I promised to show you the tulle skirt tutorial from yesterday’s post. I found it very simple to make after my usual trial and error.

You’ll need:

* 6 yards of tulle (if you want 4 layers and the skirt to be knee length)
* 1.5 – 2 yards of lining
* 1.5″ – 2″ width elastic (enough to wrap around waist when stretched)
* Scissors
* Thread
* Pins

1. Cut the tulle into 1.5 yard pieces.
2. Fold one tulle piece in half, and then fold it again. Repeat for all pieces.

3. Measure your natural waist. (Make sure to measure accurately so you have enough material to fit around your waist!) Divide your waist in INCHES by 6.28. This will give us a radius.
*RADIUS=WAIST in INCHES/6.28*
4. Cut out your skirt using your waist radius by following the diagram below.

5. When you open the tulle, you should end up with a ‘bagel’ shape. The smaller circle will be the skirt’s waist.
6. Repeat the steps above for the lining. (I made my lining a couple inches shorter than the tulle length.)
7. Sew the tulle layers together with a straight stitch.
8. Measure and cut your elastic. Sew the two ends together using a zig-zag stitch.
9. Start by sewing the tulle layers to the wrong side of the elastic band, stretching the elastic as you go. This way when you flip the elastic to the right side, the tulle layers sit on top.
10. Sew the lining over the tulle layers. Hem the lining if it needs it.

And you’re done!
