How to sew a tulle skirt with your own hands
Sewing a tulle skirt with your own hands is quite simple. The main thing is to know the basics of sewing and have some mastery of operating a sewing machine. Step by step photos, videos and patterns will help you replenish your wardrobe with a new original tulle skirt.
Full tulle skirt
The easiest way to sew a full skirt is from tulle. This model is often called a shopinka, and according to appearance it resembles a stylish tutu. This option can be either long or short.
- First you need to study the sewing pattern and take a piece measuring 3 meters. He folds it lengthwise twice. This will allow you to form 4 layers of material. It will have a couple of cuts and a fold on one side, and 2 folds on the other side. This layout is attractive because it allows you to significantly save fabric.
- After cutting out the parts, according to the diagrams proposed above, you need to proceed step by step. On the lower parts of the skirt you need to stitch along the seam. The resulting allowances are trimmed to 5 mm, after which they need to be ironed on one edge. As for the second seam, it should not be sewn entirely. It is worth leaving the connector 18 cm in size. Lightning will crash here later.
- Next, the fragments (4 pieces) in the shape of a sun for the pack need to be stacked with each other. The landing line is made here. It is performed with wide stitches, after which the stitching is tightened to the size of the waist.
- Then, to create a fluffy tulle skirt, you need to connect the 4 lower fragments of the future product. The seams should touch each other. To begin with, they should be secured with special pins, and then you will need to sew them along the contour of the waist. Using the same principle, 4 layers of allowances are then sewn, which go under the zipper.
- The seam allowances for the zipper are basted and smoothed.
- Now you need to baste the zipper onto the allowances.
- The basting located under the lock is removed. The zipper will need to be unzipped and sewn immediately into all 4 layers of material.
- The top 4 layers of fabric along the waist are combined with the same number of “laps” along the lower edge of the tulle skirt. All layers of tulle for a skirt should be basted at the waist. Then they grind down. Next, all the upper layers of tulle, where the zipper will be, are cut along the entire length of the future lock.
- The resulting contours of the tulle cut must be folded and placed above the zipper. They are then secured with pins. The layers are then hemmed by hand and attached to the zipper. To do this, we use the blind stitch technique and use threads in the same color as the zipper and tulle.
- As in the photo below, the workpiece will turn out on the other side.
- Now you need to cut out the lining. It needs to be made in the form of a half sun. This option allows you to save fabric, despite the fact that the model will turn out to be voluminous, like a tutu or a version of a tutu with an elastic band. The radius of the fragment is equal to the waist circumference divided by 3.
- Next, the seam of the lining obtained using this principle should be stitched. Do not forget about the necessary cut into which the zipper will then be inserted. All allowances must be overcast and smoothed.
Note! The optimal solution for lining is a mesh type of knitwear. The attractiveness of this fabric is that it does not fray, and therefore the sections do not need to be processed.
- The tulle skirt, which is created to look like a tutu, is connected to the lining. In this case, the parts need to be sewn from the wrong side to the wrong side. First, the contours are swept away, and then thoroughly ground down at the waist.
- You need to secure the lining around the zipper. It is recommended to retreat 5 mm from the teeth. The part is hemmed to the zipper with a hidden stitch.
- Next, you need to treat the upper part with a fluffy and beautiful tulle skirt, reminiscent of a tutu model with an elastic band. To do this, the easiest way is to make a belt or make an edging based on grosgrain ribbon, which ideally matches the tone of the finished product. You can make a treatment based on the lining material. To do this, cut a strip from the fabric. Its optimal width is 10 cm. The piece is folded in half and ironed.
- The resulting belt is attached to the upper section of the tulle skirt with a couple of stitches. To the right of the zipper you need to leave a “tail” equal to 3 cm, and on the left side - 1 cm.
- The resulting part is smoothed upward. Then the belt is folded lengthwise and in half. In this case, the front sides of the part should look at each other. The ends are worn down.
