I'm so glad I didn't throw out the old tulle. There are 3 smart ways to reuse it
1) Now I will be the most fashionable on the beach. I made a cool tunic from waste tulle (no pattern needed).
From the measurements you need to take the hip circumference and the length of the product. And the width is enough 1.30, but more is possible.
When you come out of the water in a wet swimsuit and have to leave the beach, a tunic will come in handy.
It is see-through, but at the same time creates the appearance of a dress. And it dries quickly.
My tunic is made from two rectangular pieces of fabric.
And it will be old tulle. That is, it’s not old, but the cat tore the curtain, and I had to replace it.
The size of the cuts is 1.30 X 0.95 cm.
The upper part has already been processed; this edging remains from the lower part of the tulle. It looks beautiful and I will use it as trim.
I sewed the remaining edges with a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine.
For the straps I used a ribbon 18 cm long. But you can sew the ties on both sides. They are located at a distance of 30 cm from each other. You have to measure it by yourself.
In this case, the shoulders will be open.
If you have a single piece of fabric, you can cut out the neckline and the shoulders will be covered.
Now you need to make lines on the sides. The distance between them should be 20-30 cm greater than the circumference of the hips.
These allowances are for a loose fit.
Thus, there were gaps for the hands.
Each figure and complexion has its own measurements. You just need to attach one part of the tunic to yourself, and it will be clear where to sew the straps and side seams.
The length is also adjustable. You can add 30 cm for floor length.
The result is an airy cape “Bat”.
It will take an hour to an hour and a half to sew such a thing. Any woman can do it, even if she doesn’t know how to sew.
2) I won’t buy bags in the store anymore. I took some old tulle and made a comfortable thing for going to the store.
Bags intended for shopping must be made of durable material that can withstand sufficient weight. Cotton, linen and something similar will work well.
Or you can take old tulle and use it for sewing, but then it must be strong. Nylon fits perfectly.
You don't need a pattern, you just need to take a bag from the store, cut the top of the handles and the bottom, straighten it and you can cut it along these contours.
To make the handbag strong, I will sew it double.
I had a long piece of tulle and it turned out to be two solid parts; in this example I will show you how to make sure that all the seams are hidden inside.
How to sew:
I folded the two parts with the right sides facing inward and made a circular stitch inside. I inserted an elastic loop on one side.
Now we need to make lines on the sides and handles. To do this, I rolled one edge of the bag lengthwise into a roll to the other edge. With this other edge, I wrapped the rolled fabric inside and made a stitch. I turned it inside out and one side turned out to be processed.
I did the same with the other side.
At this stage, all seams are between the two layers of the bag inside, except for the bottom. I made finishing side seams.
Now I folded the sides like in a bag and made a line in the middle on the handle.
She folded the bag in half with the front side facing inward. I unfolded it and stitched the side parts up to the handles.
I turned the bag right side out, the folds were inside, I stitched the bottom, the seam was on the outside.
Once again I turned the bag inside out and made a seam, thereby hiding the open cut.
All is ready! You can fold it and tie it with an elastic band.
The folded bag takes up virtually no space and can be put in your pocket.
3) How I use tulle for other purposes. I'll show you how beautiful it turns out.
Tulle is suitable not only for windows, but also for decorating furniture. Pieces of lace can be glued to the glass of a cabinet in any room so that the contents inside are not visible.
This is how I transformed the glass cabinet doors in the bathroom. I had curtains hanging there before, but they were on a wire that was screwed to screws. I liked the way it looked, but every time I washed them I had to remove the wire from the curtains and then reattach everything.
Now I’ve made everything easier. I cut the lace to the size of the glass and glued it with starch. When I need to wash it, I just tear it off, wash it and re-glue it.
I make glue from any starch: corn or potato.
1 heaped tablespoon of starch (almost 2 tablespoons) per half liter of water. First, I dilute dry starch in a small amount of cold water in a 1:1 ratio. I bring half a liter of water to a boil and pour the diluted starch into it, it turns out to be jelly.
When it cools down, I start gluing it. I put the fabric in the glue, squeeze it out, but not too much, and start gluing it onto the glass. This is done very quickly, I straighten the tulle with my hands, or with a brush.
Instead of starch, you can use laundry soap. Lather the wet cloth thickly, wring it
