DIY Tulle Skirt 

I never thought it would be that easy of a process. Looks gorgeous! I'm definitely going to try it :)

What a waste. Doesn't tell you how to close at the waist. If you sew without stretching the elastic as you sew, you cannot stretch the elastic to put it on.

I was told to buy at least ten yards Glad I read the comments before I started cutting and sewing

In the process of making mine!! love it, can't wait to enter the contest!!!!!

I think using a zigzag stitch is better for this shirt because a zigzag stitch would stretch which with the elastic and a straight stitch doesn't do that.

+ModaMob I had NO IDEA that these were so easy to make!!

Okay Michael, I love you and all...and thank goodness I am a Fashion Designer so I totally get what was done! However, you completely threw me off with that tiny lil skirt and then stated it should look like the skirt on the dress form...LOL!!! Please be more descriptive in your next tutorial and explain that yours is just a sample or small version of the completed garment.

You need to also take into account the hip size.....make sure the elastic stretches to go over the hips or you wont get it off/on.

Very Helpful. I Think Im Gonna Make One For Easter. Thanks!!

Thank you! You made it look so easy! Will be trying thins

Omg I'm about to make this ur such an inspiration!

I got the hand sewing machine n for free :) going to try this and see how it turns out. I hope i can use the sewing machine

love the set of diy

Nice! For the woman before who said it isn't tulle, it is tulle and they didn't stretch the elastic while sowing that's why the stitching didn't fall apart.

Great tutorial and so simple. That skirt was super super cute. xx Lissanylon

I agree with other people who have made the comment that this won't fit over the hips. You need to stretch the elastic as you are attaching the pre-gathered tulle. This would make it very bunched up around the waist though. This is how I would do it. I would pre gather the tulle then attach it to a longer than waist band - long enough to go over my hips. I would fold this over into a tube, then insert elastic. You could just insert elastic into the back if you wanted a flatter front.

You cannot sew a straight stich across elastic as soon as you stretch the elastic at all you'll start popping your stitches and I agree that does not look like tulle.

I'm so going to try this. It seem easy.

beautiful...thankyou for sharing this video...very helpful.

Luv it!!

luv it going to make me one now that i found out how to do it this way its better sewn the knotted

Thank you so much... I ll try it out soon.😍😍😍

He forgot to tell you that when sewing the elastic you have to pull and stretch it, otherwise the elastic won't be able to stretch defeating the purpose... Oh and don't forget to make the elastic shorter than your waist. When you sew the elastic it will stretch a little and you don't want the waist to be too loose.

Oh ok. Thank you il check it out. Yhanx for your reply xoxo

Just Amazing thank u ♡

THANK YOUUUUUU FOR THIS VID!!!!! XD

Ok, as I understand it from looking at a ba-ZILLION other tutorials on this.... measure the elastic at the waist, BUT when pinning the tulle on, push the elastic down to the widest area on the hips and pin the tulle on, THEN sew. This way, when you sew the tulle onto the elastic, the threads will not snap and break under pressure while putting the skirt on. Make sense?? If not, let me know.

merci on manque de tutoriels de ce genre en france !! je vais tenter

very simple and nice

What about lining?

Great video""

You will have a difficult time pulling this skirt over your hips. Advise/Suggestions: Measure the elastic waistband to fit your waist. Sew however many inches of tulle to fit around your hips(not your waist measurements). Then sew the waistband closed and wrap it around your hips. Attach the tulle to the waistband while its on your hips. Afterwards, sew the waistband and tulle together. Dont forget to stretch out the waistband while sewing the tulle on it.

amazing

How do u close it?? Do u do a regular straight stitch down the back seam??

Very simple im doing this :)

could you just take the tulle underneath the elastic (that is your waist and then some) and stretch the elastic as you sew to create the gathering; or is that not the same? and could you incorporate that to a double layered skirt?

Awesome! This is going to be very helpful when i made my dress for my formal Just wondering, to make it hi-lo skirt, do i just cut the front part or is there more too it?

How do you close the skirt? Does is just overlap?

Very interesting. It worth to try

I DID MINE THE EASY WAY AND TIED IT ON A BELT

This is so easy am going to make me one . Do you put linen underneath the skirt?

how do you add more tulle to make it fuller? ModaMob

How do you close it? Do you stitch the elastic and the tulle on the whole length?

your supposed to gather it while your sewing on the waist band

Do you zig zag stitch the tulle as well or can you straight stitch that before sewing onto the elastic?

