How to sew a petticoat on rings. How to sew a tulle petticoat with your own hands? Tutu skirt or petticoat without a sewing machine

Lush petticoats are different types: hard and soft, fluffy and smooth, with tiers and frills. Which to choose? It all depends on the destination. Simplest fluffy petticoat- This is a rectangle of fabric, gathered at the waist, the top is gathered with an elastic band. Puffy skirts in the New look style were very popular in the 50s and 60s. Mostly they were worn with petticoats, which made these skirts so fluffy. In addition, the petticoat replaces the lining.

From a real master class authored by Svetlana Khatskevich , you will learn how to sew a puffy midi-length petticoat - with frills. It can be sewn from both hard and soft tulle. The advantage of a fluffy petticoat with frills is that it is completely made of soft tulle, so it is light, fluffy and comfortable to wear.

View from the inside

In this design, all seams are under the frills with outside petticoat, and a whole half-sun skirt goes to the body. Due to the frills overlapping each other, a soft transition is obtained from one frill to another. In addition, due to the large number of layers and the density of frills, the petticoat becomes opaque, which allows it to be used for dresses made of transparent fabrics - tulle, chiffon, lace.


The bottom of the petticoat turns out to be very “thick”, multi-layered, in short skirts it can be made peeking out from under the overskirt, which will add elegance to the dress.

The scheme of the cut of the fluffy petticoat

The disadvantage of a petticoat with frills is one: it will need a lot of fabric:

  • for a long petticoat made of hard tulle: approximately 4.5 m with a width of 3 m;
  • for a long petticoat made of soft tulle: approximately 7.5 m with a width of 3 m.

The basis of a lush petticoat is a half-sun skirt. Rows of frills are sewn on it. The top of the skirt is gathered with an elastic band.

To build a skirt, we need to calculate two radii:
Radius 1 (R1) - for the waist under the elastic, so the girth of the skirt at the top should be such that the skirt is easy to put on.
Take the circumference of the hips (OB) + 10 cm,
hence R1 = (OB + 10): 3.14
Radius 2 (R2) is the bottom of the skirt, so it is equal to the length of the skirt plus R1
R2= R1 + Skirt length (see diagram)

We fold the fabric in half and draw two radii from the upper edge of the fold, give an allowance of 1-1.5 cm along the waist and side. An allowance is not needed along the bottom, the bottom of the tulle is not processed.

Cut out the skirt

We unfold the skirt in one layer and mark the places for sewing frills. To do this, we retreat down 10-15 cm from the waist, draw a line. The top, longest frill will be sewn along it. We divide the remaining length of the skirt into three parts if the skirt is on the floor and into two parts if the skirt is over the knee. I got 27 cm. We draw lines at regular intervals (see diagram). The bottom frill is the shortest, in my case it is 27 cm, then comes the middle frill, which completely overlaps the bottom frill, it is twice as long (54 cm)


Further, these frills are covered by the upper, longest frill, it is three times longer than the lower frill (81 cm).

We calculate the length of each frill.
To do this, you need to measure the length of the line along which the frill is sewn. The frill should be three times as long as this line. Therefore, for the lower frill, we cut out three strips of 3m each. Total length of the lower frill = 9m.

For the middle - two lanes of 3m. Total length of the middle frill = 6m
For the top frill you need one strip with a length = 3m

To make the fluffy petticoat opaque, the base (semi-sun skirt) can be cut out of the lining fabric, and tulle frills can be sewn onto it. The consumption of tulle in this case will be reduced to 3 m. But since I have soft tulle, I need thicker frills, so I make them double, with a fold in the middle. To do this, I double the width of each frill. This increases the consumption of fabric, but the petticoat becomes twice as magnificent. Since tulle weighs little, the skirt remains light, but very fluffy (see frill cutting pattern).

Sewing a petticoat

On the half-sun skirt, mark the places for sewing frills. Spread out the skirt in one layer. Do not sew the skirt before sewing on the frills! It is more convenient to sew frills on a flat piece of a skirt.

Sew the parts of each of the frills into one long one. To do this, the short ends of the frills are superimposed on each other by 5 mm and adjusted to each other with an overlay seam. Do not sew frills into the ring! Fold each frill in half lengthwise and iron along the fold. Then unfold in one layer and lay the seating line along the fold with the widest stitch on the machine.

