Think in advance how you want to see the finished product, take all measurements and calculate the required amount, as described below. For newborns, two meters of fabric is enough

For a baby, the length of the skirt will be 30 centimeters (plus or minus 5 centimeters). It will take an average of 50 strips, each 30 by 15. Therefore, it will take three meters. Fatin costs about 100 rubles per meter.

An adult girl will take at least 60 stripes. It already depends on the splendor you want. For an average skirt above the knee, the length is 50 centimeters and 7 meters of fabric will be needed so that the product is not transparent.

Based on the skirt "sun"

You will need:

  • Fatin.
  • Scissors.
  • Tape measure.
  • Tracing paper, for those who do not dare to immediately cut out on the fabric.
  • Sewing machine.
  • Thread or safety pins.

What do we have to do:

  1. Measure the length of the future skirt.
  2. From tulle you need to make a square, each side of which should be twice the length you need (plus a few centimeters of seam allowances).
  3. Fold the fabric in half twice, you get a square four times smaller than it was.
  4. Cut out the corner at which all the folds are in a semicircle, the radius of which is equal to the length of the waist divided by 4. To make the circle even, tie a pencil to a thread equal to the desired length, and pinch its edge at the corner. Pull the thread and draw an even semicircle with a pencil.
  5. Cut off the semicircle. Expand the square.
  6. For inexperienced seamstresses, it is better to first do all this on tracing paper, creating a pattern, and only then transfer it to the fabric.
  7. Now sew the fabric to the elastic with your hands or pin it with safety pins, tightening it a little.
  8. If splendor is not enough, then add several layers in the same way.

  • Good stretch fabric for the cover, stretch will do.
  • Fatin.
  • Scissors.
  • Threads.
  • Sewing machine.
  • Wide elastic.

Here's what to do:

  1. From tulle you need to cut several large rectangles. The first is equal to the length of the finished product plus the seam allowance. The second is 10 centimeters shorter than the first, and the third is the same amount shorter than the second.
  2. From the second fabric, you need to cut a rectangle with a length equal to the length of the smallest rectangle of tulle. And the width is equal to the girth of the hips. Hem the bottom.
  3. Now we sew the largest rectangle of tulle to the cover, retreating on it twice the length of the elastic (plus a centimeter for the seams). Sew on the rest of the layers, overlapping each other.
  4. We bend the unused part of the cover in half, sew it together.
  5. Insert rubber band.

It turns out that the skirt will sit on the hips. You can make more layers, change the amount of indentation.

How to decorate

How to sew a fluffy tulle skirt, step-by-step instruction showed, but how to decorate? Here are some ideas. For the first version of the skirt, take a satin ribbon and pass it through the loops to the elastic bands. Once above the loop, once below it. When finished, tie beautiful bow. The alternation of different colors will in itself be an interesting decoration.

For the second and third options: alternate the colors of the layers. You can make small bows from the remnants of tulle and sew them to the edge of the skirt, to the belt, or distribute them along the entire length of the product. The same can be done with sequins, beads, rhinestones. Small beads glued over the entire surface give a special grace. In the hardware store you can find fabric stars, flowers and so on. On the skirts of young ladies, small tulle pom-poms along the edge will look good. A thin satin ribbon can be sewn to the edge of each layer.

Skirt Care

You learned how to sew a fluffy tulle skirt, but how to care for the finished product? Not everyone has this information. After all, most often there are no things made of such fabric in the wardrobe of an ordinary girl. Care rules:

  • Wash in normal warm water. To save jewelry, it is better to remove them. Especially if sequins, beads, rhinestones are glued. Qualitatively sewn when washing should not fall off. Washing is best done by hand, or on a delicate cycle in a washing machine.
  • Add conditioner when rinsing. To protect the product from electrification.
  • In no case do not wring the skirt, the fabric may wrinkle or deteriorate. Straighten the product and hang it on a trouser hanger, you can shake off excess water. The drying process is fast.
  • Ironing - on medium mode.
  • You can store the skirt only on a hanger. Otherwise, she will lose her splendor. Straighten all the folds and make sure that the clothes hanging nearby do not press the tulle.

What to wear

Vera Olkhovskaya

sew it yourself Wedding Dress many girls want. But few people know how to do it. Below we will consider the issue of cutting skirts with a train and with a difference in length, which are suitable for both wedding dress, and for evening dresses.

Let's start with what a loop is. It is a mistake to call a skirt with a length difference a train (photo 1 on the left). The train is the hem of the dress dragging behind, that is, the part that comes into contact with the floor or the ground (photo 1 on the right).

