Tutu skirt made of tulle: master class step by step

The do-it-yourself tulle skirt that we invite you to sew with us is a classic sun-style tulle skirt . We are sewing a skirt for an adult, so the pattern and fabric consumption will be appropriate.

Please prepare everything for work:

• Fatin . For our model, 55 cm long, the material consumption will be as follows: 5 m of fabric, 3 m wide .
• Since the skirt is multi-layered (in our case 8 layers), it can be made without a lining. We will sew a skirt with a lining from a material selected exactly to match the tulle for the skirt.
• Cutting knife, thread , marking pencil, pins.
• Sewing machine.
• Iron, mannequin (for trying on).

Let's move on to the workshop on making a fluffy tulle skirt

1 step . To cut out the top and bottom layers, you should use 2 patterns, then your shoppenka skirt will look fuller. The 4 top layers will be gathered at the waist, so the radius is doubled.

Step 2 . We have already found out how much fabric is needed during preparation. Let's figure out how we will use it. We fold a three-meter piece of fabric twice lengthwise and get 4 layers with two folds - on one side. And with one fold and two cuts on the other.

Step 3 . We stitch (stitch) along the lower parts of the skirt, leaving allowances of up to 5 mm. We do not completely sew the second seam along the parts to leave a connector for the zipper (length 18cm).

Step 4 We fold the top 4 parts of the skirt together and sew a landing stitch with wide stitches . We tighten the stitches to the size of the waist circumference.

Step 5 Also fold the 4 lower parts of the skirt together, matching the seams. We pin the parts together and stitch them along the waist. We also sew 4 layers of zipper allowance.

Step 6 We sweep away the seam allowances for the zipper and go over them with a warm iron. We baste the zipper. Unzip it and sew the zipper into 4 layers of fabric .

Step 7 We connect 4 layers of lower with four upper layers of fabric at the waist.

Step 8 We throw and then go through a machine stitch.

Step 9 We cut the upper layers in the place where the zipper is sewn in.

Step 10 We fold the edges of the cut over the zipper and pin it.

Step 11 We sew by hand with a hidden seam.

Step 12 We make the lining using the half-sun model. We take the fabric to match the tulle. The radius of the part is equal to the waist circumference/3 .

Step 13 . We connect the lining parts, leaving a connector for the zipper. We smooth out the allowances or process the cuts.

Step 14 Place the lining on the skirt, back to back, and baste it, then sew it together at the waist.

Step 15 We prick the lining at a distance of 5 mm from the zipper teeth and hem it with secret stitches.

Step 16 To process the top section of the shoppenka skirt, we cut out a strip of lining, 10 cm wide, fold it in half and iron it.

Step 17 Sew the belt with two sections to the top of the skirt. On the left side of the zipper we leave 1 cm, on the right - 3 cm.

Step 18 . Iron the waistband up, fold it right sides together and stitch the ends.

Step 19 We turn the ends of the belt inside out and pin the fold from the inside of the skirt over the seam. We hem the fold of the belt from the inside out by hand or by machine.

Step 20 Sew hooks or buttons onto the ends of the belt.

21 steps . The finished shoppenka skirt must be allowed to hang, and then all layers of tulle should be trimmed at the same level .

Step 22 . The lining can be hemmed by machine.

Stage one: creating a belt and cutting the material

In order to make a belt, you need to do the following:

• wrap the elastic band around the child’s waist, slightly stretching the material;
• make a mark on the elastic band with a marker or chalk;
• step back a couple of centimeters from the mark made and cut the elastic;
• align the cut edge with the mark made during fitting and secure the position of the elastic;
• sew the ends of the elastic, it is optimal to do this with crosses, as in embroidery.

The belt is ready. You need to try it on to make sure that the baby is comfortable, and then you can start cutting the tulle.

The material should be cut into strips. The length of each strip folded in half is the length of the skirt. However, you need to cut the strips with a margin, because part of the length will be spent on attaching the material to the elastic band. As for the width, the larger the stripes, the more magnificent the finished skirt will be.

How to sew a tulle skirt: long model for girls

We told you how to sew a tulle skirt for an adult. And right now we want to demonstrate a master class on how to make a floor-length skirt for a girl .

You can also try this model on yourself. After all, light and airy tulle skirts suit almost everyone: a fluffy circle skirt looks beautiful on thin girls, strict midi suits girls with curves, and a long floor-length skirt suits absolutely everyone.

