pink-white-pink.



Fold the stack in half and loop around the elastic. Pull it through into a knot. (pic below)



Your next stack should alternate color in the opposite way as yourt first stack, so white-pink-white.

Repeat this process all the way around the elastic.  More or less layers can be added to your desire... but 3 is the minimum that I recommend.

And TAH-DAH you have a tutu for little dancer! (this is the pic that goes with the tutiorial... the one I made is the one above)

 If I read the post right, you said they were twins? If so, they're adorable!! I miss my 2 girls being that small, but I surely don't miss the diapers! WOW, talk about messy! (And the puke!) Very cool job on the tutu! "Tu" cute!

Adorable!!!  It always amazes me how small newborns are!

Congatulations on your baby girls! They look beautiful in their tutus. Thanks for the tutorial.

Tiny tiny newborns!  Adorable!

Great work on the tutus as well, but the babies kinda steal the show

Also, wouldn't the tule be a bit scratchy for tiny babies?  Especially since they lie down all day?  I'd probably make the tutus for toddlers, but I don't have kids, so it's really a moot point.  Thanks for making the tutorial too, it looks super easy.

There are different kind of tulles... the one I used for theirs (since I didn't need much) is not quite as stiff, but is a little softer.  I wounldn't leave it on them for ever... Its just fun for taking pictures

Luckily they are pretty mellow tempered & like to play on the floor & look at the toys on their play gym mat.

omg .. so wrinkly and adorable!!  The tutu makes them 10 times cuter!!!!   OMG!

[purplefoot2004]

Love the tutu's. I also make them for newborns and sell them on Ebay. I use 35 yards of tulle for a fuller look. Great job. The girls are beautiful!!!
