There’s nothing kids love more than dressing up, so why not craft your little one a special outfit as a Christmas treat? Made from layers of coloured netting this tutu is perfect for girlie girls. It can be made for ages 18-24 months and 3-4 years and includes a customised top and jingle bell wand.
Stitch a tutu
Cut a 40cm x 110cm (44cm x 114cm) piece of white netting. Sew the two shortest ends together to make a tube then fold the tube over on itself to create two layers of netting. Pin into place then stitch a line 2cm from the folded edge to make a channel for the elastic. Leave a 4cm gap in the seam for threading the elastic through.
Cut another piece of white netting, 36cm x 110cm (40cm x 114cm) and sew the short ends together. Fold over to make two layers with the seam on the inside. Pin and tack just underneath the waistband, matching up the seams. Repeat this with a 32cm x 110cm (36cm x 114cm) piece of green netting and two pieces of bright pink netting measuring 28cm x 110cm (32cm x 114cm). All the layers should be pinned then tacked together with the main skirt. Machine stitch all the way around.
Cut 150cm (154cm) of pale pink ribbon and pin this along the machine stitching, leaving equal lengths at either end. Position it to cover the stitches
