A few tips on how to choose tulle for a tutu skirt

The rigidity of tulle depends on the size of the cells; there is very hard tulle, medium hard tulle and soft tulle. If you want the skirt to keep its shape well, it is better to choose medium-hard tulle. If the skirt is supposed to be long and airy, soft tulle will do, in which case more fabric will be needed.

We will make the waistband of the skirt from elastic. In order to measure the required length, take a piece of elastic equal to the waist circumference, subtract 3-4 cm from it and add 1-1.5 cm to the connecting seam and sew the edges of the elastic. You won't need a needle and thread anymore!

The tutu skirt is made from tulle, cut into equal strips. To determine the required length, you need to multiply the length of the product by 2. The length of each strip is 20 cm, you will need about 50 of them. Tulle is a thin fabric, and you can cut the required number of strips by folding the fabric the required number of times and cutting it.
The fabric is ready, let's start assembling the product.

The loop must be tightened tightly until it stops, but without squeezing the elastic band of the belt.

Now you need to fill the entire elastic band with fabric:

The skirt is almost ready! There is very little left to do - trim the edges of the finished skirt, if necessary, and add decor.

You can decorate a finished tutu skirt in many ways – feel free to use your imagination! Use beads, satin ribbon bows, artificial flowers, and your skirt will become unique.

To make your tutu skirt serve you for a long time, follow simple rules caring for her.

If, during transportation somewhere or after storing folded in a closet, the skirt becomes wrinkled and loses its fluffiness, secure it on a hanger with clothespins and straighten each strip with your hands. Tulle is a synthetic fabric, and you can iron it with an iron and a steamer, but using the “synthetic” mode. Of course, ironing a tutu skirt with an iron will take quite a lot of time, so you can use another, more in a simple way smooth out a wrinkled skirt - hang it in the bathroom, turn on the hot water and let the room fill with steam, close the door tightly and leave the skirt there for 20 minutes, and then manually straighten the folds and let the fabric dry; you can do this by laying the skirt out on a horizontal surface.

You need to wash your tutu skirt by hand, in a warm soapy solution, rinse in clean warm water, and then in cool water, where it is advisable to add conditioner. After washing, do not wring out the skirt, let the water drain, and then shake and dry on a hanger, or straighten it on a horizontal surface.

What makes a children's skirt different from an adult's? Basic sewing rules

A do-it-yourself tulle skirt, a master class and a detailed process for making an adult product look like this:

1. On tracing paper you need to carefully draw a double semicircle. Both semicircles have a meaning: the first corresponds to the size of the waist circumference, and the second indicates the length of the future product.
2. The next stage is to carefully cut out the template with scissors.
3. Next, you need to fold the fabric so that you end up with 8 layers. This is done simply: first, the material is folded in half, then in four, and the last stage is 8 layers.
4. Use pins to secure the fabric along the edges of the gather.
5. Cut out the template.
6. The result should be 4 even circles with a hole inside. Place the resulting parts on top of each other and secure with needles or pins in the waist area: front, back and sides.
7. Connect the ends of the elastic band and sew them together.

Product assembly:

• Attach the fabric to inside elastic bands and sew on a machine along the entire radius.
• In a triangular shape, cut out tulle weaving for the cover.
• Be sure to finish the top edge of the product with a basting stitch and tighten the thread so that the tubular cover sits well on the waist.
• The bottom tulle layer is secured to the lining material. The excess that is visible from the hem needs to be trimmed off.

It’s even easier and faster to sew a children’s tulle skirt with your own hands.

A product master class for a little fashionista looks like this:

• Cut tulle ribbons 10 cm wide, maybe a little narrower. Their length should be 2 times longer than planned.
• Take a wide, thick elastic band and connect its edges.
• You need to tie ribbons folded in half to the rubber base. It is inconvenient to do this procedure while hanging, so it is better to pull the elastic band over the back of the chair.
• Attach the pieces of tape in a circle until all the free space is filled.

At this point, the technical process of sewing a classic tulle skirt is considered complete. If desired, the outfit can be decorated with various decorative elements.

Types of models

Thanks to the imagination and art of designers, tulle skirts began to have different cut variations. This allows you to wear them tailored different styles, combining with a variety of accessories.

Tulle tutu skirt

One of the options for sewing a tulle tutu skirt looks like this:

• Measure your waist size.
• Cut 3 pieces of tulle, the length of which will be equal to the desired length of the product, and the width will be equal to the waist diameter, taking into account allowances.
• Take a thick, wide elastic band with a length equal to the diameter of the waist, and sew its ends together.
• Sew each layer of tulle to the elastic in turn.
• To cover visible seams at the waistline, you need to carefully sew satin ribbon.
• As an additional decoration, you can sew trim to the edges of the product.

Romantic chopin skirt

A shoppen skirt can be called truly airy and light. The advantage is the length. You can sew a long skirt or a short one to the knees yourself. This product is sewn from thin tulle.

