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.
