How to Make a Tutu Seminar.
Leading Designers in the Industry.

See new section on "Fabric and Trim Resources" above with more to come on closures, stays and horsehair resources. I will continue to add images of the stores as time permits. The NYC stores have images currently.

This is a FREE site. You see no advertisements here. I have provided this service for ten years and faithfully answered all emails.

Calling all readers. Please help me to build the largest resource of FREE tutu materials and instruction materials there exists.

Parents of dancers, who pay for dance lessons and all the associated costs are often without resources for expensive patterns and instruction books.

I am asking you to help me build a site of free information for readers. Please contact me if you can share your patterns, your tips, your instructions.

Put a STOP to overpriced second rate instructions for sale on the internet.

I agree with Creative Commons: Information Wants to BE FREE.

I offer this site with no advertisement. Your help to stop over priced -- under valued sale of tutu construction information would be appreciated.

Make a duct tape waist band and then duct tape on the the skirt. Buy one square of red and white polka dot fabric. If it is 45 inches wide -- buy 45 inches long.

Fold the fabric into fourths and cut in a circle. Duct Tape Minnie Mouse Costume

I measure from the corner, draw my circle and cut. Cut the waist. Measure 4 inches across for a start and work from there!

After you snip out the corner snip out a circle for your waist.

Remember --- even a tiny trim will make a huge difference in the waist.

Save the extra fabric for the hair bow. Ears are made with duct tape.

Cut the ears from a manilla file folder.

Cut two slits from the bottom of the ear to make the ear curve.

Cover the slits with more duct tape.

It is so much easier to tape the ears first and then cut the slits and tape the curve ear together.