- The edges of the belt are turned inside out. The fold of the part is pinned to the wrong side of the tulle skirt where the stitching seam runs. From the inside, the fold of the belt is sewn on a sewing machine or by hand.
- The long edge of the belt is disguised under the short side. A button or hook is also sewn on.
- Now you just need to align the lower edge of the tulle skirt, reminiscent of a ballerina’s tutu. If the lining is made of thick fabric, then the product should be allowed to sag for about a day. Then the lining is leveled from the floor and the bottom is stitched. Since tulle itself is very airy, light, almost weightless, the hem on the bias practically does not sag. That is why it is recommended to simply align all layers of the skirt so that each “layer” of tulle is equal to the other.
- That's it! Lush, airy, elegant skirt ready from tulle! As it turned out, if you use the master class and work step by step, it is quite possible to make such a wardrobe element with your own hands.
Note! If you have any doubts about the sizes, the best option It will be a tulle skirt with an elastic band. This is the current version of tutu.

The threads must be pulled out one at a time. In this case, the folds that form must be carefully straightened. The work must be done very carefully!
- The work is carried out until the length of the model’s circumference reaches the waist size. Now you should make knots on each side of the stitch. All excess threads are cut off with scissors. A similar procedure is performed with each piece of tulle for a future children's skirt for a girl.
- The resulting folds must be fixed. To do this, install on the sewing machine medium size stitch. Each piece of tulle for a children's skirt is stitched in individually. You should follow the line that has already been made.
- All 5 tulle blanks must be connected on the outside to each other. To do this, it is recommended to find the center of each fragment and fasten all the pieces in this place with a pin.
- The resulting parts and shiny tulle are stitched on a sewing machine along the upper contour.
- Now take the tape, fold it in half and iron it with a slightly heated iron.
- The resulting belt is secured with pins along the machine seam. The tape should cover it thoroughly. It is better to stitch the part twice so that it holds firmly and thoroughly.

Step 3. We sew (stitch) along the lower parts of the skirt, leaving allowances of up to 5 mm. We do not completely sew the second seam along the parts to leave a connector for the zipper (length 18cm).
Step 4 We put the top 4 parts of the skirt together and we lay the landing stitch with wide stitches. We tighten the stitches to the size of the waist circumference.
Step 5. Also fold the 4 lower parts of the skirt together, matching the seams. We pin the parts together and stitch them along the waist. We also sew 4 layers of zipper allowance.
Step 6. We sweep away the seam allowances for the zipper and go over them with a warm iron. We baste the zipper. Unzip it and sew the zipper into 4 layers of fabric.
Step 7. We connect 4 layers of lower with four upper layers of fabric at the waist.
Step 8. We throw and then go through a machine stitch.
Step 9. We cut the upper layers in the place where the zipper is sewn in.
Step 10. We fold the edges of the cut over the zipper and pin it.
Step 11. We sew by hand with a hidden seam.
Step 12. We make the lining using the half-sun model. We take the fabric to match the tulle. The radius of the part is equal to the waist circumference/3.
Step 13. We connect the lining parts, leaving a connector for the zipper. We smooth out the allowances or process the cuts.
Step 14. Place the lining on the skirt, back to back, and baste it, then sew it together at the waist.
Step 15. We prick the lining at a distance of 5 mm from the zipper teeth and hem with secret stitches.
Step 16 To process the top section of the shoppenka skirt, we cut out a strip of lining, 10 cm wide, fold it in half and iron it.
Step 17. Sew the belt with two sections to the top of the skirt. On the left side of the zipper leave 1 cm, on the right - 3 cm.
Step 18. Iron the waistband up, fold it right sides together and stitch the ends.
Step 19. We turn the ends of the belt inside out and pin the fold from the inside of the skirt over the seam. We hem the fold of the belt from the inside out by hand or by machine.
Step 20. Sew hooks or buttons onto the ends of the belt.
