Today, young parents want to dress their children in a fashionable, comfortable and beautiful way. And many dream at the same time to spend little time and money on outfits. That is why you can be sewn a tutu skirt with your own hands. A master class on its manufacture is described in this article. Such a detail of the wardrobe will perfectly complement the girl's festive outfit. Her creation will be fascinating not only for mom, but also for the little fashionista.
First option
DIY handmade tulle skirt for children is a simple and elegant solution for an unexpected holiday or picnic. We don’t need any special skills or tools: a wide elastic band (to assemble the product at the waist), tulle, scissors and a ribbon. And you can get to work.
Selection of materials
- Fatin: hard or soft, depending on which skirt you want (it can be a tutu or just a fluffy skirt). Color - at your discretion and preference. You can combine several shades, then it will turn out even more interesting. Fold the fabric on the table and fold in half along the long side. Then, with pins / remnant / chalk / pencil, make marks in increments of twenty centimeters. You should get forty-nine marks, that is, fifty strips. Next, cut out the details and set them aside. Their length corresponds to the double length of the future skirt.
- An elastic band 2-3 cm wide. Its length is the waist circumference of the child, plus 5-7 centimeters.
- It is better to take the ribbon a little thinner, but longer to tie a bow.
Stages
We take the gum, tie or sew its ends and pull it on the back of the chair or over the ladder to fix it in the stretched position. It is better, of course, to stitch, since the knot will compress the skin of the child and interfere with the even distribution of tulle. You can involve senior family members in this activity, who will hold the elastic on their outstretched arms, as during winding the yarn, but they can get bored with it quickly (remember this).
Now you can start tinkering. We take a strip of tulle, find its middle and throw it over the elastic band, tying it to the knot below. It should not be too tight so as not to crush the belt. Otherwise, the skirt will not hold well and will fall. One by one, we tie the tulle details around the elastic, without imposing nodules on each other.
When all the stripes are tied, be sure to trim the ends of our skirts with scissors so that it looks neater. And the last decorative touch - sticking tape. Poke it between the knots in a checkerboard pattern, and tie the ends to a bow.
Everything, a children's skirt-pack of tulle, made with your own hands, is ready!
Second option
In this case, we may need the skill of working on a sewing machine or at least a thread with a needle. It’s easy to sew a baby tulle skirt with your own hands, you just want to. And we will try to help you with this. So, let's begin.
Materials
- Fatin, whose width is one and a half meters, and the length is equal to the length of the finished product, multiplied by two. Again, depending on whether you need a tutu or just a fluffy skirt, the rigidity of the material can vary.
- A linen gum corresponding to the waist circumference of a girl with a small margin.
- Needle, thread, sewing machine.
Process
To begin with, you should carefully fold the tulle along the length and sew or sew it, departing from the fold by a centimeter. If necessary, you can connect several of these bands, then the skirt will be more magnificent. To do this, stick the edge of the next canvas into the fold of the previous one and flash it. It will be more accurate. Fasten the ends of the threads. After the preparatory phase, we take up the gum. We put a pin on one end and pinch it on the teeth or between the knees. Then we stretch the free end (with a pin), through the fabric hall formed after the stitching, putting on tulle on the “belt”. Be prepared for the fact that the gum will have to be tightened strongly, since there will be a lot of tulle. The edges of the gum are better to sew with an overlap. Everything, a children's skirt-pack of tulle, made with your own hands, is ready! At the hem of the hem you can sew an oblique trim on, then the skirt will not cling to the tights and will become more elegant.
Third option
In another way, a do-it-yourself skirt-tutu can be made. The master class is attached in this article. To sew this product, you may need the ability to work on a sewing machine with a knitted fabric, chiffon and tulle. A fluffy children's tulle skirt, sewn with your own hands, will look good like a petticoat.
Necessary materials
- A small piece of knit fabric. We need it for the belt, so take a dense material that does not stretch.
- Thin and soft chiffon as the basis for frills. With a width of one and a half meters, about two and a half to three meters of fabric will be required (for five layers).
- Fatin medium hardness 1.5 m wide.
Working process
Fold the knitwear twice in length and cut a strip equal to the circumference of the waist of the child with an allowance for seams. Set aside this detail for now, we will need it later. Now let's move on to chiffon. Iron it. Fold in half in length and lay on the table. Then take a ruler or a measuring tape and mark the length of your skirt five times along the fold. Then cut the fabric in strips. You should get five cuts of fifty centimeters each, or less if you need a different length. From tulle, we cut parts twenty centimeters wide and a half meters long. There should be ten of them.
Now let's move on to the assembly. A self-made tulle skirt made of tulle for a girl will be created in a couple of hours. After all the preparations are made, you need to take the tulle details, fold them along and sew in the middle, collecting a little on a rare line. When one strip comes to an end, attach the second to it. As a result, we should get five bands of three meters each. After that, gently pull the bottom thread, but do not tear it so that the tulle is gathered in folds. We are doing this manipulation with all five details. It was the hard part of the job. The children's tulle skirt we are creating with our own hands is almost ready.
Now we take one piece of chiffon and attach a tulle to it, retreating five centimeters from the edge. When all the chiffon details are fused with tulle, you get five petticoats. It remains to connect them. To do this, we adjust the details one on the other, retreating half a centimeter from each seam. At the end, we sew a belt to close the working part of our skirt. We do this according to the principle of sweeping the edging: we apply the front side of the belt to the front side of the skirt, we sweep. Then we throw the belt over the edge and gently pin the fabric on the other side, bending its edge inward and making sure that it does not bend. After making sure that it turned out smoothly, iron it through cheesecloth, and then we sew and remove the extra threads. Everything, a children's tulle skirt, designed with your own hands, is ready!
As you can see, this is a simple and affordable way to please a child with a new outfit.