To sew a skirt you need to prepare:

• tulle;
• light fabric from which the petticoat will consist;
• elastic band for the belt.

Determining the size of the future product

1. We measure the length for the future skirt and petticoat from the waist line to the floor down. Fashion 2021 also offers skirts with a train; in addition, the petticoat can be of medium length, and the skirt itself can be maxi length.
2. In our case, the length of the skirt will be 60 cm. If you are planning to sew a similar item for yourself, then the basic female formula for calculating the length of a floor-length skirt is as follows: height * 0.62 .
3. Thus, after measuring the length, we can calculate the fabric consumption. Multiply the length by 3.
4. We will need 60 cm of fabric for the petticoat (assuming a length of 60) and 180 cm of tulle.

Let's move on to sewing

We can't do without sewing, so let's get started.

1. Cut the tulle into 3 equal parts.
2. Fold each piece of fabric in half , aligning the edges, and then sewing them together.
3. Fold 4 pieces of fabric one on top so that the seams match.

4. We place lining fabric inside the tulle layers .
5. The seams and bottom edges on the pieces must match. The seams will be located in the back of the product.
6. The top edge of the skirt must be sewn around the perimeter – there will be a belt in this place. For the seam we use light and large stitches, selecting threads of the appropriate color. If the skirt is pink, then the threads should match.

7. Break the upper part of the skirt into small pieces with pins (seam inward).
8. We measure the girl's waist and take the length of the elastic 4-5 cm shorter than the waist size.

9. Sew the edges of the elastic with a zigzag.
10. Straighten the folds on the skirt by pulling the bottom thread. Make sure the folds are neat and even.

11. We also place the elastic very carefully, hiding all the bumps and uneven seams behind the belt.
12. Sew the belt to the skirt, starting with the seam, which we made with a zigzag. As you work, stretch it a little so that it covers the entire width of the skirt.

13. Inspect the finished result, remove excess threads.
14. Enjoy your fitting!

What is tulle?

Tulle is a special fabric consisting of polyester threads that are tightly woven together. The stiffness of the fabric depends on the density of the weave. In general, tulle is a fabric of medium hardness. But now they make both soft and very hard tulle. Depending on the nature of the product, you should choose the fabric. If you need to sew a petticoat that will create pomp and define the shape of the skirt, then it is best to take hard tulle. If the product will be worn on a naked body, then you need to take a soft cloth.

Previously, only plain tulle was produced, and this fabric was rarely used for skirts. Nowadays there is a huge variety of tulle fabrics on the market. It can be multi-colored, decorated with rhinestones and sequins, and may even have a non-uniform texture and density.

This fabric is sold in cut pieces, up to 3 meters wide, or in narrow rolls.

Tulle is practical to wear: it hardly gets dirty, does not wrinkle, and can be washed in a washing machine.

The only downside is that tulle is a synthetic fabric and is not suitable for daily wear. Otherwise, itching, allergies or irritation may occur. This applies primarily to children.

Tulle skirt for girls without sewing

The heroine of our next master class will be a do-it-yourself tulle skirt for a girl. This lush attribute of a little princess has gained such popularity in 2021 that we simply cannot help but show how to make a tulle skirt with your own hands. This time we won’t need a sewing machine, because we will be making a skirt without a single seam .

Prepare for work:

• tulle;
• elastic band, 2-2.5 cm wide;
• satin ribbon, 5 cm wide;
• scissors, pins;
• centimeter;
• pencil or chalk.

Completing of the work:

1. We fold the tulle fabric into 10-15 layers and cut it into 60-70 strips , measuring 20 cm by 50 cm.
2. We take an elastic band based on the child’s waist circumference minus 4 cm and make a circle. We fasten the elastic band to the back or leg of the chair and begin tying the tulle strips.
3. Fold the strip in half , fix it around the elastic band and tie it with 2 knots. Do not tighten too much so that the elastic is not overtightened. Next, using the same pattern, we continue to tie other ribbons.
4. To make your tulle skirt look more neat and elegant, decorate it with a satin ribbon, which must be folded in half lengthwise and pulled through all the knots formed. The ribbon can be matched to the tone, or maybe in a contrasting color. For example, a red ribbon on a white skirt or a pink ribbon on a blue one.
5. To ensure that all tiers of the skirt are even , fold them into a puffy ponytail and trim them evenly.