21 steps. The finished shoppenka skirt must be allowed to hang, and then trim all layers of tulle at the same level.
Step 22. The lining can be hemmed by machine.
We told you how to sew a tulle skirt for an adult. And right now we want to demonstrate a master class on how how to make a floor-length skirt for a girl. You can also try this model on yourself. After all, light and airy tulle skirts suit almost everyone: a fluffy circle skirt looks beautiful on thin girls, strict midi suits girls with curves, and a long floor-length skirt suits absolutely everyone.
To sew a skirt you need to prepare:
- tulle;
- light fabric from which the petticoat will consist;
- elastic band for the belt.
Determining the size of the future product
- We measure the length for the future skirt and petticoat from the waist line to the floor down. Fashion 2017 also offers skirts with a train, besides, there may be a petticoat medium length, and the skirt itself is maxi length.
- In our case, the length of the skirt will be 60 cm. If you are planning to sew a similar item for yourself, then the main women's The formula for calculating the length of a floor-length skirt is: height * 0.62.
- Thus, after measuring the length, we can calculate the fabric consumption. Multiply the length by 3.
- We will need 60 cm of fabric for the petticoat (assuming a length of 60) and tulle – 180 cm.
Let's move on to sewing
We can't do without sewing, so let's get started.
- Cut the tulle into 3 equal parts.
- Fold each piece of fabric in half, aligning the edges and then stitching them together.
- Fold 4 pieces of fabric one on top so that the seams match.
- Inside layers of tulle place fabric for lining.
- The seams and bottom edges on the pieces must match. The seams will be located in the back of the product.
- The top edge of the skirt must be sewn around the perimeter– there will be a belt in this place. For the seam we use light and large stitches, selecting threads of the appropriate color. If the skirt is pink, then the threads should match.
- Break the upper part of the skirt into small pieces with pins (seam inward).
- We measure the girl's waist and take the length of the elastic 4-5 cm shorter than the waist size.
- Sew the edges of the elastic with a zigzag.
- Straighten the folds on the skirt by pulling the bottom thread. Make sure the folds are neat and even.
- We also place the elastic very carefully, hiding all the bumps and uneven seams behind the belt.
- Sew the belt to the skirt, starting with the seam, which we made with a zigzag. As you work, stretch it a little so that it covers the entire width of the skirt.
- Inspect the finished result, remove excess threads.
- Enjoy your fitting!

Tulle skirt for girls without sewing
The heroine of our next master class will be a do-it-yourself tulle skirt for a girl. This lush attribute of a little princess gained such popularity in 2017 that we simply cannot help but show how to make a tulle skirt with your own hands. This time we won't need a sewing machine, because we will make a skirt without a single seam.
Prepare for work:
Getting the job done:
- Fold the tulle fabric into 10-15 layers and cut into 60-70 strips, measuring 20cm by 50cm.
- We take the elastic band from the calculation - child's waist size minus 4 cm and make a circle. We fasten the elastic band to the back or leg of the chair and begin tying the tulle strips.
- Fold the strip in half, fix it around the elastic band and tie it with 2 knots. Do not tighten too much so that the elastic is not overtightened. Next, using the same pattern, we continue to tie other ribbons.
- To make your tulle skirt look more neat and elegant, decorate it with a satin ribbon, which must be folded in half lengthwise and pulled through all the knots formed. The ribbon can be matched to the tone, or maybe in a contrasting color. For example, a red ribbon on a white skirt or a pink ribbon on a blue one.
- So that all tiers of the skirt are even, fold them into a fluffy ponytail and trim them evenly.
This ballet skirt has long stepped from the stage into the wardrobes of thousands of women. The tutu skirt, or rather its more suitable variety for everyday wear - the tunik, also known as the tutu, is a favorite of fans of the TV series Sex and the City.