Put the frill on the skirt in expanded form like this. So that the edge of the frill coincides with the edge of the skirt, and the middle of the frill with a line - with the marking line on the skirt. Pin the frill to the skirt with pins across the stitching, retreating along the side of the skirt 1-1.5 cm from the edge. This is necessary in order to sew the skirt along the seam in the future, without capturing the frills.

It is convenient to divide the skirt into 4 parts and the frill into 4 parts (in half and again in half), pin the frill along the edges and along these four equal parts, and then pull the thread and evenly distribute the assembly in these areas. So the frill throughout the skirt will be collected evenly. You need to pin the frill often so that it does not move.

Sew the frill to the skirt on the typewriter with a frequent stitch, remove the pins and the landing line. Turn the frill down and iron the fold. If the frill is single-layer, then it is shirred along the upper cut and sewn onto the skirt along the marking line. In this case, it is necessary to allow 1 cm of allowance for the long cut of the frill!

If you want only the edge of the sun or half sun skirt to be lush, you can sew such a petticoat with only one frill. For example, a petticoat for a dress for the summer, a light skirt or a children's dress. The edges of the frills coquettishly look out from under the skirt and hold the edge of the upper skirt.

In exactly the same way, sew on the middle frill, turn it down and iron it.

Such a petticoat can be used for more fluffy skirts, for example, tatyanka, sun or half sun.

In this case, a conical effect is achieved - the skirt fits the figure at the waist, and gradually expands towards the bottom.

If you need a fluffy skirt from the waist, you need to sew another frill. It is the longest, covers all the lower ruffles, but is not included in the assembly at the waist, so the waist remains thin. The extension starts just below the waist. We sew it in the same way as the two previous frills.

Now you need to chop and stitch the seam of the skirt. Since we sewed the frills, stepping back from the side cuts of the skirt to the width of the allowance, they do not enter the seam. The seam allowances for soft tulle are simply ironed out, and for hard tulle, it is better to turn over the allowance so that it does not prick.

Lush petticoat belt

We take an elastic band 3-4 cm wide, cut off +3 cm along our waist. We put the ends of the elastic bands on top of each other by 1.5 cm and grind them with a zigzag seam.



We prick the upper edge of the skirt on the elastic in 4 places, then stretch the elastic to the cuts of the skirt and sew the edge of the skirt on the elastic in a zigzag, preferably with two lines - along the edge of the fabric and along the lower edge of the elastic. It is better to stitch the tulle on the outside of the elastic band so that it does not prick at the waist in the sock.


It remains to sew the layers of frills so that they become solid. We put the edges of the frills at the seam of the skirt on top of each other and grind with an overhead seam.

Or a hobby related to rock and roll. After all, models with just such an element received another development in the 50s of the last century. And before that, back in the 16th century, petticoats were used to shape ordinary products. With their help, the female figure received a thin waist and rather lush hips. In addition, a fluffy element of underwear the best way brightened up the flaws of the silhouette.

Before sewing a petticoat, you need to choose the right material for it. Usually, cotton articles are taken for this, because. they are cheap enough, silk, lace, mesh, or a combination of both will also work. In the latter cases, especially when using lace materials, the cost of the resulting product can be sky-high. The general rule is that the lighter the fabric of the main skirt, the stiffer the fabric of the petticoat should be.

After choosing the material, you need to decide on the length of the product. It may be shorter or longer skirt, if made of beautiful fabric or has spectacular ruffles. How to sew a petticoat so that the silhouette looks harmonious? To do this, it should not be very short (usually the length is not taken less than 0.5 meters for adult options for medium height). Next, we buy fabric. For the most common model - “Tatyanka”, which is a simple, wide skirt gathered at the waist, you need a length equal to three centimeters hip circumference at the seams. The width of the material in this case will be the minimum length of the future product.

If you want to know how to sew a petticoat correctly, then you should start with pre-treatment of the fabric. Cotton samples must be pre-washed. Steam all fabrics to determine the possible shrinkage of the material. Next, the desired length is cut off, and the resulting rectangle is folded front sides inside. The side sections are overcast, after which they are stitched together at a distance of two to three centimeters from the edge. The seam undergoes heat treatment with steam.

