Where do we start?
Before you start sewing a skirt from a mesh, carefully think about your venture and get ready for the technical execution process. Imagine a future finished thing. Perhaps it will be a multi-layered skirt or a short one to combine with leggings. What if you want to have a long skirt on the floor?
Decide also whether it will be plain or multi-colored. What splendor do you want to achieve? Will it be an ordinary tutu, or a lined skirt? It remains to sketch a rough sketch and prepare for the upcoming work.
Material selection
It’s time to go shopping. A fluffy mesh skirt should be made of quality material. The modern assortment offers the buyer a fairly wide selection. Materials differ not only in colors, but also in stiffness, depending on the diameter of the mesh cells. It can be transparent and weightless, dense and matte. You can purchase a mesh with a light shimmer. She will shimmer very beautifully in the light. Do not forget that if you buy a thin mesh, you will need more material.
In addition, you will need dense and thin elastic bands. The first will be located at the waist, becoming the so-called support for the entire structure. Instead of the second, you can use spandex. Of course, for work you will need a tailor meter, a ruler, paper, pins, cutting soap, pencil, thread, scissors, tracing paper and a sewing machine.
Technical part
So, you can get to work. To begin with, we make two measurements - this is the waist circumference and the estimated length of the product. Let's say you need a midi skirt-skirt. To sew it, measure the length from the waist to the knee and add another five centimeters to it. Waist circumference is divided by 3.14. The resulting figure is doubled. Attention should also be paid to the elastic band. It should be quite tight and hold well on the waist, without deforming and not slipping in the process of wearing. For example, when you sit down. Its optimal width is five centimeters.
Now we begin to make a pattern. On a tracing-paper we draw a double semicircle. The first is equal to the radius of the waist, the second to the length of the product. The template must be cut with scissors. After that, the grid folds in two, like a book, and then again. It turns out eight layers of material. The mesh is fastened at the base of the assembly using pins. Workpieces are cut. It turns out four circles with holes in the middle. They stack in pairs. Then they are swept in the center along the edge of the hole. The blanks are superimposed on each other and are fixed with pins at four points (at the waist). The ends of the gum come together and overlap.
The prepared material is fixed in its inner side and is stitched with a zigzag seam. The lower skirt is sewn of tulle. The main thing is that he holds tight. The upper edge is processed with a basting seam, the thread is tightened so that the cover fits snugly on the waist. Its lower part is cut so that it is not visible from under the hem. If you are going to wear a skirt over leggings and leggings, you can do without a cover.
Long models are sewn on the same principle. However, you must be extremely careful with the designation of the length. With prolonged wear, the hem may deteriorate. Therefore, it is recommended to give attention to a moderate length. The hem should not drag and cling to heels. Ideal - product to the ankles.
Decorate the skirt
So, your masterpiece is ready. It remains only to decorate the skirt with accessories to your taste. To do this, you can use satin ribbons, beads or beads. You can make the skirt even more attractive by embroidering it with pearls in a chaotic manner. In principle, you can use whatever your heart desires. A mesh skirt for girls, for example, can even be decorated with decorative feathers. You just have to show your imagination to always look beautiful and fashionable.
