1. DIY Tutu Skirt for Your Little Daughter
You must have come across the full volume graceful tutu skirts worn by the
professional ballet dancers and felt like presenting a nice tutu skirt to your loving
daughter. In case your little angle’s birthday is just round the corner, you can
encourage the artist in you to make a tutu skirt that has been stitched by you. Do
not feel nervous about this idea because the entire process is much simpler than
what it sounds.
Here is a simple tutorial about DIY Tutu Skirt Girls. Watch out!
Step one: Find a firm waistband
The basic structure of a tutu skirt is a firm waistband that will hold the fabric
against the waist of your daughter. Therefore, initiate the search to find a
headband or wide elastic that will serve excellently as the waistband for the skirt.
Step two: Arrange for the tulle
The basic fabric of a tutu skirt is tulle. Therefore, the next thing that you need to
arrange for after the waistband is tulle fabric. You will find two types of tulle
fabrics in the market. One of the varieties will be soft, but it will drape well. The
other variety of tulle fabric will be hard and stiff. It might not drape well, but
provide the tulle skirt bounce. Moreover, you can also go for tulle skirt of a single
2. color or multicolored shirt. Make list of your preferences, and then purchase the
tulle fabric that suits your requirements.
Step three: Make the pattern
Tulle skirts come in a variety of patterns. Some varieties have separate units that
are stitched together and attached to the waistband. Similarly, other varieties
have simpler construction with characteristic gathered pattern at the waist with
free flowing and bouncy fall. Decide about the pattern that will be perfect for
your little daughter. In case you have settled for making a patterned tutu skirt
with separate units, you need to make a single paper pattern. Now trace it on a
uniformly folded tulle fabric with a carbon paper so that a single paper pattern
creates a number of fabric patterns. Now stitch these pieces together and attach
them with the waistband. However, if you have planned to create a simple
gathered tulle skirt, cut the tulle fabric diagonally, create pleats in it and stitch it
with the waistband. Just remember that you have been advised to cut the tulle
diagonally because the process of bias cutting will technically provide flexibility to
the fabric.
Step four: Decorate the skirt
At this finishing stage, you need to decorate the tulle skirt. You can use sequins,
ribbons, pompoms and other such fabric accessories as decorative elements for
the skirt. Stitch them with the skirt, look for attractive gift hampers New Zealand,
Australia or wherever you live, pack the tulle skirt nicely and make your daughter
happy on her special day.
