Hahahahaha at first I made him stand there and hold the roll himself... that lasted for half a roll before he started looking for a way out. He's a helpful lad though.
See, I don’t need these kinds of tutorials often in my life, like I just happened across your video while looking for tutorials on how to make an underskirt, but your videomaking is SUPER entertaining. Like your voice and your jokes and music are very captivating, and I really like your delivery. I don’t really NEED to be watching your video, I have a skirt to make, but I can’t seem to swipe away. Kudos to you
This reminds me of working backstage on a Broadway touring production of "Grease." I was assigned to women's costumes and I had to steam hundreds of layers of petticoats to make them as pouffy as possible. I got great facials on that show! 😁
I'm sure it's not the only use, but one common reason for these tulle rolls is actually wedding decorations! people drape the tulle between the seats in whatever colour their theme is
Loving your videos. Can we please start you a shopping list? A ruffler foot is amazing. You can alter where you want it to do your ruffle. Used it on lots of puffy tulle underskirts for princess dresses that she wore all of the time lol. A gathering foot is great too. Having found you for the adjustable skirts, which I'm hoping this head will clear so I can make one later, treat yourself to an overlocker. Oh my such a time saver! Mine, a Janome, also has the roll hem function, neaten and hem in super speedy time. When I was a kid my Saturday job was in a bridal shop and we roll hemmed all of the dresses and the roses too, although she had a fancy pants industrial one that I did not use underage, at all, lol. I've watched over 2 hours of you, it's helping my head, thanks.
Thank you so much, and heck yes you can make me a shopping list! I'm hoping to add to my equipment and tools after our upcoming move, and an overlocker or serger is top on the list! I also very much want to try out the gathering and ruffling feet, especially after a bunch of the recent projects I've made, which have taken quite a while to hand gather... all three of those are going on the list!
Where were you 2 weeks ago, when i was making a tulle underskirt, i watched so many how to make kid ones (that did so Not work out for a larger person). Yours is the first that made sense to me. Slowly drags feet back to the 20 mtrs x 60in of tulle still waiting. I choose to ribbon edge the bottom layer. But thank you, now i can look at it with a lighter heart, it has given me more (better) ideas of how i would like it. 😁😅
Exactly what I was thinking!! I'm now searching for my spools of tulle, although mine is going to be significantly shorter than hers (I'm thinking 12-18 inches?)
I can't imagine how much a pettie coat would cost these days but 40 year's ago I made one for my daughter's little bow peep dress I made her and it was a childs size and cost me 50 to make back then. You got a bargain and yes it was truly worth all the work. It's amazing.
Awesome video. You are so fluffy! You can make the machine gather for you. Turn the tension on the machine all the way and it will automatically gather anything you put under there, including tulle!
Love this! Though I would end up making something for my friends great niece. She well not wear anything that doesn’t have good swoosh. She spends a lot of time spinning!
I would LOVE to see you make 50's style prom dresses to wear with this petticoat! That style is very pretty and I bet you've got some great fabrics to bring to it :)
It regularly gets used by people making "no-sew tutu skirts" for costumes and festivals. Which... would also work as a lazy petticoat. Cut a wide ribbon the length of your waist, plus gigantic bow. Mark the middle part of the ribbon with the waist length. Cut lengths of 6-9" tulle, twice the length you want the skirt. Fold tulle strip in half, lay the fold under the ribbon pull ends of tulle through loop, around the ribbon. Do this a bazzillion times, unless making for a toddler with a tiny waist. More strips = more floof. This attachment method means you can add or remove for floof customization, and changing colour accents. Or if a portion gets something spilled on it. * As a bonus, if one is attending crowded events, the floof works really well for keeping people at a bit of a distance, and reduces "plausibly accidental" brushing up against you. And, can be easily tied on, or removed, if you're a performer of some variety, and wish to do so as part of the performance, or you want a showy cover up for your bum, while wearing a tight or revealing outfit.
I would totally make this out a nice, mid-weight synthetic fabric for easy washability and so nothing shrinks lol also they slightly heavier weight of fabric will have more solid body to the floofness
A friend of mine used these short tulle rolls to make a tutu for her granddaughter. By the way have you tried using a gathering foot or ruffler foot, can be so much quicker but of course you have to work out the ratio of gathers against non gathers 😀
This was such a blast to watch. Are you planning any other petticoat projects? Because Singer makes a sewing machine foot called a ruffler/gatherer foot. Cuts out the whole long line of switching then gathering it all thing. The antique version actually gives tiny pleats. I made an apron with the cutest tiny pleated ruffles!
Aaargh! My second attempt was going well. I started felling seams & discovered that I sesed all the way up to the laces instead of stopping short so the sides would open !! Fixing it now... I'm sure you can relate to the frustration. I KNEW not to do that, but... I didn't mark it before running that stitch through the machine. So, I went too far. (How many days have I been failing at this progect?) I overthink it to avoid mistakes and mess up anyway. When I am done, I will have 2 petticoats. 1 for shorter skirts, and one for long ones. I am not aiming for a full cupcake dome shape, but a bit more fullness and less of a flat drape. I am working on the shorter one first. It ends just above the knee, for skirts that fall just below the knee.
I have not used tule or voil before. I watched you using the sewing machine to add thread so that you could scrunch the fluff, but you never actually showed the process of folding and attaching the fluf..you also didn't mention how much tule is needed per yard of skirt you are adding the fluff to. After you pull on the thread to scrunch the fluff, how do you position it? Hand stich only to tack it on? Preferred hand stitches? I was looking around UA-cam and your video was the only one I saw so far adding layers of fluff to a basic skirt. You just missed showing me how to do something you thought was obvious. Totally A newbie here.
I love the idea of you trying this on under just random dresses and skirts. In the early 1800 regancy period the fashion was for conical dresses, but court dress required traditional side hoops which always turned the very conical styles of the early 1800's into cupcake like dresses. I feel like you putting that under dresses where it has no business being would be very analogous.

