Use the marks to line up your waistband with your fabric and pin with 4 straight pins at each mark (you'll pin the bottom inside edge of the waistband onto the top of the fabric layers. Do the same with the inside edge of your waistband. Step 4 Use marking chalk to mark 4 equal sections on the waistline of your tulle circle. Trim the ends to 1/2" long, fold the ends down, pin in place, and sew those down to flatten them. Wiggle out of the elastic and sew it together at that point. Step 3 To make your waistband, pin the elastic around your natural waist so that it feels snug but not too tight. Either hem the lining so it's shorter than the tulle, which is what you want, or serge it on a serger or baby lock machine.
Step 2 Cut out as many layers as you want for the tulle. Unfold the tulle, and you should have a giant tulle donut! Use fabric scissors to cut along the waistline and bottom hemline. If you can't find a tulle wide enough to get a square as big as you need, you'll have to sew two pieces side by side first before cutting your square down to size.įold your large square in half, and then in half again, and place the pattern so that the corner with the middle of the square is near the waistline of the pattern. The number of squares you have determines the number of layers your skirt will contain, so buy your fabric yardage accordingly. Using the example numbers above, you would need a square that was 57" wide (28.5 x 28.5 = 57) when unfolded. Cut out your pattern paper.Ĭut squares of tulle that are big enough to fit your paper pattern when the the square is folded in half, and then folded in half again to make a smaller square that is 1/4 the original size. Repeat the process from the same corner to find the bottom of your skirt line, but add the waist measurement to your total skirt length for that number (so if your length is 22" and your waist measurement is 6.5", then measure out 28.5"). Then measure your hip measurement out from one corner (just keep pivoting the ruler to make lots of marks and connect the dots at the end to get your rounded edge). Step 1 Use craft paper to cut a large square. What You Need: Tulle Lining (same color of tulle) craft paper scissors elastic (1"-1.5" thick) straight pins marking chalk This project requires a sewing machine but that doesn't mean that it's a hard project. Note to self, when making this and shooting a selfie, HOLD A DOZEN GOLDEN YELLOW ROSES! This is such a fun and elegant way to wear a tulle skirt! Using black fabric tulle keeps it classy without looking like a tutu or a costume.