If we recall the times of kings, for example, the era of Louis XIV, then trains and mantles were an indispensable part of the toilet of a noble person. The train showed the retinue at what distance from their master they were allowed to follow. Of course, the longest robes and trains were worn by persons of royal blood.

Skirts with a train, like skirts with a difference in length, can be of different designs.

One of the most fashionable can be called a "sun" skirt with a difference in length, a pattern of which is on the website of Vera Olkhovskaya:

Skirts made of wedges with a length difference or with a train are not widely used due to the somewhat greater laboriousness of the cutting and sewing process, as well as due to the high consumption and significant lunge area (photo 1).

Building a wedge when cutting a skirt

Let's start by building a wedge, which we will call original wedge (Fig. 1). The same wedge can be used to cut any other skirt with wedges.

Before you start building, you need to learn how to take measurements and learn their letter designations

So draw a vertical line. It will serve us as a line of symmetry of the wedge - the middle line, and on the layout it will play the role of equity for us.

Now the horizontals: the line is lii. Lay down from her

DI + 2 cm.

Hip line: from the waist line down, set aside 18 cm and draw a horizontal line.

Now the width of half the wedge at the waist.

The number of wedges in the considered style can be any starting from 6. If you decide on a wraparound skirt, you may need an odd number of wedges. That's why

St divided by the number of wedges

And half the width of the wedge at the level of the hips is

Sat divided by the number of wedges

The width at the bottom is arbitrary, but it is better if you first make the width the same as at the level of the hips, and then add extensions.

Figure 1 shows wedges with the most common types of extensions:

a) initial wedge - wedge base;

b) with extension a year from the level of the knee or from the level of 1/2Di;

c) with an extension from the level of the hips;

d) with an extension from the bending point of the hips, located 10 - 12 cm below the waist level.

The next operation for the design of the wedge is the deflection at the waist and bottom along 0.5 cm.

The main rule in the construction of any of these wedges is the equality of length.

D The length measured at the shear of the wedge without flare must be equal to the length measured at the shear of the wedge with flare.

If these lengths are not equal, then the larger one is equalized by the smaller one.

Having built a wedge base for a skirt with a train or for a skirt with a length difference, multiply it to half the amount indicated by the name of the style.

That is, for a 6-blade, make three wedges, for an 8-blade - 4, etc. Do not forget to draw a line of symmetry on each part.

I will have eight-pieces. They are more convenient when cutting models with a train, as they fit well with the bodice of the dress, which has a middle seam.

Lay the wedges in such a way that their cuts along the length are end-to-end, and the cuts of the bottom form a smooth line (Fig. 2).

Extend the side of one extreme wedge by the length of the train (30 - 50 cm), and extend the line common to II and III wedges by half the length of the train.

Arrange smoothly l the bottom line, going to “no” to the first wedge.

Note that the extreme ones in Fig. 2 lines I and IV of the wedges should be connected to the bottom curve at a right angle.

Finally, extend the sides of the wedges to the new bottom line and cut each wedge with these changes in mind.

Let's look at the layout (Fig. 3). The complexity of its implementation lies in the fact that the wedges cannot be rotated relative to the line of symmetry (the middle line of the wedge) and expand or narrow.

Seam allowances - 1 - 1.5 cm, except for the waist. We do not add an allowance along the cut of the waist.

Pattern with a drop in the length of the skirt

If with a train it is performed on the basis of year wedges, then they should be laid for lengthening on the train, combining the cut points at the level of the beginning of the expansion. Beginning cutters are misled by the bend inherent in the year. In this case, the bend is not taken into account (Fig. 4) or is added after cutting to the elongated wedges.

That is, when the length of the wedges is extended and the bottom line, taking into account the plume, is verified, you just need to draw a new bend (Fig. 5). For a wedge of maximum length, the year deflection can be from 2 to 4 cm. A simple rule works here: the longer the year wedge, the greater the bend of its side.

If it seems to you that everything is simple, then I will say right away - there is a catch. In such dresses it is very difficult to determine the position of the level of the beginning of the expansion, so as not to distort the proportions of the figure.

Open skirt style with a train

And another style with a train (photo 2), which is so similar to the "Tatyanka". We are talking about an overskirt made of an embroidered coupon "net".

Please note that such a skirt can only be cut from soft elastic mesh. Rigid and “stable” fabrics are not suitable for such a cut. Heavy guipure will not work either.