The cutting process consists of the following stages:

1. The first thing to do is sew the lining. It should be shorter than the main fabric and have a width that matches the size of the hips. Gather the top of the lining with thread. Initially, 1 m of fabric is taken.
2. A tulle piece of fabric having a length of 1.5 m and a width of 3 m must be folded in half, i.e. in half. The fold line must be stitched manually. Gather and baste to lining.
3. First, the belt is sewn to the skirt, and then the mesh fabric needs to be sewn onto the belt. To keep the product well at the waist, it is better to put on an elastic band.

Skirt with large ruffles

This option looks very feminine. Depending on the length, the style can be modified.

A miniskirt with frills will emphasize the slenderness of your legs, a pencil skirt with frills will draw attention to the beautiful contours of your hips.

To make such a model yourself, you need to decide on the length and take measurements of the waist and hips.

The scheme is as follows:

• Determine what the width of the frills will be. Divide the desired length by 3.
• Next you need to prepare the patterns. The rectangular top of the product should correspond to the circumference of the hips. But at the same time it is worth leaving a little margin for allowance.
• The next stage is cutting out the frill. The parts are triangular in shape, their size depends on the desired layering.
• Sew the finished patterns together. The edges must be processed.

Carrie Bradshaw's full skirt

Carrie Bradshaw's style is luxurious and combines romance and originality. All that is needed for such a model is satin fabric for the lining, tulle of the required length and a rubber base.

Satin fabric will need more bright color, for example, red. The second piece is white mesh fabric. The third segment is tulle, for example, Pink colour. The length of all segments is the same - 2 m.

Step by step workflow:

• All fabric pieces are overlapped one after another. Accordingly, the lining will be at the very bottom, and the tulle will be the top layer.
• We collect the upper edges on needles in the form of an accordion. This is how the folds necessary for pomp are formed.
• The needles are removed and a machine stitch is sewn. Anything that seems unnecessary is simply cut off with scissors.
• Next, measure the length of the elastic and cut as much as needed.
• Attach the top edge of the skirt to a wide elastic band. Sew the edges. The product is ready.

Long skirt with lining

Long tulle skirts with lining are ideal for tall girls, emphasizing their slimness. To sew such a skirt, you must first measure the length correctly. The belt is not taken into account. In addition, there should be a seam allowance of approximately 2 cm.

Important: thin tulle should be 5 cm longer than the lining fabric.

The prepared material must be basted to the belt. In this case, the basting should occur in such a way that neat and uniform folds are formed.

Skirt with elastic instead of a belt

Instead of a belt, you can use an elastic band. This option is done according to a simplified scheme and does not require much time.

Sewing process:

• For a good fit at the waist, you need to wear a wide, thick elastic band.
• Connect its ends using the stitching method. Pull it over the back of the chair.
• Take rolled tulle and cut it into strips of the required width.
• Each piece, folded in half, is tied to an elastic band in a circle.

All that remains is to fasten and stitch. The product is ready.

Tulle skirt with cover

A tulle skirt with a cover using a ready-made master class is incredibly easy to sew. Everything you need to know before you start independent work– this is the waist circumference and the desired length. For sewing you will need a wide elastic band, tulle itself, for the underskirt fabric - this is the cover.

To correctly calculate your waist circumference, you need to divide its size by 3.14. The result obtained is divided by 2.

For a cover you need to multiply your waist circumference by 1.5. The pattern details are drawn on tracing paper and then cut out.

Manufacturing process:

• Tulle is folded into 8 layers. A template is attached to it and cut out.
• The result is 4 circles with holes inside. They need to be basted to each other alternately in the area where the belt is located.
• The product is attached to an elastic band using pins. Then zigzag seam rushes towards her.
• Two pieces of fabric for the cover are sewn together on the sides. A stitch is made along the upper edge of the cover, which is then pulled together to a size equal to the waist radius.
• The resulting underskirt is sewn to a rubber base. The product is ready.

Tutu skirt with satin ribbons

The tutu skirt looks very good on both adults and children.

It's very easy to do it yourself:

• To achieve the necessary pomp, you need to take an elastic band at least 2 cm wide and a length comparable to your waist circumference.
• Strips of the desired width are cut from tulle, for example, 15 cm. The length should be twice the original.
• The ends of the elastic are sewn together. The resulting rubber ring is put on the chair. Next, the process is already familiar - tying strips in a circle.
• The next step is to prepare pieces of satin ribbon equal to the width of the tulle pieces. Using a sewing machine, sew each ribbon onto a tulle strip.

Tutu Skirt with Sharp Edges

The tutu skirt is sewn in exactly the same way as classic version made of tulle with smooth edges. The only difference here is the cutting of the tulle pieces. If in the standard version they are cut straight, then in this case the process occurs at an angle.

Next comes the assembly of the model in any convenient way: the segments are tied with an elastic band or sewn together on a belt.

