A simple tulle skirt for girls

In order to make a basic model, you don’t even have to sew anything.

For work you need:

• tulle - the exact footage depends on the desired length of the skirt, you can take ready-made tulle ribbons;
• satin ribbon 1-1.5 m - depending on the circumference of the child’s waist;
• scissors;
• cardboard with a height equal to half the desired length of the skirt.

Operating procedure:

1. Cut the tulle into strips 10-15 cm wide. It is most convenient to do this if you roll the roll and mark with tailor's needles every 10-15 cm. If you have ready-made ribbons, then skip this step.
2. Take a cardboard and tightly wrap tulle stripes on it, securing them with an elastic band for money. Cut strips on one side.
3. Continue until you have about 80 blanks.
4. Lay out the satin ribbon. Now take the tulle strip, fold it in half. Put the loop on the satin ribbon and thread the loose ends so that a knot is formed. Keep repeating until the material runs out or the desired volume is reached.

On this work is completed. This version of the tutu skirt for girls is good because the child can wear it for a very long time - the waist circumference can be changed as it increases, and the volume of the hips or length does not play a role due to the features of the style.

If you want to make it easier to put on clothes, then replace the satin ribbon with a wide elastic band.

Experiment with different color combinations - this will only make the result more interesting.

Interesting variations

Tutu skirts for girls often become the basis of themed costumes. For example, here’s how you can simply make Belle’s ball gown from Beauty and the Beast:

Here, take as a basis a wide elastic openwork bandage, which can easily be found on sale. Moreover, tulle of 2 shades of yellow is attached in several layers. This is possible due to the large number of rows of holes in the base. The top layer of ribbons is gathered and decorated with bows to imitate the ruffles of the dress, like a princess in a cartoon.

The dress of another crowned favorite of girls is made according to the same principle, but even more simply, without upper straplesses.

At the back, on top of the base bandage, one row of white tulle stripes is made to imitate Princess Elsa’s cloak.

How to sew a tutu skirt for a girl with your own hands?

If you know how to work with a typewriter and are familiar with the basics of cutting, you can make just such a charming model.

Materials:

• tulle 5 m;
• lining 1 m;
• dense knitted fabric 0.25 m;
• wide elastic - 1 m;
• sewing supplies.

The procedure for working with step by step photos

1. Cut the tulle into 10 pieces of 0.5 m wide each. Since we are considering how to sew a tutu skirt for an older girl, we note that the product should be quite long. If you need a shorter skirt, trim the tulle.
2. Now put in the machine a foot for ruffling or set the stitch length longer than usual, and make the thread tension weaker. Fold the tulle in half and sew the top edge, gradually connecting the pieces together. If you worked without a special foot, then in no case do not fasten the seam, and then gently pull the ends of the threads to pick up the skirt.
3. The width of the product should be equal to the waist circumference of the child + 15 cm. When you pulled the fabric to the desired size, sew its edges back and forth to close the circle.
4. Cut the lining material so that it is 2-3 cm shorter than the line of the end of the tulle, taking into account the seam allowance.
5. Sew it on the side to make a pipe from the fabric, then pick up the top in the same way as in the previous step with the top layer of the skirt.
6. Sew the tulle and lining together.
   
7. To skirt acquired a neat appearance, you need to make a belt. First, we cut it too wide to gently bend it later. So, cut 2 strips from the knitted material, equal in width to a half-waistline + 10 cm. Sew the short sides at a distance of 0.5 cm. Sew one side, leaving a hole for the elastic. Fold the resulting circle in half inside out and iron to outline a bend.
8. Now fasten the belt on top of the skirt and sew. Attention: the side with the hole for the elastic should be farthest from the edge of the tulle and the lining.
9. Now bend the belt along the ironed fold and sew a zigzag seam.
10. Pass the elastic (determine its length by trying on a child in a slightly stretched form + allowance for the seam), sew its edges. Decorate with a bow if desired.
    

Magnificent and simple

Look how elegant this cute skirt looks.

Do you think it's hard to do? In fact, it’s extremely simple to sew a pack of tulle for girls in this technique - you don’t even have to be able to make a straight line. If there is no sewing machine, then you can repeat the process manually, but it will take much more time.

Materials:

• dense fabric - 1 m;
• tulle - 4 m;
• wide elastic - 1 m;
• threads and other sewing accessories.

How to sew such a skirt?

The procedure is as follows:

1. Make a basic sun skirt. First, cut the “bagel” out of the fabric using a pattern of this kind.
   
   Here, the green bar is the radius of the inner circle, which is equal to the waist circumference of the girl + 5 cm at the seams, divided by 6.28. The pink line is the desired length of the skirt. Fold the fabric four times, attach the pattern and cut.
2. But if you sew the ruffles to the full “sun”, the skirt will turn out to be too big. Therefore, reduce its size by cutting out a sector equal to approximately 1/8 of the circle. Sew both sides and sew the bottom edge.
3. Now we decorate the base skirt. To do this, cut the tulle with ribbons and pin them on the surface, picking up all the time. But do not rush to fix too much fabric, sew it as you progress. Here's how it looks from the face and from the inside:
   
4. Since tulle is magnificent, it will easily close minor flaws, the main thing is that the threads match the color well.
5. Now measure the desired length of the elastic (+ allowance for the seam), pin it on the top edge of the skirt and stitch, slightly stretching.

After that, the skirt is ready.
