Making a tulle skirt couldn't live simpler! For this projection nosotros used the Tulle Circle Skirt DIY instructions establish on A Beautiful Mess blog post - it has really clear pictures, which is a must for whatsoever skilful tutorial! We used So Fine #50 for stitching the skirts amongst Bottom Line pre-wounds inwards the bobbin. While making the skirts was fairly easy, I did uncovering that it got fifty-fifty easier when I kept the next inwards mind:

  • When cutting out the tulle, make certain you're using your sharpest scissors! You desire the lines to live construct clean together with smooth, non jagged.
  • When you lot cutting out your elastic, e'er make it an inch shorter than the waist size you lot want. The elastic stretches, together with the tulle doesn't, together with hence if you lot involve to sideslip the skirt over your hips to your waist, construct certain there's unopen to give!
  • Before sewing the elastic onto the layers of tulle, I establish it helpful to actually stitch the layers together, rather than simply pinning them. This way, you lot know that all the layers are together, together with you lot won't bring to unpick if you lot accidentally immature lady a layer piece sewing the elastic on. 
  • Really pull the elastic taut piece you lot are stitching the tulle to it! 
  • SoFine! #50 amongst Bottom Line inwards the bobbin is the perfect combination for have on projects! 

Little May was together with hence curious! She loved watching the sewing machine!
We used a serger, together with the novel Superior Threads job Sergin' General, to construct the linings for the tulle skirts.
