So, how would you like to make this FAB tutu? It’s a very easy make with NO SEWING involved at all!

For this one (for our 3 and a half year old) I used 1.5m orange ribbon and 2m of gold Tulle.

Using nice sharp scissors cut your tulle into 2″ strips. I then cut these in half, this part depends on the width of your tulle and how tall your small person is. Hattie is a little cutey and this tutu is going over a pair of leggins for a party at the weekend. I made it shorter so I could make it fuller.

Fold your strip in half…

Fold the loopy end over the ribbon and pull the ends through to make a slip knot

Pull tight and carry on with the next strip!

Carry on until you have enough strips to go around your little ones waist.

Tie in a pretty bow and let them run wild!

Well, I’ve spent the afternoon making a peg bag tutorial. If you CLICK HERE it should take you to the pdf with the template for the pants and the list of things you’ll need. I took lots of photos so thought it best to have the tutorial on flickr so you can get a good look at what I did. Just CLICK HERE to be taken to the set and then get making! Hopefully the instructions make sense but let me know if they don’t! I’ve also set up a flickr group where you can share your pants peg bags!

Please only make peg bags from this pattern for pesonnal use. I’ll be very sad if you try to sell them
