Thanks gals, you gals are sew kind. Yes we think the gd is adorable also. The tutu is quick and easy to make. For her size, she is 8 and maybe a little small for her age. I just measured her waist and cut a piece of elastic that would fit her waist. The elastic was maybe 1/2 to 3/4 wide. I cut the tulle 6 inches wide WOF. I left the tulle folded in half like it was when I cut it and then just put the loop around the elastic and pulled the ends through the loop and tightened it around the elastic. I think there was total of 10 yrds of tulle in that tutu. I have made some for little girls, like babys. They look so cute. For them I use the stretchy head bands out now, the ones that look like they have been crocheted. I cut the stripes the same way only I cut them in half length wise and then looped them through the holes in the head band. I will try and find a picture of one of the little ones.

TuTu for a Baby.
Here's the pic of the tutu I made for a baby girl with the stretchy head bands.
