Depending on the waist measurement and how full you want it, you could add an extra strip to make it more full, so use 3m of fabric, but I think either would look good on a 7yo. Let me know if you make one! But I really liked your site.

Are you using a ruffler? Because it is so full. I sewed it with a standard straight stitch and then bunched the fabric up by pulling the elastic. The fullness is just from cramming so much fabric onto the elastic. I love UR tutorial and im really new sewing. But do u. Sew the 5 pieces to the elastic one piece at a time?

And when u r cramming the fabric to the elastic do u sew the fabric behind the elastic. Can I use multi colored instead of just one solid color?

When I go to gather my elastic is suppose to be still inside the fabric till I need to pull to gather?

Please give me some advice if you have any an pray that I can pull it off!! Easy to follow instructions, took me about an hour the hardest part was cutting the material!

I am new to this TuTu making but would like to learn. I am studying all tutorials to see which is the best way to approach this. What do you mean by that trim.

I saw your picture but it not make sense to me. Please explain. You also say while you are sewing the 1st strip together with the elastic to leave needle down in organza and chain-stitch another strip and proceed as before. I am confused. Please help. Hi Lindy, By chain-stitching, I just mean line up the next piece of organza or tulle and just continue sewing — no need to back stitch or cut the threads.

As before, when I get to the next strip, I just line it up straight after the last strip and continue sewing. In the picture for step 8, you can see the small gap between the two pieces of organza, but I just kept sewing so the two strips are attached by the thread, but not overlapping.

I hope this helps. I am lost when you say fold it again. Will you lease clarify step 8? What is being folded again? Hope that makes sense! You used 5 strips are they layered on top of the other or are they sewn on to the elastic as singles? I hope that makes sense. Pls advise as I need to make them soon.

I sewed each of the 5 fabric strips one by one, which gives the waviness to the hem-line. Wow, that makes so much sense and looks amazing. Helpful tutorial! I have been making no sew tutus and have recently discovered that tightening the material too much on the elastic really stretches it out and the tutus were completely stretched out and ruin after 2 months.

Total dissapointment!!! Thanks for sharring!!! This is by far the fastest way to get a great tutu. The sewing makes it sturdier than the tied ones too! Thanks for the simply great idea! The unfinished edges drive me wild and I just think they look so cheap.

THIS is what a tutu should look like. I am a little confused with the instructions because I am a self taught sewer.

I think it will make more sense once I dive into it. I think I need a Hobby Lobby trip now! Someone is wanting me to make their daughter a birthday tutu with 4 colors so this will be very experimental! I hope it turns out as well as you did. Just to be clear, the final result is just the strips of organza chain stitched together folded over right? Thanks for the nice comments. The final result is strips of organza folded in half so two layers, not four.

I am so thankful for this tutorial. I tried it today and it was so much easier than I thought! It turned out so well! I had a problem with stretching the elastic so I am going to work on that. Thank you! Instead it kinda curves under and the skirt makes a bell shape instead of splaying out :-s I may have misunderstood some steps.

When you say selvage to selvage, do you mean the width of your waist? I cut 5 strips the width of the waist by the length of the skirt X2. The only thing I did differently was instead of hemming it I left it and connected the strips with small securing stitches at the end where they meet. Also, as an addition, is it necessary to cut strips? Or can you just cut one long piece of fabric?
