Ideas for creating beautiful products from tulle

Inexperienced needlewomen do not always understand what to sew from tulle. But there are many options, among which the most popular and simple option is a skirt. To make diverse models, it is worth using unique sewing techniques. After determining what can be sewn from tulle, it is worth getting to work. Each situation has its own algorithm.

Calculating the amount of tulle for a skirt

In order for a tulle skirt to be the right size without huge remnants of the main material or without its shortage, it is worth calculating the textile. What will affect the numbers:

• The shape and splendor of the model.
• Fabric stiffness.
• Number of tiers.
• The size of an item, which is determined by the user's parameters.

A full calculation is made in accordance with these parameters.

Amount of lining material

If a lining material is used, then its quantity must be calculated correctly. Much depends on the type of fabric chosen for sewing the lower part of the product. It can be satin, stretch, silk.

The usual option for a petticoat is satin. Its quantity depends on the size and shape of such a skirt.

How to sew a tulle skirt

There are several ways to make an airy skirt. There are even the most basic manufacturing options.

Here you don't have to use an overlock, since tulle doesn't require any special processing. The material is not divided into threads at the cut points.

From rectangles

Making a skirt from tulle rectangles is the easiest, since the creation algorithm consists of the following steps:

1. Cut strips from the mesh material. The width of each element should not be large - about 15-20 cm. The length of the strip will determine the length of the product, but it must be multiplied by 2.
2. Measure a wide elastic band around your waist. Sew the edges together.
3. Make small cuts along the elastic band along the entire perimeter. Their number should = the number of prepared tulle strips.
4. The skirt should be assembled as follows: Pull the strips of material through the cuts and secure them with knots.

For the doll

A doll can become a real ballerina if you make a tutu for it. In this case, the sewing procedure is limited to a few manipulations:

1. Cut several strips, the length of which will be 5-6 times greater than the girth of the doll's body.
2. Place all the strips on top of each other and sew the elements together at the top using a running stitch.
3. Tighten the thread until the item fits the doll's figure. Secure it with a knot.

Hide the unsightly seam with a satin ribbon. Leave long tails so that you can tie the belt into a bow.

Tutu skirt for girls

How to sew a tulle tutu for a girl, which will be a great option for going to a dance or a matinee:

1. Cut many strips of material that will be 6 times longer than your waist circumference and the width will resemble a nesting doll.
2. Sew each row on a sewing machine, forming folds by placing fabric over it.
3. Then assembly takes place - all rows are sewn together.

A rainbow tutu can be created using the same principle. Multi-colored strips of tulle are used in the creation process.

Tutu skirt for newborns

After the birth of the baby, parents usually hold the first photo sessions, thinking through all the images. You can create a whole cloud of impressions without much effort using a pack.

To make such a costume, you can use the simplest scheme - making a tutu using the principle of tying rectangles onto an elastic band.

Short tutu skirt made of tulle with elastic band for teenager

Even a teenage girl is unlikely to refuse an airy tutu skirt. How to sew such a wardrobe item for a teenage girl:

1. Sew a petticoat from shiny lining material. The item should be spacious and light.
2. Make a pattern from tulle in the shape of a half-sun or sun. You can make several rows.
3. Sew half-sun/sun-shaped elements to the petticoat.

To hide the top and middle row of lightweight material, you can sew an elastic band in the waist area.

Fluffy skirt for an adult

Tulle material can be a wonderful base for creating a unique skirt for an adult woman. There are absolutely incredible models that can only be worn for a masquerade. But there are also other options in a discreet style for everyday wear:

1. Select lining fabric and tulle to match.
2. Sew a fluffy trapezoid-shaped petticoat.
3. The pattern is made from mesh material according to the shape of the petticoat.
4. The top "shawl" is sewn onto the lining material.

The finished product can be used to create extravagant everyday looks and festive outfits.

Tutu skirt

A tulle fluffy cloud for a girl, teenager or woman can be made in a matter of hours. And you don't need to sew anything at all. The elementary technique will help you create the so-called "tutu" skirt:

1. Prepare a wide satin ribbon, the length of which will be 3 times the model’s waist circumference.
2. Cut many strips of tulle. They can be the same or different lengths.
3. Fold each strip in half, attach it to the tape and pull the ends through the formed hole. It is worth grabbing the tape when doing this.
4. Knit as many stripes as needed to form a complete silhouette for the waist circumference.

The skirt is attached using the wrap-around principle. Wrap the ribbon around the waist and tie it into a bow.

Model with large frills

The model with large frills can be sewn in several ways. The simplest master class:

1. Sew each frill along the edge with neat stitches and pull the thread together to form gathers.
2. Cut out the base of the A-shaped silhouette from elastic, dense fabric of the corresponding color.
3. Fold the top into a drawstring and thread an elastic band through it.
4. Sew a frill onto the base.

You can sew a wide ribbon along the edge of each layer. This will add even more volume to the product.

Seamless model

In order not to worry about how to sew tulle, it is worth using the same principle as when sewing a tutu for a teenager. You can use this pattern:

You can make several pieces, which are then sewn together in the waist area.

How to decorate a skirt

It is not always appropriate to use tulle decor on a mesh base, so it is better to choose brighter decorative elements - beads, sequins, beads, rhinestones, satin and satin ribbons. Beads can be sewn along the edge of the skirt or along the entire perimeter. Rhinestones and sequins can be arranged according to the same principle. Satin ribbons are mainly sewn as piping along the edge of the petticoat or form a belt with a lush bow. The decoration should not be too active, since the details of the decorations will weigh down the lush texture of the main material.

What to wear and combine with

Tulle products are very popular among young fashion designers, who successfully combine them with any type of clothing. Regardless of the "fashionable" year, it is worth considering the following features of combining a tutu with a top:

• You can wear a regular T-shirt of any color. The main thing is that it is plain and simple cut.
• As a top, you can use T-shirts, tops or corsets.
• A tulle dress can be a great option for an evening outfit that will go well with calm accessories.

A light decoration will be an ideal option for creating a bright and unusual look.

Tulle clothing is a universal type of clothing that can be worn in everyday life, used in photo shoots, at parties. To make such a thing yourself, you do not necessarily have to have professional hands of a master. Even a beginner can cope with the principle of creating multi-faceted tutus from tulle.
