Very gorgeous

[@MKTUTUS]

Thank You so much Frankie!

[@chelij2751]

Also the pinking shears also help with the fabric from fraying. So that is actually a really great idea to use those for your strips of fabric throughout the tutu. I like this idea :-) Thanks for the video

[@ajperez101]

thank you!!! with your video i was able to make my 1 year old niece a tutu for her birthday!! I freakin LOVE it!!!!

[@MKTUTUS]

HI Amanda, that is awesome!! glad i could help :) would LOVE to see pictures!! email [e-mail]

[@XOCHITLW]

BEAUTIFUL.

[@debbiemarkgraf6901]

So cute!! TFS

[@MKTUTUS]

You are so welcome!

❤❤❤

[@uniondividecreekcemetery1580]

There is a pinking blade for rotary cutter which would cut the time tremendously.

[@pambeddingfield4060]

Absolutely adorable..

[@Honeychilecrafts]

You make using those pinking shears look so easy

[@MKTUTUS]

Honey Toombs hahah, thanks. Its actually not that easy they are a bit difficult. I'm very picky when it comes to straight lines & these for sure don't do that lol. At the end you cant tell anyhow. I did practice a bit on scraps as well, which I highly suggest :)

[@pinkolima]

😍 I will make it 💖

[@almaramirez1992]

can you please do a tutorial of the matching headband .

[@TaoHands77]

So cute

[@sharonfasnacht9344]

How do you figure out how many strips of fabric/tulle to cut for each tutu? Thanks!

[@d.zaldivar1354]

Beautiful 😍😍

[@MKTUTUS]

Thank YOu

[@TeresaV]

How do you launder this tutu? Cold water handwash and air dry?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi you would need to handwash as the tulle does not wash well & will get ruined in the washer/dryer. Hang Dry

[@sharonfasnacht9344]

so cute! thank you for the tutorial!!

[@noel_and_elle1994]

Love!

[@lmlm4358]

What do they normally wear under the tutu

[@MKTUTUS]

ive seen them wear shorts, leggins if its cold , babys normally wear diaper covers

[@kaylathompson6584]

Have you always used an elastic band? I’ve seen some people use ribbon or a crochet headband material. Do you know if the elastic band works better?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi yes i personally dont like the crochet bands because if you tie too tight they will stretch and loose the elasticity. Ive never had problems with the elastic

[@anitacarroll4910]

Hi this is so beautiful! What size would my elastic have to be for my baby she turns 1 , but she was premature her weight is 16 Ibs 5 oz height and length 2’ 3.5”

[@narobinson04]

Thank you for the tutorial! never thought to cut the ends for a different look. What measurements would you cut for a 2 year old who wears a 5t and how big should I make the elastic?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi very welcome, sorry for the late response. The measurements are in the description for you both elastic and length

[@stephaniealeman0123]

When you use an elastic band how do you get it to stretch to its potential? When i used an elastic i wasnt able stretch it out at all it was very stiff as if there was no elastic. Please help

[@kylajohnson6944]

Hi! The tutu is absolutely adorable, great job! May I ask where you purchased your stand?

[@MKTUTUS]

Kyla Johnson, aww thank you :) I purchased the stand on ebay. Its been over 2 yrs now so I will see if I can find the sellers info I got it from . it was around $35

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Do you use the glitter canvas for the shirts? If so, where could I buy it? I ordered some from punkglitter, I think! I don’t remember the exact name, but it smells like a kettle or rotten fish!!! Please and ty for your response 😀

[@kayleighcormack4608]

Hi, I have a question from Aberdeenshire Scotland 🙂 I currently have a business making tutus and costumes but only using tulle I’m making my first fabric tutu but when I cut my fabric it just seems to ‘shred’ like the thread is coming out etc is there a best way to cut fabric to stop this happening ? Thank you x

[@MKTUTUS]

Hello from California! thanks for watching. I would recommend using a rotary cutter. Ive noticed if my scissors aren't sharp enough it will cause the fabric to shred. I have also in the past sealed my ends with a lighter just like you would with ribbon. Just be sure to not let it touch the fabric as it will burn. Just a quick pass . Good luck with your business :)

[@sagasamok]

You could also try using scissors that cut in a zig zag

[@Jennifers_Channel]

I absolutely love it! So adorable.

[@LuisLopez-iq1xe]

Hello! the video is very helpful😃. how many yards of each one would I have to buy for a one-year-old girl?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi Glad i could helo ;) I bought 1/2 yard of each color for the tutorial & had a lot left over. If you go with 1/2 yard you can easily make 2 tutus out of it :)

[@flightattendantATM]

Is the length measured with the fabric folded?

[@ceciliavaldez8035]

Looks great love it! I want to make one for my 8yr old how much fabric would I need?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hello sorry for the late response, I would say at least 1 of each color depending on how many colors you are using.

[@BoricuaMomLife]

Super Cute!! 😍❤️❤️

[@chelseadonohoo9387]

Can you tell me what size (width) you buy for the elastic waistband ?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi I use 3/4 width elastic

[@thiccthigz77]

How much fabric would I need for a 18 month

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi, you can do 1/2 yard

[@kristastapleton4]

Do you have a sizing chart for the different lengths you use?

[@MKTUTUS]

HI thanks for watching, here is the measurements :) NB-3 months: 6 1/2" Length 14" Waist 3-6 months: 6 1/2" Length 15" Waist 6-12 months: 8" Length 17" Waist 12-24 months: 9" Length 18" Waist 2t-4t: 10" Length 19" Waist 5/6 girls 11” length 20” waist

[@delynnegomez5778]

Hi can the tutu be longer and loook the same way?

[@MKTUTUS]

the longer the tutu the less "poofy" it looks

[@marielouisekassi3012]

So lovely! What length would you recommend for a 6 years old?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi standard length for 6 yr. old would be 12' so remember to double that length when cutting, so you would cut 24'

[@colbie04]

Do you have written out instructions? I love your video but sometimes its easier to just read them, on top of watching 👀

[@ashleyjiggetts7290]

What measurement do you recommend for a 2 year old

[@Ilovejesus-95]

Where did you get the mannequin? And elastic

[@chynanotorious1325]

Hello how long is your cutting board?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hello i have the measurements on the description down below :) for this particular size (2-3t)its 9-10' in

[@delmekiablack3271]

How did you attach the elastic together?

[@MKTUTUS]

Hi I used my sewing machine to sew the ends together. You can use a needle & thread or ive seen people use glue, but recommend using thread as it will hold together better :) A simple back & fourth stitch will hold.

[@11wonderchild]

You can use those crochet headbands instead of elastic.

[@lillycollazo6414]

love it!! What kind of fabric do you use?

[@MKTUTUS]

HI I used sequin & 100% cotton on the other 2 colors

[@pinkolima]

I made it!

[@MKTUTUS]

Awesome!! Would love to see pics!

[@pinkolima]