Organza layered skirt

To sew such a skirt, you need to follow these steps:

• Take 4 pieces of tulle of the required size.
• Sew each section along the top edge.
• Tighten the remaining tip of the thread so that you get a small “accordion”.
• You need to pull the thread until the length of the upper edge is equal to the waist circumference. Only after this can you trim off the excess, after tying knots at the edges of the threads. Do this manipulation with each tulle segment.

The next stage is working with pieces of organza (there should be 5 pieces). We do the same as with the tulle pieces.

Next, you need to put the organza on the first tulle layer and carefully baste it under the stitching. To close all the seams, you should prepare a piece of satin ribbon for the belt, iron it and stitch it to the product.

In the future, it can be beautifully tied into a bow.

Wedding tulle skirt

A tulle skirt is also appropriate for wedding dress.

You can do it yourself, following the master class:

• Sew a satin lining base.
• On the lining, make marks with a pencil in the form of dots arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
• Cut out squares from tulle. Their sides should be equal, for example 16 by 16 cm. The number of squares will affect the splendor.
• Each square will need to be taken at any corner and sewn to the intended points. The end result will be a very full skirt.

After all these manipulations, the product must be attached to a rubber base. The work is completed.

American skirt

An elegant full American skirt is sewn from three parts - rectangles of chiffon, tulle and satin.

For example, consider an option that is suitable for a little girl:

• The first chiffon rectangle will have a height of 20 cm and a length of 120 cm, the second and third will be 11 cm each. But the length of the third is 3 cm greater than the second.
• Ruffles are made of tulle, their width will be no more than 7 cm.
• Chiffon rectangles are processed along the edges.
• The tulle ribbon must be sewn on a machine and pulled together to create beautiful ruffles.
• After this, you need to sew the resulting ruffle to the bottom edge of the chiffon fabric. There will be 2 such blanks. This is how the first tier is obtained.
• Next is work with the yoke. Need to be formed from satin fabric pipe and sew it together. Iron the seam on one side. The result is an element into which the elastic band will be threaded.
• A second tier of chiffon with tulle is sewn to the edge of the yoke. The next tier of fabric is sewn a little lower.
• An elastic band is inserted into the satin tube and everything is sewn together.

Seamless pattern

For this model you will need rolled tulle, which must be cut into equal strips. Each strip is folded in half and tied to the tape using a knotted method.

The closer the knots are to each other, the more fluffy the resulting skirt will be. All that remains is to tie the ends of the ribbon.

Skirt with train

The peculiarity of this model is that the main skirt is sewn separately from the train.

The train itself should be made of soft and thin tulle, while the rest of the details should be made of hard.

The main tulle skirt is made in this way:

• Pieces of tulle of equal length are tied to an elastic band.
• The same length should be maintained at the front of the product and at the sides.
• The remaining free space, i.e. the back side will be filled with pieces of tulle that are twice as long as the main one.

Striped skirt without sewing

You don’t have to know how to sew to make yourself or your daughter a beautiful, elegant item.

Making a skirt without sewing looks like this:

• Tulle strips are attached to a baby headband (you can buy a ready-made one in the store). The convenience of the headbands lies in the fact that they stretch well and at the same time have a mesh structure that allows you to tie the tulle evenly in a circle.
• There can be many rows, since the width of the bandage allows you to choose the number of tiers.

This model can be made in an hour if you prepare the necessary materials in advance.

To create such a model you need:

1. Purchase a hoop or ring from a specialized sewing store to secure the future product.
2. Take about eight meters of tulle fabric, cut it into five equal pieces.

So, to sew a tulle skirt with an elastic band yourself, you need:

• cut three or more pieces of mesh fabric, gather them, sew them;
• measure the required length of the elastic band, which should be 2-3 centimeters larger than the waist circumference;
• sew the ends of the elastic, for this it is best to use a zigzag stitch;

1. Uncover the layers.
2. Connect all the resulting layers together. In this case, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the required order.
3. Gather the fabrics into an accordion.
4. Sew a satin ribbon or wide elastic band to the skirt.

Model - sun

2. On a sheet of thick paper, make a pattern that will consist of two arcs of different radii. The resulting smaller semicircle will be the waist radius, and the larger one will be the length of the skirt.
3. The cut out pattern is applied to tulle, pre-folded in several layers. Then it is outlined with a special felt-tip pen and cut out. After performing these steps, you should get two round tulle shapes with a hole.
4. The pieces are folded and fastened using stitches or tailor's pins.
5. The length of the elastic is measured, its ends are sewn together, and then it is sewn directly to the inside of the product itself.

The circle skirt should have a lining, which, together with the tulle, is sewn to the belt. To prevent the petticoat from being visible, its length should be 5-7 centimeters shorter than the tulle. As for the color of the lining, it can be neutral or match the color of the skirt itself.

A properly sewn circle skirt should have no seams.