It's your pancreas to do with as you please, but beta cells DON'T get replaced when spikes of sugar kill them. Most people have killed half of their beta cells by the time they are diagnosed diabetic. Those beta cells AREN'T coming back. Sugar spikes are the route to dialysis and not keeping toes or worse. You can wait until you are 50+ to value your pancreas. I see lots of people in wheelchairs with missing parts because the loved sugar. Do as you please. Your future is made one decidion at a time.

Your tag team tulle roll replacement approach was adorable 😂😄

OH THE TART LOOKS SO TASTY DUDE WHAT THE HECK!!!
You made my whole week with this comment, so THANK YOU so much!! I'm just happy I could be of entertainment to you in some small way!
This reminds me of working backstage on a Broadway touring production of "Grease." I was assigned to women's costumes and I had to steam hundreds of layers of petticoats to make them as pouffy as possible. I got great facials on that show! 😁
This is the chaotic sewing energy I live for, thank you
Haha there's something about making a giant piece of clothing in a tiny living room that just invites chaos right in!
I'm sure it's not the only use, but one common reason for these tulle rolls is actually wedding decorations! people drape the tulle between the seats in whatever colour their theme is
You need to make a pin up style dress. It will be epic! I LOVE THIS! 💙
Oh you know it's on my list!
As someone mentions the rolls like that are often used as table runners bows on chairs and other decorations for wedding/party
omg the volume and shape of this looks like the drawing on the walkaway dress pattern!!
You absolutely need to make a tea dress, floof up and go for afternoon tea all dolled up!
It's so princessyyyyy! I love it! I want one! I wanna cry!
Loving your videos.
Can we please start you a shopping list?
A ruffler foot is amazing. You can alter where you want it to do your ruffle. Used it on lots of puffy tulle underskirts for princess dresses that she wore all of the time lol.
A gathering foot is great too.
Having found you for the adjustable skirts, which I'm hoping this head will clear so I can make one later, treat yourself to an overlocker. Oh my such a time saver!

