An airy and elegant skirt will take its rightful place in the wardrobe of any fashionista. A beautiful outfit is worn to a party, on a visit or for a walk around the city. You can sew a tulle skirt with your own hands. It goes well with different things, which is why it is popular.
DIY tulle skirt
A lush product made of several layers will complement a bright top or T-shirt. It is suitable for young girls and little girls. There are many options for creating a skirt. Each model has its own characteristics.
Choice of style
The simplest option is a rectangular skirt. To sew it, you need to decide on the number of layers and the density of the assembly. Cut off the required number of rectangles, the height of which is equal to the length of the product. The sides of the rectangles are connected vertically. Each part is assembled separately. The model is distinguished by great pomp in the hips.
ATTENTION! At the stage of assembling the upper section, it is necessary to take into account that the model will be on an elastic band. The top of the skirt is made to give a little more volume to the hips.
It is not difficult to sew a circle skirt from several layers. If the assembly is not done, then a regular model will be obtained. The layers will simply merge. It is important to do the calculations correctly. The edges of the skirt of different layers in this model can cling to each other. To get rid of this drawback, the edge of the product is treated with bias tape.
The shoppen skirt is especially popular. She reminds me of ballerinas. If you sew it from wedges and assemble it, it will have a beautiful shape. The parts are cut out in one direction, so the edges of the finished product do not cling when moving.
Instructions
Sewing an outfit will require a certain amount of time. It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions to get the desired result. An original product will become your favorite wardrobe item if you make it yourself.
What you will need
First of all, choose the material. Tulle is available in different densities; when purchasing, you also pay attention to the width of the fabric. The calculation depends on the chosen style. For a little girl, a version without lining is sewn if the number of layers allows this.
It's better to use a petticoat. To do this, buy satin, viscose or other lining fabric in the store. Measure your waist circumference and multiply the measurement by 1.5. If the resulting number is less than the width of the material indicated in the store, then it is enough to buy a cut corresponding to the desired length of the skirt.
If the number is greater than the width of the material, then the assembly is made smaller. You can purchase two lengths of the product. Then the density of the assembly does not need to be reduced. For sewing, you will need a spool of thread to match the main fabric, an elastic band the length of which is equal to the waist circumference. If you plan to decorate the model, then purchase decorative fittings.
Features of working with tulle
This material does not fray, which makes the sewing process easier.The skirt will need a lining. If you make many layers, you can do without it.
IMPORTANT! To connect tulle parts using a sewing machine, select a zig-zag stitch. This seam is almost invisible on the canvas.
The bottom of the product is usually not processed; it does not crumble. Each piece of the skirt must be gathered separately to achieve the necessary pomp.
Progress
First of all, take measurements: waist size, hip size, length of the product. For the circle skirt, you need to perform calculations. To determine the radius of the circle at the waist, you must use the formula: C = 2 * π *R, where C is the circumference; number π =3.14; R is the radius of the circle. R = C/ 2 * π. This model does not have a zipper, so the formula uses hip volume.
Let's look at an example. The volume of the hips is 90 cm, and the length of the skirt is 70 cm, then R = 90/ 2 * 3.14 = 14 cm. The diameter is accordingly 28 cm. Then you need to multiply this value by the gathering factor (minimum 1.5 cm). The result is 42 cm.
You can cut directly on the fabric; novice craftswomen are recommended to make a pattern on paper. If you buy fabric with a width of 1.5 m, then for two layers you will need 7.4 m of tulle ((42 + 70 * 2) * 4 = 732 cm). For the lining you need to purchase 3.5 m of satin. The petticoat is 5 cm shorter than the main part.
ATTENTION! When cutting out layers, it is necessary to make the top cut of the front 2 cm smaller than the front part of the product. This is necessary to level the bottom of the product.
If the model is more curvy, or more layers are planned, then more material will be needed. Each layer needs to be gathered and then carefully sewn to the elastic.
Tulle skirt for a girl, important points.
For a baby, the skirt differs only in size.You can make a model for crumbs from strips 10 cm wide. The length of such parts is 2 times the length of the product. You will need about 50 strips. You also need a wide elastic band, the edges of which are ground down on a machine. Fold the ribbons in half and tie them to an elastic band. It is necessary to repeat the operation until there is no free space left.
IMPORTANT! Pay attention to the quality and density of the elastic; this determines how the skirt will sit at the waist.
You can use colored pieces of fabric to create an outfit for your baby. Multi-layered skirts with fabrics of different lengths look amazing on children. To do this, each subsequent layer is made 10 cm shorter than the previous one.
The product is decorated with beads, ribbons, and flowers. A bow is attached to the belt to match the outfit, or a contrasting color is preferred. A white tulle skirt with a black belt and bow looks beautiful. Pink and blue outfits look tender on little girls.
