I'm a Material Girl

Here's my favorite of Amber's presents.....her husband, Rand, is in a band so I had to make a little girlie rocker outfit!

For the tutu I used:

a spool of tulle(I think it was 15ft or something, but I got 2 of them out of one spool). It's found in the ribbon section at Hobby Lobby.

1/2" elastic

I measured the onseie to see how wide the waist was and then cut and sewed the elastic accordingly (if I were to do it again, I'd probably shorten the width just a tad because it seemed to stretch as I added the tulle).

Then, I wrapped the tulle around a piece of cardboard that was 6.5" long. After I got the whole roll on it, I cut one end...leaving me with 13" stips.

I folded each strip in half (raw edges matching so that I didn't have to trim too much when I was finished) and made a simple slip knot.

Keep going around the entire elastic band and viola~~tutu!

For the onseie:

fabric

print out of a guitar

wonder under

Following instructions for the wonder under, iron on a square that's just bigger than the guitar picture. Pin the print out on the fabric and cut it out. Iron guitar onto onesie (along with a little rectangle snippet for added detail).

Sew around the guitar for a little extra staying power.

For the hair bow:

extra guitar fabric

button

extra tulle

black thread

little metal hair clip

hot glue gun

I cut a 18" long by 3"-ish strip of fabric, folded it in half and did a long basting stitch along the raw edges.

Pull the thread to bunch the fabric up into a "flower"

Repeat with a smaller section of tulle

Hot glue pieces together and add a button to hide the middle bunchiness :)

And then go a bit crazy with the other leftover scraps you have!

Enjoy making your own little material girl into a baby rocker!