How to sew a petticoat quickly? To do this, you do not need to think about the complex processing of the belt. It is processed to the hem, so that there is a space of one and a half centimeters for threading the elastic (with the help of followed by stitching the ends). In some models, you can make several seams for elastic bands located one above the other. The lower edge of the product is also processed with a wide hem seam, into which, for rigidity, you can insert a fishing line or crossbar - a corset plastic strip.

How to sew a mesh petticoat? In principle, exactly the same as from ordinary fabric. However, if the mesh is rigid, then many craftswomen prefer to make an underskirt on a yoke, which does not create additional volume in the waist and hips. Such a petticoat should be shorter than the main product, because. the peeping mesh does not look aesthetically pleasing. If the model requires that the petticoat made of such material be visible, then the hem must be decorated with a narrow strip of lace along the entire length.

The petticoat is a functional element hidden by clothing and giving it volume, splendor, and a clear shape. It was used for many centuries in a row, wearing under women's dresses which we can see in paintings and old photographs. Today, in the era of fashion practicality, it can be useful not only for theatrical or masquerade wardrobe. The petticoat adds volume to skirts on traditional wedding dresses and 1950s-inspired clothing. This is an obligatory part of the “princess dress” for girls, and multi-layered tutus, sewn using the same technology, can also be used as a separate piece of a festive wardrobe.

Petticoat classification

  • According to the degree of rigidity - soft and dense.
  • By volume - smooth or lush.
  • In length - it depends on the model of the dress or skirt.
  • By design - with frills, tiers, a train.
  • By the complexity of manufacturing. The easiest way is to create a simple trapezoid from a rectangle, the top of which is sewn on an elastic band, as well as models with rings, tiers, flounces require a lot of labor.

When sewing a petticoat, a lot depends on the materials used. Therefore, you need to know how to choose the right fabric.

The choice of fabric for the petticoat

Depending on the density of the material, the outfit element makes the whole set more or less lush. Rigid tulle, mesh or similar materials create an outlined "bell". With their help, you can really make voluminous thing. If the material is soft, the lower additional element will give nice shape dress in the style of Dior's "new look", with A-line silhouette or flared bottom. This will give the image femininity, help to emphasize the thinness of the waist, “hide” heavy hips and balance the disproportion between broad shoulders and a narrow back.

Too soft fabrics are not very suitable for modeling fluffy clothes. The finished element simply will not perform its function. Therefore, most often petticoats are sewn from tulle. Due to the rigidity, the material holds its shape, even if it wrinkles a little, and appearance The top of the outfit remains the same throughout the event. This is not the most pliable fabric to work with, so experienced craftsmen recommend practicing before sewing a fluffy petticoat from it. Carefully stitching tulle must first be learned.

Due to its rigidity, the material can tear thin tights and scratch the skin on the legs. For this reason, it is worth providing a “layer” between the petticoat and the body. There are soft varieties of tulle - they go well for creating frills. The finished fragment will turn out to be airy, light, pleasant to the touch, not restricting movements. If you need to make a very rigid frame, choose a model with hoops - it is constructed from a mesh interspersed with transverse wire rings. For beginners, it is advisable to experiment with easy-to-make varieties - for some, you don’t even need a sewing machine.

Plain petticoats

If you do not have a typewriter and you have no idea how to sew a petticoat, you should not immediately abandon the idea. In this case, a pack model will suit you - for it you only need a needle with threads, tulle and an ordinary elastic band like a hat. It is necessary to measure the waist and add 3 cm to its girth - this is the length of the elastic band. It is connected with a ring, and the fabric is cut into strips 4-5 cm wide, sewn to an elastic band. You can make transverse layers, but you will need more fabric, as it is cut along the length of the thing and the parts are placed on top of each other.

With the ability to handle the machine, you can use it to make a petticoat with your own hands - quickly and easily. For beginners fit style"Tatyanka" is the simplest. For him, you need to take measurements for the girth of the hips, determine the desired length of the product and calculate the width of the fabric at the waist. To do this, the girth value along the hips is multiplied by the assembly factor. It, as a rule, is in the range from 1.5 to 3.5 and depends on the necessary splendor of the skirt. You also need to leave a margin for seams.

Before making a petticoat, the fabric is ironed. If it is cotton, then it is pre-washed.

