Tulle Petticoat Tutorial

October is a busy month for me! I have two birthday parties and a bridal shower to host. I have several different projects underway for each event. Elsie's birthday outfit is first and this petticoat was actually going to go under the first skirt I made, but I decided that it was too cute to go under a skirt.

DIY Maxi Dress Tutorial

I've seen these tutorials all over Pinterest. I followed this tutorial when I did my first dress with my friend Amy. We took out the tied sash and sewed the sash to the dress and added buttons. We also added some ruffles to the tank to add a little flair. After doing hers, I made some changes to how I'd like to make mine and I am thrilled with the results. This is a pretty easy dress and can be done in a couple hours. Pinning the tank to the skirt was a little tricky without a helper to pin it for me, but otherwise it was a piece of cake.
