How to sew my first tutu

Tutu is always so pretty and just so cute when worn.  Over the weekend, I decided to make my first tutu for a dear friend's gal who is turning 1.  So I used the measurement of 16.5" waist.

Step 1: Pink organza measuring 25" x 4.5" to make the top layer

Step 2: White glittered organza 25" x 16" for my inner layer

Step 3: Pink organza 25" x 16" for the outer layer

Step 4: Sew the top layer to make a tube.

Step 5: Fold both the inner and outer layer in half lengthwise to make 8" length skirt.

Step 6: Sew along the waist line to hold the top layer, inner and outer layer all together.

Step 7: Sew 25" long ribbon along the waist line to house the elastic band.

Step 8: Make a knot at one end of the elastic band.

Step 9: Fold the ribbon down to house the elastic band.  Stitch the ends of the elastic band together.

Step 10: Neatly Sew the ends of the ribbon together hiding the elastic band completely.

Missha Super Aqua review

Hi All.  Sorry about the lateness of this post.  I have been so busy for the first 3 weeks of July and just couldn't squeeze any time out to write this review.  So let's get started.  As I mentioned on my June Bellabox Post, I have found similar products to Bioterm Aquasource series.

When I travelled to South Korea last year, I stumbled across Missha Super Aqua Series.  I bought a set of Super Aqua Hydrating Emulsion, Super Aqua Deep Hydro Cream and Super Aqua Hydrating Toner.

So I have been using these products for over 2 months.  For my normal skin, my skin were not dry even through these winter months.  I didn't have any breakouts and my skin was hydrated.  As it is water-based, it is definitely not oily and greasy.  Comparatively it is a reasonable priced hydrating skin care series.

Super Aqua Hyrdating Toner $19.46

Product claims: Get clean and clear skin with this refreshing Hydrating Toner. It helps you get the right moisture balance for your skin.
Ingredients:Contains Ice Plant Water, which is full of minerals that your skin needs, including Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin A, B5, C, etc.
Also contains Blue Lagoon Water, Mineral Water, and Damask Rose Water to provide extra hydration with a feeling of freshness.
The Active Water System effectively absorbs and maintains moisture in skin.Directions: After washing face, get appropriate amount on cotton puff or hands and gently apply onto face.
Pat face with palms until fully absorbed.

Bonus point: Alcohol free so no tight or dry feeling =^^=

Super Aqua Hydrating Emulsion AU$19.90

Product claim: Hydrating emulsion that balances the moisture balance to keep skin soft and silky. The Active Water elements provide moisture and nutrients.

Ingrdients: 1. Oligo GGF - Sugar elements contained in sugar cane, yeast, molasses, cabbages and beans that has excellent moisturizing effect

2. Trehalose - Also called mushroom sugar that decreases the loss of moisture by reinforcing the skin layers.

Directions: 1. After using toner, apply appropriate amount on skin and gently pat to absorb.

Super Aqua Deep Hydro Cream AU$22.90

Product claim: Intensive moisturizing cream to prevent moisture loss through strengthening skin's moisture barrier, leaving a rich feeling of softness.

Ingredients: Ice Plant Water 10%, rich in minerals and vitamins, it provides moisture to dry skin and helps make a moist and sleek skin with full of moisture.

Directions: At the last step of basic skin care, take an appropriate amount and apply it over the face softly following skin texture. Pat lightly until fully absorbed.

Both emulsion (top) and cream (bottom) are white in color.  One thing I dislike about the emulsion is the bottle and it is hard to control the amount I want to dispense.

Now in Australia, you can purchase Super Aqua series online either on http://www.misshaus.com/ or yesstyle.com.au
