3 Steps To Make A No-Sew-Tutu
Esther-Irene Egan

Halloween is tonight and your friends made last minute plans! You have to quickly scramble for an outfit and have lost all hope at being unique. Well, fear not!

A great quick idea is to make a no-sew tutu. The tutu is very versatile and can add a bit of glam to a dull outfit.

1) Find your fabric and measure

If there is not a fabric store near you then find a Walmart. They have a pretty good selection.

The fabric should be at least two yards. The tutu in the pictures are the results of using only two yard pieces. If you want a longer tutu then add a couple more yards.

You will also need a ribbon to tie the fabric to. Measure the ribbon around your waist and add five inches to it. The extra length will be what you use to tie the skirt on.

2) Cut the fabric

Cut the fabric into one-inch strips. Doubling up on strips gives the tutu a fuller look.

3) Tie pieces onto ribbon

You can add trinkets to the skirt or leave as is. It is fun to create and you can guarantee no one will have an exact replica of your tutu.

The process took me about three hours to cut out fabric and tie it onto the skirt. I did go back and add glitter to it, because who doesn't love a little sparkle for Halloween. Go out and enjoy the night in something you created!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
