Tulle Dance Top Tutorial

This top went with the tulle heart bow I posted last week.  My soloist wore this with a tutu and silver booty shorts.  I wanted something that went across here belly so it wasn't completely bare.  The tulle was a great addition and helped tie into her song, "Warm It Up With Love."

Tulle Heart Hair Bow Tutorial

My studio has competed twice now and we are doing great!  This weekend is our last competition and I have a couple more dances at this one.  I had fun embellishing one of the my girl's costume for her solo routine.  It was a solid silver costume, but I wanted a splash of red.  The song is called "Warm It Up With Love," so I thought that hearts would also be a cute addition!

"Welcome Little Sweetea" Bunting

 I am excited to show my first Etsy sale!  I was requested to make this bunting for an awesome mom at dance.  She was throwing a baby shower based on the book "Little Sweeteas."  The shower was absolutely gorgeous!  She had adorable "cutie cakes" and "sweetie pie fruit salads!"  The banner was a perfect touch to bring the party together!

Ruffled Bag Tutorial

We have dance competition coming up soon and I wanted a cute bag to use!  Since our colors are black and pink, I knew this would be perfect!

Dance Costume Top Tutorial

Tutu Shorts Costume Tutorial

One of my girls at dance picked out a costume online that was way too expensive for what it was.  I knew that I could make her the same thing for way less.  Also, I could add the embellishments as it was being made.

Here is our inspiration from The Line Up costume company:

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.