Progress

  1. Cut the fabric with a rectangle and overcast along the seam (side, double).
  2. Fold the side slits right side up, sew with a wide stitch and align the cut.
  3. Turn the seam inside out, lay the second line, stepping back from the edge about 6 cm. Iron.
  4. Process the top cut of the skirt into a hem, leaving a margin for the elastic band, wrapping it up and stitching.
  5. Thread the elastic and fasten its ends.
  6. Process the bottom edge - for rigidity, you can sew along the edge of the fishing line, regilin.

With the help of such an element, you can add volume to the half-sun skirt, only for splendor you will have to use several layers or hoops. Rigid rings are not always comfortable, often interfere with sitting down and walking. To add volume, a fluffy tulle petticoat is more suitable.

Lush tulle model

To make a voluminous tulle petticoat with your own hands, you will need to cut frills from this fabric. They are sewn on a lining of coarse calico, cambric, silk or other thin fabric. You will also need an elastic band in the belt (there is room for it under the drawstring) and sewing supplies. Ready product can be decorated with lace or satin ribbon.

Before sewing a tulle petticoat, you need to determine the height of the frill. It is calculated by the distance between the tiers. You can not narrow the strips too much, otherwise they will puff up. Measurements on the figure are carried out according to the example of a half-sun skirt pattern - the length of the product from the waist and the girth along the hips. The width of the frills is determined by reducing the length of the item by a factor of three. The lining is 1/3 of the product, and each tulle element is 2/3. If you need to make a fluffy petticoat, increase the number of frills by thickly fitting them one on top of the other. The lowest strip should be the most magnificent, in total, from 3 to 8-10 elements are cut out.

Progress

  1. Cut out two lining pieces and sew along the short side.
  2. The fabric is tucked in width and a stitch is made 1 centimeter from the edge - this is a drawstring for an elastic band.
  3. Tulle is swept away, folds are formed, focusing on the desired outlines of a skirt with a petticoat.
  4. Each frill is fastened with a ring, the edge is processed and attached to the lining, starting from the bottom.
  5. They put in an elastic band, sewing its ends together and, if desired, edging the edge of the product with lace or satin ribbons.

Mesh petticoats with rings

If you do not like numerous frills, you can make the frame of the dress a single layer. You will need a mesh from which a skirt is cut out based on a “semi-sun”, “sun” or a model with six wedges (each of them is ¼ of the circle). A drawstring for an elastic band is sewn on the belt or a hidden zipper is made.

After creating a fabric frame, you need:

  1. turn the product inside out;
  2. attach a rigid ring of fishing line, regilin or similar material to the bottom edge;
  3. put on the ring satin ribbon, pin, and then stitch along the cuts at the top and bottom.

You can do otherwise. Stitch the seams first, then thread the rings. The hoops are sewn at the same distance from each other. If you additionally string frills, the dress or skirt will have softer outlines. The lower strip can be "showed" - in this case it is made longer by cutting out from the main fabric.

Petticoats, they are also petticoats in women's everyday life a long time ago, approximately, from the 18th century. And the fact that now they are back in fashion only confirms the fact of cyclicity. fashion trends like so many other things in history.

But the purpose and nature of use has changed a lot in modern times. After all, if the old times were characterized by the use of petticoats as an element of linen, an intimate thing hidden from prying eyes, details with a touch of eroticism, now they are purposely worn in such a way that they are conspicuous - now it is a stylish decor that emphasizes the rest an outfit that gives it playfulness and frivolity.

Depending on the purpose, petticoats are made from several different types of fabrics. But the most elegant, most magnificent and beautiful will come out only from tulle. Moreover, tulle is now available in such a variety of colors - from saturated and juicy to poisonous acidic bright ones, that you can choose your own shade or even a set of several for any skirt and make a gradient.

Thanks to several options for master classes, which are presented for you below, you can easily create the outfits that you have long dreamed of, you can sew a la fashion suits or wonderful dresses for your little princesses.

How to sew a simple tulle petticoat?

Required set:

  • 3m tulle on the petticoat;
  • 0.5 m of fabric per skirt;
  • 0.5 m narrow (about 1 cm) gum;
  • 3m satin ribbon for the bottom edge of the petticoat.

Why is tulle so much larger than the entire fabric for a skirt? Because, in order to be puffy, he needs to be attached under the skirt in an assembly of many folds.

