Hi Becki, thanks for your comment. Yes the tulle strips are all the same

width, they are only sewn on at the hems and don't go all the way up And

yes I sewed them to the lining layers. I allow for at least 2x each

circumference, even up to 3x as its better to have a bit extra than run out!

Awww so pretty! This skirt is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm making a Persian New Year costume for my 2yo daughter and need a full layered skirt. I just made the quarter circle pattern and am anxiously awaiting a trip to the fabric store!! I'm wondering about the tulle, however...You mention it's cut into strips. I'm assuming all strips for each layer are the same width? i.e. they don't all go from the hemline of each layer to the waist do they? I think you mentioned that in a reply to a post but I just wanted to clarify. And does the tulle get sewn to the lining layer for all layers? (as in the picture for the top most layer)

Also, how did you calculate how much tulle you'd need? Each strip has to go around the base of each layer and being gathered, would it be something like 2x the circumference?

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for your comment. To answer your question, the waist is actually the same size in each layer, all six layers were stitched together at the waist! Was wondering if you meant the ruffled tulle strip – These were just sewn on the bottom edges. Hope this helps

Hi, love this tutorial! I would love to make this skirt, but I do have a question. I will tell you that I am a novice at sewing. The only thing I don't understand is that in the first picture of the tulle layered onto the solid pink the circle in center is large. Then as the tiers go up the waist gets smaller. Here is my question: What are the tiers sewn to if the center is getting smaller as it goes? I guess I dont understand how you attached it all together?

I am a custom cake decorator www.bakingsweetmemories.com, I am not a sewer. I would love to become one though!!!

Thanks for the comment Tamsin.
I often wonder why we are all so hard on ourselves when rating our own sewing ability, I’d rate myself only average and I’ve been practicing it for nearly 30 years!
