For my daughter I cut one of my tulle layers 40” long x 24” inches tall and the other 40” long x 22” inches tall. In addition, one layer of tulle will be longer than the other and we won’t need to hem these layers. So use the Onstage Tutu pattern measurements for the tulle but double the length. I used two layers of tulle folded in half so they could hold pom poms. To make my pom pom version you will need to cut your tulle slightly differently. To get started use the Onstage Tutu instructions to figure out the length and width for your solid fabric. It’s such a great pattern and it’s free! It doesn’t get much better than that! So, I decided to create my own! My sewing skills have improved dramatically since I saw a similar skirt years ago, but I could not have done this without using the Onstage Tutu Skirt as a reference. A week or so I saw it floating around Pinterest again, but a quick search revealed that a decent tutorial still didn’t exist. Plus the skirt wasn’t even lined! A see-through pom pom skirt just wasn’t going to do it for me and at the time I didn’t have the skills to figure out how to make one on my own. You can imagine my disappointment when I clicked on the link and it took me to a blog in Dutch with a rather unspecific tutorial. I’ve loved this skirt ever since I first saw it on Pinterest years ago. Thanks Anne for stopping by to share your tutorial! She’s going to share how she made this fun pom pom skirt. Also be sure to take a look at her blog I’d Rather be Sewing and her Flickr account to see her fabulous sewing. Her fantastic work has been featured on the blog in the past here and here. Are you looking for a fun back-to-school sewing project? Well, we’ve got one for you today. It’s hard to believe it is almost September. My summer has been going by faster than a New York minute! Hey there! How has your summer been treating you? Good, I hope.
