Cuddles*n*Chaos: Removable Fairy wings singlet Tutorial

I was doing this tutorial for a friend so i figured i may as well share it with everyone.

You will need-

2 pieces of tulle cut into ovals one slightly smaller than the other, i cut mine about 30cm long and about 20cm high (12" by 8") You can add more layers if you like
1 singlet, onesie, t-shirt, what ever you would like to put the wings on really
approx 10cm of 2.5cm wide ribbon (4" of one" wide ribbon)
a 2.5x2.5cm (1"x1") piece of both hook and loop (touch tape, Velcro etc)

*Your ribbon and hook and loop don't need to be exactly these widths as long as they are both the same width or the ribbon is a little wider than the hook and loop.*


Lay the smaller piece of tulle on top of the larger one and mark the center at the top and bottom


set your machine to do a really long straight stitch and sew 1 line ether side of your center marking

Place a pin at the top and bottom of your stitching

At one end twist your thread tails around the pin securing them in place


at the other end get hold of the top thread on both sides and begin to push the tulle backwards towards your anchored threads, it will start to gather, keep sliding the tulle along the threads till it is about 1 1/2" wide through the middle.


Twist the tails at this end around the other pin to keep gathering in place


Now you can remove the pins and wrap your ribbon around the gathering (back is shown) fold the raw edge of the ribbon under to prevent fraying. Once pinned you can pull out your gathering threads gently by pulling one thread all the way out at a time.

Set your machine back to a normal length stitch (about 2.5) and sew your ribbon to your tulle, sew a rectangle around all edges to keep it nice and secure.
