 I will share how to make a TuTu fabric baby Skirt.
First cut a strip of fabric 9" x the width of fabric around 44", cut the side of fabric in half to make two pieces.

put right sides together, with outsides showing.

Sew side seams, then finish seams.


Finish top and bottom of the skirt edges, on the top make a 1" casing, sew the casing leaving a 2" opening for elastic. 

Next insert a 17" piece of elastic inside the casing, sew the ends of elastic together when you make the full circle of the casing on the skirt.


Sew the opening closed,


Put a shirt tail hem in the bottom.
