Pattern review: self drawn tulle skirt

 

I wished the skirt was a bit fuller, bur perhaps it is enough for a little girls skirt. My girl loves it and calles it her princess skirt. 

The pattern

A tube skirt from satin with tulle overlay and gathered with an elastic waistband.

Additional info:

• To own sizes. I made a waistband accordingly to size 116.
• Recommended fabrics: a soft, slippery fabric for lining. Soft tulle. Soft waistband. 
  
• 1/4
• Draw yourself

The fabric

• ca 4 meter long 50 cm wide tule from budgetstoffen
• ca 70 cm wide and 40 wide tube skirt from satin from budgetstoffen
• ca 53 cm long waistband from budgetstoffen.

 

Instructions:

The lining skirt is just a rectangular piece. Not to difficult. Make it wide enough for wearing ease. 

I love the tulle, it is so soft and the color is gorgeous. It is thinner/lighter than I thought it would be. I could have used double the amount and it would look more of a full skirt and less seethrough. The waistband is also beautiful and soft. I used 4 meters of fabric over a bit over 50 cm of waistband. That is 8 times the width and not very much. 

Fit:

I made 116 waistband so I think it will fit her for a while. 

Conclusion

Love the tule and the waistband. Next time I double the amount. 

For this skirt is is 2 layers of 2 meters.

My skirt has six layers (three double layers) of 4 meters long
