My cousin asked me to add a tutu to a onesie that she has bought for her daughter's first birthday. I wanted to share how I did it with you in case anyone would like to see.
Then, tie on your pieces of tulle (I do double knots). I used this tutorial by Angie at Treasures for Tots for quick cutting.
Now, the tutu will stay in place no matter how much moving or pulling on it she does!

Love it! Where did she get the onesie?
ReplyDeleteVery cute!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely adorable!!! So quick and easy!!! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletevery cute ... but i must know... did you make the design on the oneise or did it come that way?
ReplyDeleteCassandra and Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where she got it from, but the label is "Miniwear". I did not make the print on the onesie, although, Samster Mommy has a tutorial for doing something similar with the necklace part (http://samstermommy.blogspot.com/2009/09/painted-jeweled-onesie.html).
This is so darling. Thank you for sharing. There is a little one at church that I want to make one of these for but never found a tutorial for doing so. You just made my day with this post. Love and look forward to each one.
ReplyDeleteSeriously genius Jessica. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! You must have so much fun making them.

What a great idea attaching the tutu to the onesie! I did a similar thing with tulle ruffles, but only across the backside. I love the idea of a full tutu.
ReplyDeleteHere's my version:

Thank you again for the cute tute and for linking my tute too!
Neat idea for a onesie tutu! I do mine a bit differently but its always nice to see some variations for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Cassandra & Nicole-
ReplyDeleteI've seen the onesie at Babies R' Us!
Is it machine washable?
ReplyDelete"Is it machine washable?"
ReplyDeleteYes, I recommend washing it on a gentle/handwashing cycle and air drying it though.
Can you tell me how to double knot the tulle? Also how long did you make each piece of tulle?
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't remember how long I made them, but I think it was 7 or 8? And to double knot is just tying a knot twice.
ReplyDeleteHow many yards of tulle do I need?
ReplyDelete"How many yards of tulle do I need?"
ReplyDeleteIt's really up to how full you want it and the size of the onesie. I used scraps for mine, but I would think 1 yard should be enough. If you want to add more colors, just get a smaller amount of a few colors. You could always try a certain amount and then if you felt like it needed more, add some.
Thank you so much for sharing! It is adorable & so easy!
ReplyDeleteI just finished making one for my daughter's first birthday! It was so easy, and it is super adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea, But how do you wash it?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous "But how do you wash it?!?"
ReplyDeleteThat's simple :) Just pretreat any stains on the onesie. Then wash it on a delicate cycle. Hang to dry.
genius and adorable!
ReplyDeleteadorable, but how do you cover the areas where you stitched?
ReplyDelete"but how do you cover the areas where you stitched?"
ReplyDeleteThe tulle is really puffy and covers it up as long as you knot on enough. You won't see it at all then :)
Wat size elastic did you use? 1/2"?
ReplyDelete"Wat size elastic did you use? 1/2"?"
ReplyDeleteI believe it was. I wouldn't use anything bigger than that for sure.
When I cut tulle for a tutu, I use pre-measured pieces of cardboard - 8", 9", 10" and so on (each one labeled). Then I wrap six inch wide pieces of tulle around the cardboard, kind of like wrapping cloth around a flat bolt. When I have enough (sometimes I count as I wind), I carefully cut each side at the end of the "bolt" or cut on one side to make double lengths. A rubber band can hold the tulle in place if it slips around too much. Thanks for the tutu idea - great!
ReplyDeleteAlso, does the tulle maintain it's stiffness when washed as suggested above?
I love this and posted my version with a link to your amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for this, my friend's little girl loved it! http://crazydazedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-girls-and-tutus.html