I wanna make one for myself

do i use 'normal' stitch or zig zag? and can i layer my tulle if i don't want to put n a lining underneath?

Question... Could this idea be used to make a short dress longer. Like you make a tulle skirt and just slip it on over the dress ands on to your waist? My school is having a crush dance and we have to wear long dresses and I bought a short white one shoulder dress and I don't want to be the odd one out by wearing a short dress!! Can you help me out?!?!

Is there any way to layer the skirt so it's not so sheer and there's more "umph?"

plz add complete vidoe

i cant understand tell me onthing lastic stiching is one side stiched or not

0:24 he said "a scissors".....

No no to the straight stitch. It doesn't allow the tulle to go over the hip area without the stitches popping out. A zigzag or stretch stitch works well for this.

SO MUCH MORE easyr if yu just do a straight stitch the desired length of the waist across the tool then pull your bobbin thread this will create effortless gathering lol

what do you do to the ends of the elastic to attach them together over lap them?

Is there a tutorial for the bodysuit/leotard?

Where did he purchase that belt?

How about the lining? Still see through even it's gathered

This doesn't make sense. The gathered tulle has no stretch on a straight stitched line, so sewing pre-gathered tulle straight onto the elastic will eliminate any stretch the elastic would have had. Also, he didn't show how it is to be finished. He said nothing about the hemming or even sewing up the back seam. If you sew it up straight and it doesn't stretch, you have no way to fit it on over your hips. This tutorial is worthless.

where is this belt from?

he didnt mention what you would do to close of the back at the end, youll need to sew it up...?

osm video

He was on project runway

PLEASE ANYONE, DON'T TRY IT! You will only waste material and get frustrated if you are not familiar with sewing. He dosen't know what he is saying. First, if you are not using an appropriate foot, the straigh stitch on the waistband will make the elastic loose it's capacity of stretching. You must pull the elastic while seing it with stright stitch. Second, you shouldn't leave the hem under the waistband unfinished. It will hurt you. For prventing that do a appropriated waistband with fabric. Thrid, he forgot to say that you have to close the side of the tule before making the waistband. Or you want it to be open while you walk? And last, raw edges in some kinds of tulle might rip off easily. You should finish the seam/hem

Do you pull this on? How does it fit over the hips?

I was wondering with the processes of gathering like will I need to get a little extra tulle I need a little more detail

i want to see more vidoes

So many people asking the same question but I'll ask again.... If I'm pre- gathering up to make 26" of gathered tulle, even if I stretch the elastic as I sew it, the pre-gathered tulle isn't going to stretch more than 26" to come up over my hips first.... Far out I wish I'd have thought about his terrible technique before I started cutting and sewing, I've just wasted $60 of bridal tulle for this skirt that won't work now :(

The waist needs to be able to expand over the hips, mine had to be taken apart. I was very disappointed.

Is there no lining under the skirt? What can you put underneath the skirt to keep it from being transparent?

I will try without sewing machine

what type of tulle is this? the one i have is very stiff, starchy and too poofy when bunched, that one looks soft, and it drops :(

Hola sebe para salir y elegante

is that the guy that was on project runway

and plz add maxi cutting and stiching

I think so, zigzag stitch is better for this Skirt.

Hi

Did you add a plain tank top on the mannequin? It looks like a dress, I love it

I was wondering how they cut the tulle to be so perfect, because that's not as easy as it looks. I'm disappointed they didn't explain. :/

What do you wear under the skirt???

omg

how many yards is the tulle on the mannequin? ModaMob

so cut

hi

plz add cutting

This makes plenty of sense. There are several "panels" of tulle sewn to the length of the elastic. The finished product is again, panels of tulle sewn to the waist length elastic. Easy peasy! The closure of the skirt comes together when you sew the elastic closed.

WHAT TYPE OF TULLE IS THAT ?

KELLCIE

Is that tulle or chiffon?

ehmmmm can u even put this on when u dont stretch the elastic?!?!?!

i watched this designer from american programme but i forgot his name

You really should sew a ribbon on the inside of the skirt, around your waist (so behind the elastic, on top of the tulle) because tulle is really going to irritate your skin if it's on contact with it and you move; it chafes a lot.

what about hemming? hello
