Sewing the Petticoat from Tulle(Underskirt)PART 4

Hello, This is Part 4 where we will be sewing the petticoat from tulle. This underskirt will provide the necessary volume for the dress. I will be sewing the parts using the French seam. I start aligning the skirt pieces from the top edge. After stitching the seams 0.5 cm from the edge, I turn the skirt piece inside out, align the skirt pieces along the seam, pin them with pins, and now, from the wrong side, I sew the seam 0.7 cm from the fabric fold. This way, the seam allowances will be hidden within the seam from the wrong side. I pressed the seams of the front part of the skirt towards the center front, and I pressed the side seams of the skirt towards the back panel pieces. The center edges of the back skirt panels also need to be finished. To do this, I fold the 0.5 cm seam allowance to the wrong side of the skirt and then fold it again by 0.5 cm. I sew the seam along the edge of the folded allowance. Sewing the waistband. Fold the waistband in half and press it. Align the center of the waistband with the center of the skirt. Note that I am attaching the waistband with the right side facing down and the wrong side facing up. On one side, leave a 1.5 cm seam allowance, and on the other side of the waistband, leave a 3.5 cm seam allowance. Turn the skirt inside out. Direct the seam allowance for attaching the waistband to the skirt inside the waistband. Fold down 1 cm of the seam allowance on top of the waistband and fold the waistband in half. This way, the seam allowances will be inside the waistband. Pin it in place. I turn the skirt right side out, fold the waistband in half with the right side inside, pin it, and sew the seam. On the other end of the waistband, I also fold the waistband in half with the right side inside and sew the seam flush with the central back line. Once the seam is sewn, I trim the seam allowance, leaving 0.5 cm, and also trim the corner. Then, I turn the waistband right side out. Now, from the wrong side of the skirt, I tuck the seam allowances inside the waistband, pinning them. I then sew hand stitches before sewing the seam on the sewing machine since the seam needs to be sewn from the right side of the skirt. The seam should be sewn along the bottom edge of the waistband. Now, I am starting to sew the lower part of the skirt. The base of the lower part of the skirt will also be made of lining fabric. I have measured a 2 cm seam allowance at the top for attaching the upper part of the skirt and marked the attachment lines for the tulle strips. From the top line, I divided the fabric into 3 equal parts. I cut out 6 tulle strips, each 17 cm long, and the width of each strip is the width of the tulle fabric - for me, it's 1.6 meters. It could be 1.5 or 1.4 meters as there are different widths of tulle fabric available. I sew each pair of strips together with a seam allowance of 0.5 cm. So, I have 3 strips of tulle, each 3.2 meters long. At the top edge of each strip, I sewed 2 rows of gathering stitches with the maximum stitch width for gathering the strips. On each strip, I need to gather the fabric to match the width of the lining fabric piece. For convenience, I fold the lining fabric piece in half. Then, on each tulle strip, I gather the fabric from one edge to the center seam on the tulle strip, as this is the midpoint of the strip. I distribute the gathers evenly. I start sewing the tulle strips from the bottom line on the lining fabric skirt. I secure the tulle strip with pins beforehand. From each edge of the lining fabric skirt, I measure 2 cm, and I sew the tulle strip up to this mark. This will be the central seam at the back that we will sew using the French seam. Now I attach the second ruffle to the next line, moving from the bottom to the top. Then, I sew the third tulle strip to the top line of the skirt. Next, I join the upper part of the skirt with the lower part. To do this, I flip the upper part of the skirt to the wrong side and connect it with the lower part at the center. I flip the skirt to the wrong side to close the seam. I will be closing the seam with hand stitches, folding the seam allowance inward and securing it with hand stitches. It's not necessary to do this with hand stitches; you can also finish the edges with an overlock stitch. I fold the skirt in half with the wrong side inside, aligning the seam allowances at the center back of the lower part of the skirt. Since this is a French seam, I sew the seam on the right side of the skirt first. I fold the edges of the tulle strips to the sides and pin them in place so they don't get in the way while sewing. So, I've sewn the seam on the right side of the skirt. Now, I turn the skirt inside out, align the fabric along the center seam, pin it in place, and sew the seam.. I fold the seam allowance twice by 0.5 cm from the wrong side of the lower edge of the skirt. Then, I sew the seam. Additionally, at the top, I've attached a clothes hook.
