Hey there! How has your summer been treating you? Good, I hope. My summer has been going by faster than a New York minute!<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe it is almost September. Are you looking for a fun back-to-school sewing project? Well, we\u2019ve got one for you today.<\/em><\/p>\n

Please welcome Anne. Her fantastic work has been featured on the blog in the past here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Also be sure to take a look at her blog I\u2019d Rather be Sewing<\/a> and her Flickr account<\/a> to see her fabulous sewing. She\u2019s going to share how she made this fun pom pom skirt. Thanks Anne for stopping by to share your tutorial!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Pom<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve loved this skirt ever since I first saw it on Pinterest years ago. 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. 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. A week or so I saw it floating around Pinterest again, but a quick search revealed that a decent tutorial still didn\u2019t exist. 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<\/a> as a reference. It\u2019s such a great pattern and it\u2019s free! It doesn\u2019t get much better than that!<\/p>\n

To get started use the Onstage Tutu instructions to figure out the length and width for your solid fabric. To make my pom pom version you will need to cut your tulle slightly differently.<\/p>\n

I used two layers of tulle folded in half so they could hold pom poms. So use the Onstage Tutu pattern measurements for the tulle but double the length. In addition, one layer of tulle will be longer than the other and we won\u2019t need to hem these layers. For my daughter I cut one of my tulle layers 40\u201d long x 24\u201d inches tall and the other 40\u201d long x 22\u201d inches tall.<\/p>\n
