Organza, tulle, tulle, veil sewing tips
Before starting work, it is worth exploring several features on the technique of sewing from airy fabrics (to simplify and correct the process).
1. Do not sew too long stitches. The fabric in this case will be picked up. If the stitch is too small, the thread may become stuck in the sewing machine plate. The optimum length stitch is 2.5 mm.
2. Use as many pins as possible and more if you pick the fabric manually.
3. In the process of manufacturing the product, you must constantly iron it. The ideal option is after each seam. Seam allowances are ironed to one side. The temperature is set to the minimum. So the fabric will not deform.
4. If the material is picked up on a sewing machine, the longest straight stitch is placed. Lower thread tension must be loosened. So the fabric will be picked up automatically. It remains only to ensure that the thread does not break, the line was straight.

Material Required:

Process description
How is a tutu skirt made for a girl with her own hands? The master class is presented below.
The first thing to do is stitch the elastic tape. To do this, its ends are superimposed one on top of another and double-stitched. You can manually or on a sewing machine. Next, the fabric is cut into strips. Width - 60 cm, length - double length of the skirt.
A strip of fabric is folded in half - so that a loop forms at the top. Then it is applied to the elastic tape at the back, and the open lower ends are wrapped up, stretched through it and gently tightened. The strip of fabric should lie flat.
Then, on the elastic tape, the next strip is knotted next to the first one. If a multi-colored fabric is used, it is necessary to alternate the segments each time. Tie strips on elastic tape to tightly to each other.
So, the do-it- yourself tutu skirt for the little princess is done! Quick and easy!
Classic model
Let's consider in detail how a skirt-pack of tulle is sewn with your own hands for a girl. How to make its lower part three-stage, and the upper half-sun?
Material Required:
- tulle;
- fabric for a skirt;
- beak oblique;
- elastic tape;
- threads.
Manufacturing process
First, we cut the material. The lower skirt will be three-stage. The width of the panels is 150 cm, the length is 30 cm. The first (upper) step will consist of 2 parts, the middle one of three, the lower one of five. The result should be 10 panels.
The length of this sample skirt is 87 cm. If the product is made longer or shorter, the fabric consumption will increase or decrease. The number of panels may vary depending on how magnificent the skirt will be.
Next, the panels must be stitched into a ring. To do this, fold them face to face and sew the side seams. We allow over allowances together. A seam with a width of 0.5 cm. For the upper ring, grind two panels, for the middle - three, for the bottom - five. The result is 3 different in diameter. All allowances must be ironed, swept.
We process the lower edges. There are two options. The first is with a hem manually or on a typewriter. The second is with an oblique tie.
Then we grind together all the steps. How to do it? First, measure the width of the lower cut of the second stage. At this length, you need to pick up the top of the third skirt. To do this, sew with long stitches manually or on a typewriter. Strings are pulled. The length of the top of the lower step should be equal to the lower cut of the middle skirt. The ends of the threads are knotted. Pins with the front sides the smooth edge of the lower stage and the middle. We are stitching. We remove the threads, overcast allowances, ironing. Do the same with the middle and upper step of the skirt.
The next stage is the processing of the upper edges of the skirt. Here you can apply 2 options.
- Overcast with a zigzag seam (or use an overlock). Cut the tape to the required length. Stitch in the ring ends. Mark 4 segments (identical) on the tape and on the upper cut of the first step. Chip tags with pins. Stitch the tape to the cut, while stretching it so that it lies exactly between the marks. Ensure that the assemblies are distributed evenly. The bottom edge of the tape is additionally swept, grabbing tulle.
- Sewn under the elastic band drawstring. Next is the upper skirt, the upper slice of which is connected to the stepped and processed as one part. Turn the upper cut on the wrong side, first by 0.5 cm, then by another 1.5 cm. Take notice. Stitch the drawstring to the edge. Leave a hole in the seam where the tape will be threaded. Stitch in the ring. Sew the hole manually.
Final touch
Now you can proceed to the upper panel. Any fabric is taken. First, a pattern of a half-skirt is drawn. There will be two side seams. The pattern is superimposed on a double folded fabric so that the dashed line coincides with the fold. So 2 canvases are cut out. Then the side sections of the upper skirt are ground. Seam allowances are ironed and ironed. The lower edge is twice bent to the wrong side and attached. Then you should mark 4 segments on the upper cut of the skirt, on the drawstring (or elastic band). Next, the swept over upper skirt must be connected to the step and sew the drawstring. Done!
An organza skirt for the girl with her own hands is also sewn.
The dream of any girl
From early childhood, every little princess was fascinated by outfits like ballerinas. The dream of any mommy is to make such a product as a fluffy tutu skirt with her own hands. A master class on her sewing is presented to help them.
What is needed:
- 2.5 m organza;
- 0.5 m stretch;
- elastic band (2 cm wide);
- threads.
Now take measurements and proceed to sewing. You need to start with ruffle. To do this, we cut 13 stripes along the oblique of organza, the width of which is 10 cm. Cut.
The edges of each strip must be machined on both sides with a zigzag stitch. You can use the overlock. To make the wave beautiful, you need to stretch the fabric slightly. The bands are ready. Put them off.
Next, cut out a rectangle of 80 * 25 cm from any stretch, grind it into a ring. It turns out the basis. On it exactly in the middle we configure the finished stripes. We lay the folds and make them more often. So the skirt will turn out airy, magnificent. The ruffles must be closed in a ring, the ends hidden in folds. To iron the first stitched row on one side, it will be easier to sew the next ones. The distance between the strips is 1 cm. We dress the skirt row by row. We grind the latter from the edge at a distance of 6 cm. We bend and make a drawstring into which we insert the elastic.
