Simple skirt-tutu from tulle: calculation of material and sewing

Craftsmen who have daughters have an excellent opportunity to pamper their babies with products of their own production. This is both interesting and economical.

Making children's things is also attractive in that it does not take a lot of time and allows you to use bright, cheerful materials (for example, bright purple or pink colors that are not always suitable for adults). The skirt-tutu of tulle belongs to the category of such amusing products. It can be used for everyday use or as part of a festive costume.

What will be required to create a skirt of tulle

Such magnificent tutus is suitable for the youngest girls, and for teenagers, and for adult girls. Depending on the age of the girl, and also taking into account the length and purpose of the product, some amount of tulle (or net), a wide elastic band for the belt and sharp scissors will be required. Also, a needle with a thread for stitching gum and fixing the decor is useful.

There are several options for how to sew a skirt-tutu from tulle. This article will describe the simplest method, which does not require special sewing experience or special adaptations.

Material selection

Experienced craftsmen recommend using an American nylon, which is soft and at the same time perfectly preserves the shape. This material can be found in coils or rolls. Its width is usually about 20 cm. However, many skilled workers say that it is not sold in all cities. Therefore, the skirt-tutu of tulle can be sewn from the material that is available.

In most shops there are several types of tulip. Too soft will not hold the shape, and the hardest can scratch the child. So the material can be considered the best medium hardness.

A skirt-tutu made of tulle can be made from a large number of ribbons attached to a girdle belt. The length of the eraser should be equal to the circumference of the child's waist. Sewing it will have an overlap, so it will become a little shorter and will hold tight.

As an ornament for a pack, satin ribbons and bows are most often used, which are fastened to the belt. Also, some beads are sewn on beads or beads.

Calculation of material

To make a tutu skirt for tiny babies, 40 to 60 stripes of tulle width of 15 cm and length of 50 cm (for a product of 24 cm length) will be required.

If you use a material with a width of 160 cm, then from one running meter will be 20 bands. Therefore, to cut out 60 bands, at least three meters of tulle will be required.

Calculate the consumption of tissue before sewing a skirt-pack of tulle longer length, you can by the following algorithm:

• Determine the length of the skirt.
• Add 5-6 cm, which is necessary for the formation of the node.
• Decide how splendid the pack will be. On average, an adult requires at least 60-80 lanes. If you need a very fluffy tutu skirt from tulle, it can take up to 120 lanes.

Open tulle

Most types of tulle are convenient to cut, even if they are stacked in several layers. Therefore, you can not be afraid of the formation of uneven strips and the removal of scissors, and boldly cut at once 3-5 paintings.

When marking the material, it is better to determine the start and end points of the cut, as well as several points between them. The optimal way to cut a perfectly flat strip is to accurately trace the cutting line with chalk or a slice of soap. Otherwise, you may find that the strip at the end will be narrower or wider than at the beginning. It is also possible to form an uneven cut line.

After the necessary number of bands is ready, measure and cut off the elastic band for the belt. Its edges need to be stacked on top of each other and very tightly sewed. If there is a sewing machine, you can use it, but hands also get a fairly reliable seam.

How to make a skirt-tutu from tulle

To fix the first strip on the girdle, the elastic band needs to be stretched a little. Craftsmen use for this purpose legs of an inverted stool or their own knee. You can tie a knot in two ways:

1. The ribbon is tied around a rubber band with an ordinary double knot so that its edges are the same, and the knot is located in the center of the belt. The strip, tied up in this way, will be strongly bristling, so in this case a very plush skirt will be made of tulle with your own hands.
2. Each strip is first folded in half, the loop is wound up by an elastic band. Then the free ends are dragged through the loop. The knot is tightened, and as a result, both edges of the strip are looking at the floor.

An important point: the tape should be tied so that they do not overtighten the elastic band, but they can move freely along it. To withstand this golden mean, you can put a ruler or dense cardboard of the same width as the belt. After several nodes are ready, the lining can be pulled out.

The described method requires tying all the strips, placing them very tightly to each other. Elastic bands should not be seen.

Shutdown

In fact, the product is ready. If necessary, the bottom edge can be trimmed with scissors, to get a neat skirt pack of tulle. The master class describes the manufacture of the base, which can be decorated on your own.

As an option for decorating, one can consider cutting out sharp corners at the ends of each strip. True, this skirt will lose a little in splendor.

Also interesting to look at the products, in the manufacture of which used a different color strip of material. They can be placed on the rubber band in a chaotic order or alternate on some system.
