Master class: do-it-yourself skirt shopper in two hours
Girls and girls dream of looking light and airy, like ballerinas. An outfit made of tulle will help to create a cute image. In this master class, we will look at how the simplest shopper skirt is sewn. Pattern for the product is not needed.
Prepare the following materials:
- tulle;
- wide elastic;
- scissors.
You will not need a sewing machine to make a skirt. It will consist entirely of strips tied with an elastic band.
How to calculate strip size
Measure your waist circumference. Take strips 15 cm wide. Their number should correspond to the volume of the waist. That is, if it is 60 cm, then the strips should be the same.
The length of the strips is equal to the length of the product plus 6 cm. Additional centimeters will go to the node that will fasten the strip.
Cut the strips. Sew the elastic into the ring. Pull it on the back of the chair. Tie strips of tulle in a circle. Do not tighten the knots strongly so as not to deform the belt.
Tip: instead of elastic, you can use a satin ribbon, then tied it at the waist. She will decorate the product.
Sewing shoppers on a pattern
Chopin is a skirt that can be sewn in many ways. Classical ballet tutu is very difficult to manufacture. This article offers a simpler way that a beginner seamstress can handle.
We calculate the footage of fabric
Before you sew a tulle skirt, you need to choose the type of fabric. For shoppers, soft and gentle eurofatin is suitable. Its width is usually 3 m, which simplifies the cutting of the product, since the consumption of fabric for a skirt is considerable.
Think about how many layers your chopper will consist of. A 55 cm skirt will require 5 m tulle. Thus, the sun skirt comes out of eight layers.
With so many layers, the lining is not necessary, but it is more convenient with it, since then tulle will not tear the tights.
If you want to reduce the consumption of fabric, then you can sew a chopstick of five layers. In this case, a lining is necessary, as the clothes will be visible. If you do not need a multilayer product, but you want to give it splendor, then just double the radius at the waist, picking up layers more. The photo shows a pattern of 4 lower parts of the product without assemblies.
And here is a cut for the 4 upper parts, which are gathered around the waist.
You can cut out the layers in one pattern, but then the skirt will be smoother and not lush. If you want a more magnificent model, you will have to work hard.
Fold three meters of material twice. There will be 4 layers of material with two folds on one side and with one fold and two cuts on the other. This is an economical way to lay out fabrics. The only negative: the four middle suns are solid, and the other four will have seams. Stitched ones will need to be hidden under one-piece. Parts with seams go without assembly.
Stitch one seam on the bottom of the machine. Allowances should be ironed out. Do not stitch the second seam to the end, but leave the 18 cm long zipper connector. Fold the upper one-piece parts together and sew them with the stitching stitch. Stretch them to the waist.
Fold the lower parts together, aligning the seam lines. Lock them and grind at the waist. Sew lines of allowances under the zipper. Sweep stock and thread with a needle and smooth them with an iron. Sew manually the zipper. Unfasten the snake and stitch it by flashing all 4 layers of tulle.
Manually connect the upper and lower layers along the waist line. Cut the upper part, focusing on the length of the zipper. Tuck the edges over the zipper and sweep. Gently hem them with a hidden seam, using threads strictly to the tone of the product.
Lining
Chopin is a skirt that is sewn mainly with a lining. Fabric for her choose the tone of the product. To save material, cut it in the shape of a half sun. Its radius will be equal to the waist circumference divided by three.
Sew it along the seam, leaving the snake connector. Iron the allowances. For a lining, it is good to take mesh knitwear, since its edges do not crumble. Fold the lining and the inside of the skirt to the wrong side and sew along the waist. Fix it in the zipper area and sew it with a hidden seam, backing 5 mm from the teeth.
Belt
How to sew a tulle skirt, we figured out. Now it is fashionable to use rep tape as a belt. This is an easy and convenient way. If you decide to sew a skirt one pattern at a time, then you will not need a zipper, and sew a rubber band as a belt.
Chopen can be worn at any time of the year. The main thing is to properly fit it with other clothes. In summer, it can be a short top and
high-heeled sandals. In spring and autumn - a leather jacket, gym shoes, a stylish sweatshirt. In winter - a sweater and boots. In the warmer months, you can afford a more fluffy skirt. In winter, use more restrained models in your wardrobe. The only thing you need to wear such a skirt is a good figure.
