Make Your Own No-Sew Tutu! (Miss Tutu DVD Course!)


Guess what I did this week? I made my very first tutu, and it looks GREAT! I honestly cant believe I made it, its sooo nice.

Although I consider myself a crafty girl, I hadnt tackled this project yet because it looked a bit overwhelming. I wasnt sure what was involved, and besides it had to be tough to make I mean, people sell tutus for $40-60 (or more)!

Youll probably be surprised to find out that it cost me less than $10.00 to make my first tutu. And I honestly like it better than any Ive purchased. Crazy, right? Well, I cant recommend making your own tutu more!

If youre like me and do better with someone showing you how to make something rather than reading directions online or in a book, you should check out MissTutu.com. Shell send you a DVD with step-by-step video instructions showing you how to make 15 styles of tutus! This includes the basic no-sew tutu, tutus of different lengths and thicknesses, tutu dresses, tutu overalls and skirts, and tutu onesies. Details and photos of each one can be found here.

My Experience with the MissTutu.com Course:

Thanks to Jenni, the mom behind MissTutu.com, I was able to give this tutu-making course a test drive. I received her DVD by mail and downloadable manual by email, and was ready to go!

After raiding my local Joann Fabrics and purchasing the colored tulle and elastic I needed to make the Basic No-Sew Tutu, I turned on the DVD. I found her instructions very easy to follow it is just like having a friend sit next to you and show you what to do as she makes her own tutu!

Although this is a no-sew tutu, she does use a needle and thread to sew the elastic together and shows you exactly how to do that if you have any doubt as to your ability. It seriously takes like one minute. I used my sewing machine since I had it out and it took like 15 seconds. 😉 She also gives you the option of buying a particular brand of hair band that will also work if you dont want to have to sew even that tiny bit. Its totally up to you.

Then it was just a matter of cutting and tying all of my tulle to my elastic waistband!

I appreciated the hints and tips she gave as I went I think it saved me some mistakes I might have made without her knowledgeable instruction. Heres my resulting totally gorgeous tutu (if I do say so myself) with my daughter Emma modeling it:

This will be her tutu costume for Halloween this year I plan on painting her face, too. You could make one with red and white tulle for a ladybug costume, or orange and black for a pumpkin costume, the possibilities are endless and your little girl would have a very unique and adorable costume! I saw fairy wings at the Dollar Store, too how about a fairy costume? Fun fun!

I cannot WAIT to make the other tutus on this DVD and have perfect confidence that Ill be able to do it with Jennis help. Im very happy with her tutu-making course and the resulting gorgeous tutus Im able to make (and sell if I want!).

Now in case youre thinking thats a bit pricey for a DVD, let me remind you that youre getting everything you need all at once 15 video tutorials. Im thinking that if this were a mass market moneymaking thing, they would be selling them for $15 per DVD tutorial at least, and that would add up to more than $100 by the time you collected them all. Its nice having everything on one DVD, too. I think its worth it, personally.
