Fabric Strip Tutu Tutorial

Okay, I know we have all seen this tutu on Pinterest:

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, but was sad that the link took me to Etsy instead of a tutorial.

I wanted to make my own version of the skirt, so I thought it would be a perfect Christmas dance costume idea!  We always keep our Christmas dance costumes simple, so handmade costumes are perfect!  I have 9 5th and 6th grade girls in my class that I teach, but this tutorial can be adjusted for any age and size.

Supplies:

3 yards of fabric total

Elastic

Pinking Shears

Ruler / Measuring Tape
Sewing Machine

Directions:

Step 1: Begin by prewashing and ironing your fabric.  Below are my nine coordinating fabrics.  I love these because they are different colors but they still go together.

Happy Thanksgiving

Bunting Tutorial

Happy Birthday Bunting Tutorial 

Recently I was asked to make this banner for a special little boy turning one, so I thought that I would create my first tutorial with it.  This Happy Birthday banner was created as two pieces, but the tutorial could easily be customized with any saying and size.

Supplies:

Fabric for triangles: one yard total

Fabric for circles: 1/4" yard

Fabric for letters: 1/4"yard

Matching Thread

Bias Tape

Fusible Interfacing

Scissors or Rotary Cutter

Directions:

For this bunting, there are four different fabrics used in the triangles.  We got a half of a yard of each triangle fabric.  The teal is used for the circles and we got a forth of a yard of it.

New Blog

I am so excited to finally begin this craft blog!  Once I discovered how inspiring the online craft world is about a year ago, I knew I needed to be a part of it.  It has taken me a long time designing and preparing this blog so I am excited to be posting.  That's enough about me..it's time to get my first tutorial ready.