If you are not going to embroider the border yourself, then the pattern of the upper transparent skirt will look something like in fig. 6.

That is, the fabric is folded in half perpendicular to the embroidered border. From the edge of the border along the fold, the length of the skirt in front is postponed. Skirt length at the back - measured along an inclined line. The slope is arbitrary, the approximate value of the slope is 40-50 cm.

At the end, the drawing is drawn up with concave lines.

And advice. With the seeming simplicity of the cut, it is very difficult for novice couturiers to choose the right fabric and keep the proportions of the product, so that the dress emphasizes the advantages and hides the flaws. Therefore, if you are not a professional tailor specializing in wedding and elegant dresses Don't expect your first work to be haut couture.

Pattern of a wedding dress

  • - This is a mesh fabric made of synthetic threads. Exist different types material, differing in its density and softness.

A stiffer tulle will create a lush volume, and draperies are perfectly assembled from soft tulle.
  • Fabric for lining and top layer. These items are optional and depend on the selected model. If it is decided to make a skirt with a lining, then the fabric for it should be smooth and pleasant to the body; for the upper tier, any light material that will not crumple the tulle layer can be chosen.
  • Rubber- the future belt of the skirt. Need to pick up desired color and width, so that the finished outfit is complete and comfortable to wear.
  • Bias binding if, for aesthetic reasons, it is decided to process the cut of the hem.
  • Threads for sewing, in color corresponding to the base material.
  • Satin ribbons, lace, rhinestones, bows- any decorative elements and accessories to decorate the skirt.

Note! Tulle is a very simple material for cutting and sewing, it does not crumble and does not require edge processing on an overlock.

Despite enough simple job with the material, you will need a number of mandatory tools:

  • sewing machine, if no model is provided, without sewing;
  • paper to create a pattern;
  • crayons or felt-tip pens for fabric to transfer patterns to tulle;
  • tailor's needles for fixing the material;
  • sharp scissors for cutting;
  • ribbon for measurements.

How to sew a tulle skirt for a girl: basic rules

  1. First, measurements are taken: the waist circumference is measured, to which 2 cm are added - this is the length of the belt (elastic band), and the length of the product is the distance from the waist to the desired edge of the skirt. The lining will be 2-5 cm shorter than the total length of the skirt, so as not to peek out from under the tulle.
  2. Tulle consumption is about 6-10 m, but this value depends on the size and type of model, the desired splendor.
  3. Tulle is sewn together medium stitches (about 2.5 mm) so that the stitching is even and without gaps.
  4. It is also better to gather the mesh fabric on the machine, setting the maximum stitch length and loosening the bobbin thread tension. If the assembly is organized manually, then the stitches must be made small and frequent, otherwise the frills will be sloppy.
  5. After each completed seam, tulle should be smoothed iron on the lowest setting or steamer.

Be careful! Tulle is a very delicate material, the mesh structure is easy to break through or burn through.

Do-it-yourself tulle skirts - master class

The general principles of working with tulle are similar for any skirt model, but the cutting and sewing steps are different.

Do-it-yourself tulle tutu skirt

The main feature of a tutu skirt is splendor. It is achieved big amount layers of rather hard tulle, which holds its shape well.

For the classic version of the pack, you will need a ring (hoop), which can be purchased at a sewing or wedding salon.

  • Step one: open. The cloth panel (about 8 meters) is divided into 5 identical pieces.
  • Step two: assembly organization. At this stage, you will need a hoop to make it easier to gather the tulle in a circle. The first of five pieces of fabric and a needle and thread are taken (the length of the thread is equal to the circumference of the waist with a margin of a couple of cm). The tulle is folded in half along the width of the flap and thrown over the ring. With a needle with small stitches, the fabric is gathered along the edge of the fold, the folds are evenly distributed in a circle, at the end everything is fixed by tying a knot on a thread. The ring is removed, the operations are repeated with the remaining 4 pieces of tulle.
  • Step three: skirt assembly. Five prepared two-layer elements are stacked on top of each other and swept away.
  • Step four: belt. A ribbon is sewn on the inside of the resulting skirt to organize the belt. The tutu skirt is ready.

Note! The length of the skirt should be adjusted at the second stage for each layer separately. In the finished product, due to the volume and splendor, it is very difficult to evenly trim the hem.

Do-it-yourself fluffy tulle skirt

If you take a smaller amount of tulle that is softer in structure and make about 3-4 layers, the result will be a puffy skirt, which, however, will look more casual than an extravagant tutu skirt.

Such a skirt is most often made on a petticoat, since a relatively small number of layers of tulle leaves a transparent effect.

