Sew along: self drafted tulle skirt

 

The idea

I had a lovely full length tulle skirt that sadly was to small for me. I thought I could make my own. I also will make one for my girl.

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 45 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.

Cutting the fabric.

After using a double layer of 4 meter long tule for my skirt I saw that it wasn't enough. I hoped in a smaller skirt it would be for my girl. I gathered 4 meters of tulle and wraped around the skirt twice. The skirt is a rectangular piece wider than her hips so it is easy to put on. The waistband is 53 cm and keeps the skirt up.