Keep in mind, all figures are given as approximate - just so that you understand the proportions in which the prepared materials should be related. You can calculate the true numbers from independent measurements and compare them with these proportions.

The width of the details is determined as follows: measure the length of the skirt and divide it into 3 parts - 1 part will be the width of the skirt, the remaining 2 will be tulle.

The length of the tulle is calculated according to six waist circumferences, and the width is 2 parts from the previous measurement.

The fabric parts are sewn along the short side, and along the long side they are tucked up by about 1.5 and sewn so that a cavity for the elastic is obtained.

On the underside of the skirt, tulle is attached in uniform folds.

Using a pin or paper clip, place the gum into the cavity.

Now a satin edging is attached to the lower edge of the tulle and it remains only to stitch the fabric with tulle from the inside.

How to sew a fluffy tulle petticoat?

This petticoat will consist of tulle ruffles along the entire length.

You will need:

  • 1.5 m of lining fabric for the base;
  • 4.5 m tulle.

The base is needed for more comfortable wearing and in order to have a place where it is convenient and secure to fasten the tulle.

From the lining fabric, you will need to cut out 4 wedge-shaped flaps. Their sizes are calculated as follows:

  • length - less than the length of the skirt by 4-5 cm;
  • width - look at the style, but not too narrow so as not to restrict movement (the lining does not stretch).

Sew the patches together to get a uniform fabric.

From tulle, you cut strips 1.8 m by 30 cm, fold in half and sew to the base in even folds, from bottom to top, overlaying them so that the top covers the bottom by 4 cm. How many frills will be - count the length of the skirt.

How to sew a tulle petticoat according to a pattern?

What will be required:

  • 50 cm of fabric for the skirt;
  • 50 cm gum;
  • 250 cm satin ribbon;
  • about 3 m tulle.

A tulle petticoat, which can be sewn at home with minimal financial costs and sewing skills, will help to add splendor to the dress. So your dresses will look more airy and elegant.

Necessary materials for work

For sewing, you will need materials such as:

  1. Sewing machine;
  2. Scissors;
  3. Sewing chalk or cute;
  4. Plain or lining fabric - 1 m;
  5. Fatin - 4 m, depending on how the petticoat will be - lush or standard;
  6. Elastic band - 1 m;
  7. Satin ribbon - 4 m;
  8. Pin or paperclip;
  9. Needle and thread;
  10. Overlock or overlock foot.

Sizing

Before starting work, it is necessary to take measurements and calculate the width of the parts. First of all, measure the length of the petticoat itself, then divide this value into 3 parts, that is, the width of the backing fabric is 1/3 of the length, and the tulle is 2/3. Also measure your waist. Record the measurements.


Marking the line and future seams

With sewing chalk on the fabric, mark the necessary details. The height of the lining fabric should be equal to 1/3 of the length, and the width of the part should be equal to the waist circumference. The height of the tulle part is 2/3 of the length of the petticoat. To calculate the width, multiply the waist circumference by 6, this will be the width of the tulle you need to cut off.


Cut out the necessary details

From fabric and tulle, it is necessary to cut out the following details with scissors:

  1. From the lining fabric - 2 parts.
  2. From tulle - 1 detail (depending on the need for the splendor of the product).

If you need a more magnificent petticoat, cut two more strips of tulle, which in height should be equal to 1/3 of the length of the product as a whole.


Sewing fabric pieces

Using a sewing machine, we begin to sew the details of the fabric. First, we sew the side narrower - this is the belt of the petticoat, then the bottom, to which it is necessary to subsequently sew the tulle. From the upper side we grab about 1 cm in order to insert the elastic later.


Sew tulle to fabric

We sew the tulle to the fabric with a sewing machine, while you need to make folds of tulle in order to evenly distribute it. Having chosen the option of a petticoat more magnificent than usual, you need to sew one piece in the middle of the fabric part, and the second to the tulle in the middle.

Sewing on the inside

After all the details are sewn to each other, you should sew the tulle and fabric on the inside to make a skirt. Overlock all stitches.


We insert the rubber band into the product

Attach a pin to the end of the elastic band. We thread the elastic into the belt of the petticoat, where we left 1 cm. Having threaded it, it is necessary to tie the ends of the elastic, and cut off the excess elastic. Sew up carefully with a thread with a needle so that the elastic is not visible.
