Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 yard of tulle
• 1 yard of gross grain ribbon. For best results choose ribbon that is at least 1/2 inch thick.
• A T-shirt. I like finding t-shirts in the boys department and then feminizing them with a tutu. It gives the piece a little bit of an edge. But if your princess is only interested in pink, use what sh

1. 
    

   Fold your yard of tulle in half, and then half again. Trim the Tutu to the length you desire. I find a tutu of more than 4 inches to be too much for a T-shirt. Of course the choice is yours.

2. 
    

   Pin your Tutu around the shirt about 2 inches above the bottom of the shirt. At each pin, fold fabric over to gather the tull. Cut off excess.

3. 
    

   Sew one stitch around to secure the tutu to the T-shirt.

4. 
    

   Pin the ribbon around the edge of the tutu to give it a nice finish. Sew one stitch across the top of the ribbon and one across the bottom.

5. Consider embellishing your tutu shirt with a ribbon applique. Of course you don't want to go overboard, sometimes simple is best.

6. Wash this tutu t-shirt on delicate or hand-wash cycles. Line dry.