The main character Carrie Bradshaw wore such skirts with T-shirts, T-shirts, and jeans, successfully diluting some of the pathos of the shoppenka with simple everyday things. And search engines still accurately return examples of chopins for the query “skirt like Carrie’s.” The heroine of the series was dressed by the world's best stylists, but you can make such a skirt yourself. We offer three ways to sew a shopinka with your own hands!
Method one: almost no sewing
Necessary:
- fabric for lining - satin will do, but you can experiment,
- elastic band for the belt.
1. This skirt is made without sewing, very quickly. We decide on the length of the elastic band that will hold the tutu skirt. It is important that it can be easily removed through the hips. Sew the edges of the elastic.
2. Determine the length of the skirt. We cut tulle ribbons 5-10 centimeters wide and twice as long as the desired length. We bend the finished ribbons in half and tie them with an elastic band. We do this until we completely cover the elastic with fabric.
3 . The tutu skirt is ready! It is also worth taking care of an opaque petticoat or wearing this skirt with tight tights or leggings! Manufacturing details can be seen in this video:
Method two: simple, but fattening
Necessary:
- the main fabric for the skirt is tulle,
- fabric for lining - satin will do, but you can experiment.
- Elastic band for the belt.
A very simple way is to cut out a “sun” skirt. Since tulle is often sold in rolls 2-3 meters wide, this will not be difficult. To create a pattern you need only two measurements: waist circumference and skirt length. We fold the fabric 4 times, to create a pattern we use the diagram:
1. We decide how many layers there will be in the skirt - so many “suns” and cut it. Since this type of cut is more suitable for fragile girls, and even people of average build are a little plump, it is better not to do more than three layers.
2. We prepare the lining: we cut it according to the width of our hips, along the length - 5 centimeters shorter than the chosen length of the skirt.
3 . Then there are two ways. First, we collect all the tulle skirts into one and fasten them with a belt to an elastic band sewn into a ring around the waist (it is important to check that the elastic stretches easily over the hips). We sew the finished design onto the lining skirt. We grind the edges of the lining (tulle does not need this). The skirt is ready!
4. By the way, tulle skirts can be made in different lengths - the longest one can be sewn closer to the lining, the shortest one - outward. The result is a skirt that resembles a three-tier cake.
Method three: suits any figure, but you have to work hard!
1. This method is somewhat more complicated. Tulle is not cut by the sun, but cut into strips. The first is the width of the expected length of the skirt, the length is two hip circumferences. The second one is 5 centimeters narrower than the first one, and the same length. The third is 5 centimeters narrower than the second, the same length.
2. Just like in the first and second cases, we sew a lining skirt, but there are two different options.
3. You can make a skirt that gathers at the waist with an elastic band - then it’s easier to make the petticoat regular, rectangular.
You can make a skirt that fastens with hooks - in this case it is better to cut the petticoat in the form of an a-line or straight - but take care of the darts so that the skirt sits well on the waist and hips. Then she won't fill up.
4. At the back or side we make an incision 5-10 centimeters deep, and depending on the curvature of your spine, we cut it to the point where the skirt can be removed “through the legs”. We grind the edges and sew on the hooks.
5. Now comes the hard part. We take strips of tulle, and, armed with a needle and thread, we begin to “gather” them, so as to bring their width to the approximate girth of our petticoat. You can watch how to squash in this video:
6. The sewing method from this video can also be adopted, but we do it a little differently. We plan that we will sew the first tulle skirt onto the petticoat closer to the waist, the second - 5 centimeters lower, the third - the same amount lower.
7 . After this, we connect the edges of the assembled tulle skirts and sew them together, leaving 5-10 centimeters free at the top for the very top skirt.
8. Now the finished tulle skirts need to be sewn to the petticoat - no longer by hand, but using a machine.
9 . Then we remove the threads that were used to gather the fabric.
10 . All that remains is to design the belt - you can sew a grosgrain ribbon to the finished skirt, which will be tied at the back. Or sew two ribbons together to make a rigid belt, and attach loops and hooks to the edges. We attach it to the finished skirt. It should look something like this:
