Materials for production

The original material for the American skirt is 15 den knitted nylon chiffon. It is soft and holds its shape well. The width of American chiffon is only 20 cm; due to its properties, it is best suited for making skirts for little princesses.

It holds its shape well, but is also soft and non-prickly. It is difficult to find such fabric of a different width on sale, but it can be replaced with regular tulle. Thin or medium density material is suitable for tutu.

Tulle, which has long been used in elegant and wedding fashion, has a number of suitable properties:

• The cut edge of the material does not need to be edged or overcast. It looks beautiful without any processing.
• The product is easy to care for, tulle does not wrinkle or stretch;
• different material densities. Using one pattern you can get skirts of different sizes. The most “standing” tutus are made from hard tulle, but they require a lining. The cut edge is quite prickly;

The best fabrics for sewing a tutu skirt are nylon chiffon and tulle.

• the material has a mesh structure, and products made from it look light and airy;
• The material is available in different colors and shades. Easy to color coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe. Models knitted from strips of different colors turn out to be beautiful and unusual;

A piece of thick elastic band 2-3.5 cm wide is prepared as a belt for a future new thing. The color of the base of the belt can be matched to the tone of the skirt, but even a white elastic ribbon under the tulle will be invisible. The elastic band can be replaced with a belt made of satin ribbon; its length is equal to the waist circumference plus an allowance of 0.5-1 m to tie a beautiful bow.

For this work you will need sharp tailor's scissors. The professional tool has a different shape and size - 11 or 12 inches, with large rings for easy grip with your fingers.

What to wear with a tutu skirt in spring and autumn

When it’s still cool outside, but you want to make your look light and summery, you should wear a full tutu skirt. A combination of such a skirt with a thin angora sweater of the same tone would be ideal. It is worth noting that this option is suitable only for slender girls with a thin waist.

The tutu also goes well with jackets of different lengths - you can choose a model made of thick wool, the tone of which will contrast with the tone of the skirt itself. A bright long scarf will complete the look.

In the cool season, it is recommended to combine a tutu skirt with leggings, leggings and even skinny jeans.

In spring, a tutu skirt can be worn with a trench coat, which never goes out of style. It can be the same length as the skirt, or be slightly shorter. A stylish hat or beret will complete the look. Shoes can be different - you can choose high-heeled shoes, ballet flats, boots and ankle boots.

How to calculate the amount of fabric

For a short fluffy skirt for a girl 5-8 years old you will need 50 pcs. strips 20 cm wide and 50 cm long. The cut of the blanks is laid in 3-4 m of tulle, with a material width of 1.5 m.

If the fabric width is 3 m, the required quantity is divided in half. As the length and size increase, the number of stripes and their length increases. For a model with a train, some of the stripes will be 1.5 times longer.

General recommendations for creating a tutu skirt

The tutu skirt model primarily refers to elegant clothing. The combination of colors in the set should be festive and harmonious.

DIY tulle tutu skirt without sewing

A DIY tutu skirt for a girl will require a minimum of materials:

• medium-density tulle of a suitable color or different shades if the model is intended to be colored;
• elastic band for a belt with a length of waist circumference minus 2 cm;
• elastic thread, suitable color;
• safety pins;
• tailor's scissors.

When all the necessary materials are ready, the model has been selected, and the measurements have been taken, you can begin making the creation. All steps must be performed in a certain sequence, then you will not have to go back and redo incorrectly performed operations.

The sequence of making a tutu skirt without sewing:

1. First, the strips are cut out - the main blanks for making the skirt.
2. The elastic belt is secured with a safety pin, for example, to the narrow back of a chair.
3. The blank strip is thrown over the elastic band. The ends of the strip are equalized below. Using an elastic band, the first strip of tulle is tied strictly under the elastic.
4. A second piece of tulle is put on the elastic belt; similarly to the first, it is tied with the same elastic thread. The connection of the strips with each other resembles a “back needle” seam.
5. When the last piece is tied, you can connect the ends of the elastic band together.
6. The bottom of the skirt is trimmed with tailor's scissors.

Note: A tulle product with a bottom in which each side of the blank strip is cut at an angle looks impressive.

Stripes on a wide elastic band can be attached differently:

1. A piece of tulle is placed over the prepared wide elastic band.
2. The bottom of both halves is equalized.
3. The strip is tied with a knot in such a way that a tight loop is formed, but the elastic is not deformed.
4. A second knot is tied and pulled tightly under the first.
5. The remaining strips are secured in the same way.
6. The production of tutu is completed by trimming the bottom with scissors.

If the skirt is full, there is not much difference in how the stripes are attached. A series of tied knots at the waist are easily hidden behind a tulle “cloud”.

Master class No. 1: seamless tutu

This is a very simple model made of tulle or rigid mesh tulle.

You will need about 6 m of fabric and a regular elastic band.

1. Measure the waist circumference of the person for whom you are sewing a tutu. Cut a piece of elastic to the appropriate length + 2 cm for overlapping stitching.

2. Sew the ends of the elastic.

3. Decide on the length of the skirt, multiply it by 2 and add 5-7 cm.

4. Cut tulle or tulle into strips, the length of which corresponds to the obtained value (see step 3). The width of the stripes can be any to your taste, but the wider they are, the fuller the skirt will be.

5. Take two strips of fabric and tie them around the elastic as follows: - one simple knot

- another simple knot

Don't pull the knots too tight or the elastic won't stretch.

6. Place both ends of the fabric down.

7. Repeat steps 5-6 with the remaining strips until you have covered all the elastic.

If, in your opinion, the skirt does not have enough volume, tie additional ribbons under the first layer of fabric, right at the knots, then you will get a very fluffy model.

Decorate the pack with ribbons or other decorative elements:

You can decorate the skirt with pieces of tulle in a contrasting color:

Perhaps a video tutorial on how to make a skirt using the method described above will help you understand better:

Tulle tutu skirt with train

A skirt with a long or short train looks very impressive; to make it you will need medium-hard tulle, an elastic band that can support the weight of the skirt, and a sewing machine with a straight stitch.

Step-by-step production:

• Strips of length 60,80,100,120,140 cm are prepared from tulle 3 m wide in 4 layers.
• A 60 cm long strip is the front part. 140 cm – rear panel. The rest are cut in half, respectively, rectangles are obtained with a length of 80, 100, 120 cm and a width of 150 cm. They are located in ascending order on the side parts of the product.

To sew a tutu skirt with a train, strips of tulle of different lengths are used.

• The parts are sewn together with an overlapping seam using mono-thread or thin fishing line. In one of the seams, an unsewn area of ​​3 cm is left in the middle for threading the elastic.
• At the bottom of both layers, the assembled parts of the skirt, a rigid satin ribbon or any other elastic finishing tape is sewn, for example, a crossbar with a beautiful finish 2.5-3 cm wide. This treatment will give the product a shape and serve as a decoration for the bottom of the full skirt.

Note: Bias tape is not the best option. It will complicate the processing of the skirt and will not be as impressive due to its small width when finished. Also a bad choice would be a soft satin ribbon, especially one sewn onto hard tulle.

• The finished skirt is folded so that its top layer is shorter than the bottom layer by the width of the finishing strip. The fold is stitched to the width of the elastic.
• Using a safety pin, an elastic band is threaded through the unstitched area of ​​the seam, and the edges are firmly sewn down using a sewing machine.

The skirt is ready for the young lady to go out. The model is spectacular and can be combined with a stretch top and a full hairstyle.

1. The fabric is cut into five strips of 0.4x1.5 m.
2. Pieces of material are ground together, all cuts are overcast.
3. The skirt blank is bent in half. An elastic band is placed inside the fold with a knot tied at one end.
4. The stitch is sewn in such a way that the elastic is inside a tight drawstring; a knot tied at the end will not allow the elastic to slip inside.
5. The top fold is stitched along the entire length of the skirt, the fabric gradually moves relative to the elastic so that at the end there remains a free section of the base of the belt, sufficient for convenient stitching.
6. The elastic band is connected and hidden in the drawstring.

A skirt is the best choice as an outfit for little ones. It holds its shape well and is an easy model to make.

Tutu skirt with satin ribbon

The tutu model for primary school age can be sewn with satin ribbon trim. The beautiful bottom will move with the child, attracting everyone's attention and giving a lot of positive emotions.

The skirt, sewn from fabric of the same color, is finished with a solid ribbon. If multi-colored stripes were used in production, the bottom is processed with multi-colored pieces of tape.

For the first option, a skirt with large frills is used. The tape is sewn to the outer layer or to both layers. A longer underskirt and a slightly shorter upper skirt look nice. The difference in length is achieved by different widths of ribbons or cuts.

Tutu without sewing from multi-colored stripes is decorated in this way:

1. Ribbon blanks are prepared according to the number of multi-colored stripes;

Note: The edges of the ribbons are melted over a candle flame or cut using hot scissors.

1. after leveling the bottom of the skirt, pieces of ribbon are sewn with an overlay seam to the narrow part of the skirt stripes;
2. The edges of the ribbons remain open or are sewn inside out and turned inside out. Can be fastened by hand with a couple of stitches.

As a result of this processing, spectacular waves or rings of satin ribbon are obtained at the bottom. In dynamics, such a thing is even more beautiful.

Seamless tulle tutu skirt

It is better to sew a tutu for a young girl from tulle. It’s easy to cut, the main thing is to calculate everything correctly in advance. The pattern is a large circle, the diameter is equal to two lengths of the skirt plus the diameter of the waistline.

To calculate the inner circumference, the waist circumference is multiplied by 1.5. The resulting circumference divided by 3.14 is equal to the diameter of the circle cut out for the waist.

On sale you can find fabric 3 m wide; the pattern can be laid into this width without seams. If the fabric is very see-through, you can add a layer of lining to the product. The lining fabric should be the right color or give a translucent item an additional tint.

The belt at the waist can be with an elastic band threaded through a drawstring made from the top layers and lining. To emphasize the thin waist, a double wide belt is sewn along the top and a zipper is fastened.

Patchwork mesh skirt

A large mesh with a mesh size of 2 cm or more is suitable as the basis of the skirt. The flaps are cut from thin tulle 10-15 cm wide and 50-150 cm long, depending on the size of the future product.

Note: chiffon and thin organza are suitable for making. Synthetic materials are cut with hot scissors. With this preparation, the edge is melted, the processing is gentle, and the skirt is airy.

Stages of making an unusual skirt:

1. The base of the skirt is cut out from the mesh. For ease of work, the workpiece is placed on a mannequin.
2. Depending on the size of the cell and the desired effect, stripes are threaded through all cells or through one.
3. The strip is fixed when the center of the workpiece coincides with the cell, and a knot is tied.
4. The belt of the product is made of strip fabric.

A patchwork skirt can be of different lengths: with a train or asymmetrical. Stripes of the same color or from a selection of nuances of the same color.

How to sew a tutu skirt yourself?

Option #1

The method provided in this option tells how to sew a tutu skirt without the use of a sewing machine.

In order to make a tutu of tulle or mesh for a girl, you will need:

1. A certain amount of material or mesh, depending on the size of the skirt. Tulle can be used in one color or several different ones.
2. Strong elastic band, 10 centimeters wide.
3. Satin ribbon, matching the color of the tulle used. The width of the tape should be the same as the selected elastic band.
4. Needles and threads of the same color as the satin ribbon, as well as scissors.

Procedure:

1. The first step is to cut the material used into strips. The width of the stripes is 15-20 centimeters, and the length depends on the height of the girl for whom we are making the model. An adult girl will need 90-120 of these strips, and a little girl will need only 50-60.
2. The following is according to plan: cut off the required amount of elastic and sew the ends together.
3. Next, you need to pull the elastic band onto something like the back of a chair and move on to the stage of fixing the tulle strips to the belt.
4. Tulle strips should be taken exactly in the middle and tied with elastic bands using a regular knot. To prevent the skirt from being too fluffy, you need to secure them, that is, tie a loop knot. But do not overtighten the rubber band, the knot should be loose.
5. If the softness of the elastic makes it difficult to tie a knot, place a ruler on the elastic. After the required number of knots have been tied, carefully pull out the ruler.
6. All tied strips should lie tightly to each other.
7. We tie all the cut strips with an elastic band; if necessary, you can add stripes. If some strips are of different lengths, you can trim them with scissors.
8. When the stripes are finished, decorate the belt with your chosen satin ribbon. We tie a bow with an elastic band and sew it in several places with a needle.

