How to Make a Tutu 8.6K Amazing Shares Facebook 556 Pin It Share 1.8K 1K+ Twitter 49 Google+ 25 StumbleUpon 6.1K Email -- Email to a friend 8.6K Amazing Shares × I have seen a lot of inquirers on how to make tutus, etc. so I brought over some information from my tulle site to share with y’all! Tutus are super easy and super fun to make. This is the one I made~ Make sure you scrunch your tulle together really well to have a really full tutu! To measure your waist, make sure you measure your model and then take off about 2-3 inches of elastic. On elastic size, that’s preference. To add to these instructions since it isn’t listed in a lot of places, 6 inch tulle works really well, not the big tulle you find on the bolts. Pre-measure your tulle out and have it all ready so you can basically go from start to finish. Where you did the sewing will be a little hard to close the last few pieces of tulle over the top. Tutu TIP: Instead of Elastic, you can use big satin ribbon and the just tie in a bow. Trisha
Pimp My Stoller We have HUGE doll stroller fans in our house, and I am not just talking about Evie. My boys love racing around the house with the strollers pretending they are transformers. When they are up they are cars, when they are folded down they are motorcycles and much to my dismay they are often folded and lifted and made to be missal launchers. This is usually okay with me because thanks to Grandma and a neighbors garage sale we now have a dolly stroller for each child hence no squabbling or at least minimized amounts. This weekend we had a tragedy though. One of the strollers seats ripped, pretty bad actually. I want Evie to love princesses as much as the next mommy but I also thought it would be fun for her “boutique” Bonjour Evette dolly to have a matching on e of a kind stroller. Evie was a fan… okay so she didn’t really notice a difference. But I am sure Evette felt good rollin’ in style Of course we had to stop every now and then to eat some rocks What you need 1/2 yard fabric Straight Pins

sewing tutorial | KIDS | crafts | handmade gifts | bread bags | fort kits | diy hang tags | saltwater-kids After receiving a few comments and emails with questions about the hot/cold packs I made for Halloween, I thought I would give you a quick rundown of the details. The tutorial for sewing and filling the packs can be found over at Rubber Punkin, so I am just going to share how I was able to get 24 packs from one yard of fabric. CUT:(24) 12" X 5" - from main fabric (see diagram below)(24) 6" loops - (I cut 1" strips from a t-shirt, stretched them out, and then cut the 6" lengths) Here is the layout for cutting 24 packs out of 42" wide fabric (you will have 4" left over along the 36" side) Check out the TUTORIAL for sewing and filling the packs HERE at Rubber Punkin. Thanks for stopping by!
The Rubber Punkin: Growing Like A Weed Heat Pack My son is going through a growth spurt. I remember when I would get growing pains as a child and how awful it was. Hot baths late at night, mentholatum lotion, but my favorite remedy was a nice warm heating pad. So, I needed to make some up for little J. But, I thought I would try to make them a bit more fun than a regular heating pad. 1. If you wanna get real fancy, you could even make different rice packs for different stuff. Lavender: good for leg cramps, anxiety, great for calming and can help with sleep.Wild Orange: good for colds, anxiety, flu, and to calm.Breathe: respiratory system problems, coughs, colds, asthma.DigestZen: Can help balance the digestive system, flu, stomach aches, gas, and colic. If you want to check out some of these oils, visit Melissa here. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Now, pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and sooth those aches and pains. I love comments... wink, wink.

Felt Letters for Clementine’s Room Yesterday I finished these felt letters for Clementine’s nursery. They had been sewn and stuffed months ago but I had this idea that they would all hang individually from the tension wire that holds up her curtains and then when I tried it and realized they would spin around and half of the letters would be backwards I gave up and for months there’s been a hanging “Cle” in her room with a backwards “e.” The solution ended up being a strand of clear thread which runs through the letters and is looped at the ends so it can hang from nails. I will freely admit that the idea for these letters was not mine. If you have a child with a sensible short-lettered name, you might yet decide you want to make your own set. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. You can see the stitches pretty clearly in the picture above. 6. 7. 8. And here are some other things I’ve made with felt for you to peruse should you feel so inclined:
The Daily B: fabric letters for the fridge Miles has been chewing on our plastic fridge magnets, and since they're all secondhand (read: old), I got a tad worried about phthalates and other toxins. So, I had the idea to make him some fabric magnets that he could gnaw on. THEN I thought, wouldn't it be cute to have a fabric alphabet?? I layered some felt in between scraps of my favorite fabrics and cut out the letters. Then, placed magnets (available at any craft store) in the middle of each one. Total cost: $4 for the magnets. I like the rough (shall we say shabby chic?) I only got to "J" before the kids woke up from their naps. Safety Note: Make sure the magnets you use are large enough that your kiddo can't choke on them, and stitch them completely inside the fabric.