Tulle is cut into the desired number of layers and assembled by hand or by machine into a small fold. The layers are folded into a skirt, connected to the lining and sewn /

Children's (for girls) do-it-yourself tulle skirt

The technology for sewing children's and adult tulle skirts is no different.

For a child, you should choose a softer material so as not to irritate the delicate baby skin.

The elastic band for the belt should also be more delicate than in a skirt for an adult girl - narrower in width and not very tight.

Children's skirt accepts more variety in color scheme and additional embellishments without threatening to look vulgar or ridiculous.

In addition to the traditional option of stitching layers, a children's skirt can be sewn from tulle strips. To do this, a common piece of fabric is cut into ribbons 6 cm wide. Each strip is gathered along the edge or in the middle. Then, the resulting wavy ribbons are sewn onto a prepared base - a petticoat (you can take the simplest knitted skirt).

For a child, you should choose a softer material so as not to irritate the delicate baby skin.

How to sew a tulle skirt with an elastic band

The most comfortable tulle skirt to wear is the version with an elastic band instead of a belt. To make such a model, you will need a little more skill than when planting a skirt just on a satin ribbon.

The main part of the skirt (several layers of tulle and a petticoat) is made according to the usual scheme: cutting pieces of fabric, shirring and arranging layers. The elastic band is taken with a length equal to the circumference of the waist plus a couple of cm, the ends are sewn together.

It is important to know! It is most convenient to sew an elastic band with a zigzag stitch.

The connecting seam of the elastic is combined with the seam on the skirt. The elastic is sewn on gently stretching to evenly cover the entire circumference of the prepared tulle skirt.

How to sew a multi-layered tulle skirt

Tulle is a great option for sewing a multi-layered skirt. It is successfully combined with other materials: tulle, organza. Layers can alternate both in color and in type of material. You can also make each layer of its own length so that the hem of the future skirt turns out to be stepped.

  • cut layers;
  • compound layers to each other in the right order;
  • assembly accordion fabrics;
  • compound skirts and belts made of satin ribbon or wide elastic.

A tutu skirt is, in fact, the same fluffy tutu skirt, just, in this way, it is called a tulle skirt in America, paying tribute to the well-known manufacturer of such outfits. Accordingly, a tutu skirt is sewn, like a tutu skirt.

For little girls, there is a simpler manufacturing option with minimal use of a sewing machine. It will only be needed to sew the ribbon or elastic used for the belt.

The tulle is cut into strips twice the length of the desired skirt. A strip of tulle is bent in half, applied under an elastic band (tape), the free ends of the tulle are pulled into a loop, thus a knot is obtained on the belt that fixes the tulle.

The operation is repeated until the belt is completely filled with strips of mesh material. For the most interesting look, it is recommended to use tulle of different colors. You can also make strips of tulle of different lengths, then the hem of the skirt will turn out to be more playful.


Tulle is a very delicate material, the mesh structure is easy to break through or burn through.

How to sew a skirt "sun" from tulle

The sun skirt is most suitable for adult girls, because it looks the most romantic and sophisticated. For its tailoring, you will need to work a little when cutting.

Initially, standard measurements are taken: waist circumference and skirt length. The first value must be divided by the number Pi \u003d 3.14 and another 2 - this will be the waist radius. To the length you need to add 5 cm to the seam.

On a piece of paper (you can take a tracing paper or a piece of wallpaper), build a pattern of two semicircles with one center: the small arc will be equal in size to the waist radius, the radius of the second arc is the calculated length of the product.

The pattern is cut out and superimposed on the tulle folded in several layers so that after cutting out round blanks with a hole for the waist are obtained.

The most common and fatal mistake: the wrong choice of tulle. In pursuit of the desired shade, the requirements for the rigidity of tulle fade into the background. Therein lies the main problem. For example, if you take soft tulle on a tu-tu skirt, the hem of which should “stand” almost parallel to the floor, you will get anything, but not a fluffy skirt. If you try to sew a long airy skirt from a rigid mesh, then you can get the effect of wrapping paper from a flower shop.

The second mistake: insufficient or excessive amount of tissue. The wrong choice of the number of layers can spoil even the best idea and as a result you will not get the skirt of the desired silhouette.

Third mistake: violation of sewing technology. Careless hasty work with mesh material often leads to a violation of its integrity. The wrong choice of iron mode can destroy fragile tulle in an instant.