The model is ready! All that remains is to correct it, and you can measure it.

Option No. 2

Before sewing a product, you need to prepare everything you need for it. And here's what you'll need:

• a certain amount of tulle, depending on the size of the skirt.
• strong rubber band, 5 centimeters wide.
• threads of the same color as the main fabric.
• needles and scissors.
• lining material if necessary.

Course of action. The very first thing to do is cut off the required amount of elastic and sew the ends together using a sewing machine. It is best to do this with a zigzag seam in two places.

We cut the fabric into strips of equal width, approximately 20-30 centimeters. The length of the stripes should be the same as the expected length of the skirt. There can be any number of stripes; the more there are, the more magnificent the model will be.

Next, we sew each strip of tulle to the elastic band in turn, while collecting folds. Stretch the elastic as you sew the fabric.

The stripes are sewn from the bottom edge of the elastic. After we have completed the first level, we move on to the second, which will be on top of the first and so on. The skirt can have up to seven levels, but it depends on how much fullness you want to achieve.

If you decide that the skirt should have a lining, then take the lining fabric and measure it. The lining should be 5 centimeters shorter than the skirt.

After this, we sew the ends of the lining together. If the lining consists of two parts, then we sew it on both sides. We process the edges of the lining with an overlock stitch. We sew over the lining and elastic, and then sew on the petticoat. The last step left is to steam the skirt.

Option No. 3 (Tutu)

Sewing a model for ballet is not difficult. To do this, we select the same materials that were given above, only we add a white dense mesh and threads of the same color.

Course of action. Cut off the required amount of elastic and sew the ends together.

We cut the mesh into equal strips 15-20 centimeters wide. If you can’t find a dense mesh in the store, you can starch an ordinary soft mesh.

After cutting the mesh, we sew it to the elastic band, each strip in turn, while collecting the folds. Stretch the elastic while sewing on the fabric.

The strips need to be sewn on from the bottom edge of the elastic. After we have completed the first level, we move on to the second, which will be on top of the first and so on. The skirt can have up to seven levels, but it depends on how much fullness you want to achieve.

Next, we cut the tulle into the same strips as the mesh. And we sew tulle strips onto the very top layer of the ballet tutu skirt.

The skirt is ready! All that remains is to fix it and steam it.

Complex tailoring option with lining

The tutu skirt looks like a real ballerina's with ruffled lining. You can sew a tutu with your own hands for going out for a young girl or for a tall girl.

DIY tutu skirt for a girl: option with lining

The following materials are used to make the item:

• The base-lining is 0.4 m thick silk. It’s good if the fabric is stretchy;
• semi-rigid tulle from 3.5-5 m;
• secret or regular zipper.

For the lining, a pattern is created - the upper part of a straight skirt. The circumference of the hips and waist is measured.

From the first girth value, the second is subtracted and divided in half, the sum S of darts is distributed as follows:

• 0.5xS – side dart;
• 0.3xS – dart of the front panel of the skirt;
• 0.2xS – dart of the back panel of the skirt.

A rectangle with a height equal to the length of the lining and a side equal to the circumference of the hips is divided into two equal parts. Darts are built along the waist line. Using the resulting pattern, the lining fabric is cut, overcast and sewn. There is a zipper in the left side seam.

The tulle is cut into equal strips with a width of 20-30 cm. The top of the strips is gathered randomly, using a thread or folds, and adjusted, with the top cut open, in tiers onto the lining of the skirt. The top of the skirt is finished with a stitched double belt. The fastening at the waist is made with a welt loop and a button.
