How to make a skirt-tutu in another way?
For this model of a tutu skirt, it is necessary to prepare a mesh or tulle for its lower layers and fabric of a denser structure on the upper layer (depending on the season: for summer it is thinner, for winter it is denser). In this model, the splendor of the skirt will directly depend on the number of lower layers.
Materials:
- tulle (tulle, mesh);
- thin knitwear (jersey);
- scissors;
- threads
- satin ribbon;
- sewing machine.
Manufacturing process:
- Before sewing a pack skirt, measure the waist circumference and cut the same length strip for the future belt from knitted fabric, making a small allowance for the seam. The rectangle is cut two times the width of the future size of the belt.
- The length of the skirt is determined, its splendor will depend on this parameter. Proceed directly to cutting.
- Six pieces of tulle are cut off, equal in width to the length of the bundle, and in length - twice the size of the belt. In the same way, two more rectangles are cut from a denser tulle. It doesnβt matter if the edges of the cut pieces are not too even, this will not be visible after the assembly of the tutu skirt.
- Start cutting out frills from light tulle. The size should be 2.5 cm wide and the length should be five times the size of the belt. Manually draw two pieces of light tulle and a frill, collecting them to the size of the belt.
- Then sew the parts of the skirt and ruffles. This is done using a sewing machine, attaching a frill with an even stitch, retreating 2.5 cm from the lower edge of the light tulle.
- The next step is to pick up the remaining pieces and sew them neatly. In the event that the sewing experience is small, it is recommended to pre-assemble the assembly, and then attach it to the typewriter. All pieces should be equal to the length of the knit belt. Layers are sewn to the belt gradually, retreating 5-7 mm from its lower edge. If there is a shiny tulle, it can be sewn onto the topmost layer.
- The final action: the upper part of the belt is wrapped so that the knitted fabric covers all layers of the sewn tulle, and it was possible to put on a satin ribbon. They sew a belt, put in a ribbon, and a do-it-yourself skirt-tutu is ready.