The fourth mistake: failure to respect the sense of style. Any tulle skirt is an extravagant outfit. In order for an adult girl or woman to use her in her image, you need to think three times about her compatibility and appropriateness. A tulle skirt should be generously decorated with all kinds of ribbons, rhinestones and bows, only in two cases: if it is a fancy dress or if it is a skirt for a little princess.

Tulle is a delightful fabric that makes real princesses out of pretty girls. It is obtained from synthetic threads by weaving them into a sufficiently strong mesh. The rigidity of the material will also depend on how large the cells are soldered tulle fibers.

In total, three varieties of tulle have been put into production:

  • soft;
  • average;
  • hard.

However, science does not stand still. Today on sale there is colored tulle and printed fabric, shiny and matte, with rhinestones and sequins, with embroidery and appliqués.

Clothing made of tulle perfectly retains its shape, does not shed and almost does not get dirty. However, there is one downside. This is the fact that the fabric practically does not absorb moisture, so it is not used to sew clothes for every day. Most often, skirts are made from tulle: ballet tutus, petticoats, Christmas costumes snowflakes and snow queens.

Basic rules for sewing a tulle skirt

To begin with, they take measurements, measuring the waist and adding 2 cm to the value. Then they choose the length (from the waist to the edge of the skirt). The length of the lining should be 2 cm less than the length of the skirt.

Material consumption - about 10 meters. It all depends on the style and size of the product.

Tulle should be sewn with stitches of about 2.5 mm. Each line must be even.

The assembly of mesh tulle is done on a typewriter. The stitch length should be maximum and the thread tension should be loose. If the assembly is done by hand, the stitches should be frequent and small so that the ruffles are very neat.

After the seam is completed, the material requires smoothing with an iron or steamer. Tulle refers to delicate materials that are easy to burn or tear. Therefore, you need to work with it carefully.

How to sew a tulle skirt for a girl with your own hands? Option 1

Actually, there is nothing complicated in such a creative process. It is enough to have sewing skills from ordinary materials. In order to sew a tulle skirt with your own hands, you should purchase the following:

  • no more than one meter of tulle;
  • one and a half meters of satin or synthetic ribbon;
  • a couple of coils of acrylic sewing thread(colorless).

To give the finished product splendor and sophistication, you need to purchase a meter of guipure that matches the color scheme. Before you start creating a designer masterpiece, you will need to find out the waist circumference of your little lady and decide on the long skirt itself. After receiving the data, you can begin the process. Today we will try to tell in detail how to make the most original and at the same time easy-to-make version of a skirt for a girl.

  1. Lay the purchased material on a flat surface, align the corners and cut it into strips that are not very wide (about twenty to twenty-five centimeters). Please note that the length of the stripes should be twice as long as the length of the skirt itself.
  2. Throw the prepared strips of tulle through a wide pre-sewn elastic band. Fasten each strip so that you get a belt along which the strips can move freely. Make sure the strips are the same length. The resulting skirt is decorated with guipure (just sew it to the belt).
  3. Decorate the product with a satin ribbon. To do this, sew the tape in the middle along the entire length on the machine with the widest stitch. Gently pull the thread so that you get gathers on the tape, and its length is enough to wrap the girl's waist. We sew a ribbon on the belt of the skirt, straighten all the strips, giving the maximum volume.

  1. The acquired tissue is cut into four to five equilateral squares. Having decorated the main grid with pieces of shiny or decorated tulle, stepping back three centimeters from the edge of the square, both layers of squares are stitched with a wide step.
  2. Carefully pull out one of the threads to make large assemblies. At the same time, it is important to observe the length of the gathered squares so that their total length is enough to wrap the waist.
  3. Next, a belt is sewn to the upper part (it can be made from a ribbon that matches the color, or a contrasting one). This tape will hold gathers from both layers of tulle in the most reliable way. Even without decorating with guipure or applique, such a product will look spectacular.

This method is no less simple, but you should have skills in cutting technology, although minimal.

  1. It will be necessary to calculate what the width of the fabric blank should be in order to cut out the shape of a skirt from it, called the flared sun. To do this, fold the fabric in a square and cut off one of its corners in a semicircle.
  2. Next, you need to carefully bait the upper edge of the workpiece, and, pulling the thread, make folds on it.
  3. Further, the sewing technology completely repeats the previous method. If the resulting folds are not enough to make the skirt quite fluffy, then you will need to do the same experiment with another piece of tulle.
  4. Two layers of mesh fabric or a layer of tulle and a decorating layer - tulle, guipure, satin, silk or other material you like should already be fastened with a belt-belt.