I'm so glad I was able to provide some help! Best of luck completing the project (I think a ribbon edge on the bottom is a lovely idea!)
Tulle spools are often used for gift wrapping, flower arrangements, and tutus.
This seems like a classic AuDHD project. Hyperfocus on a microfixation adjacent to usual area of interest. Fun!
Exactly what I was thinking!! I'm now searching for my spools of tulle, although mine is going to be significantly shorter than hers (I'm thinking 12-18 inches?)
I can't imagine how much a pettie coat would cost these days but 40 year's ago I made one for my daughter's little bow peep dress I made her and it was a childs size and cost me 50 to make back then. You got a bargain and yes it was truly worth all the work. It's amazing.
It's a lot... but buying these rolls of tulle or organza is definitely the cheapest way!
Now the dog needs a petticoat.
I love this reveal reaction. You look joyful! I love the petticoat. Now you just need a 50's ball gown to go with, maybe. 😊
Really love watching your videos! :D
Your voice with the music and editing goes so well together!
Thank you for the entertainment :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed them, thank you for watching!
FLOOFY TWIRLY FUN!
Awesome video. You are so fluffy! You can make the machine gather for you. Turn the tension on the machine all the way and it will automatically gather anything you put under there, including tulle!
Love this! Though I would end up making something for my friends great niece. She well not wear anything that doesn’t have good swoosh. She spends a lot of time spinning!
It would be cool to make an adjustable length petticoat. Like maybe the layers button on or something.
That's such a good idea!
Iove it ..super cool..I love your imagination
Her struggles remind me of being 6 and making my first petticoat for my barbie. It worked out in the end...but the struggle was real.
You need to invest in a ruffler foot for you sewing machine, they are amazing… 😊
I would LOVE to see you make 50's style prom dresses to wear with this petticoat! That style is very pretty and I bet you've got some great fabrics to bring to it :)

It’s used for decorating at weddings and showers (baby and bridal) but there are also crafts made specifically designed for the spools of netting.
Lovely!

OMG ITS SOOO FLUFFY
How interesting you chose to make a fluffy Lemon Meringue pie and do a fluffy tulle petticoat in the same day.
I had the same idea when I saw tulle on sale, mine did not end up nearly as fluffy as yours, but I did give up after 1 spool
truly amazing what you can do!!!
Thank you so much!
I love it!🥰 ❤
I love your videos SO MUCH! You remind me so much of my sister who is also amazing and excellent at sewing. :)
3:56 Or make and a-line base and make longer-gathered strips for ruffles lol
Omg it's so fluffy
Oh I LOVE IT!
Aaargh!

Amazing...
I love ur vids x i easy get frustrated tryin to work out the measurements for a Circe skirt drives me mad
❤❤❤❤
أحببتها ❤❤❤❤❤
Can't find a dress that actually says 'pin up' on Google. Can you supply a link? Thank you.
Can do it to the underside/lining of a skirt for a built-in petticoat lol
Nice
Hello, thank you for your vidéos. Which fabric and type of petticoat is the best to prevent the wind from shaping our legs please ?
You need a gathering/pleating/ruffling foot, would save you so much time and effort.
To make a petticoat, the rows are evenly spaced and layers over the one below 😊
what stitch do you use to gather the tulle? and how do you gather it? I am planning on making one and I have absolutly no idea.
I have not used tule or voil before. I watched you using the sewing machine to add thread so that you could scrunch the fluff, but you never actually showed the process of folding and attaching the fluf..you also didn't mention how much tule is needed per yard of skirt you are adding the fluff to.

You just missed showing me how to do something you thought was obvious. Totally A newbie here.
Did you purchase that pastel chunky striped sweater? I need one asap.
I did! It's from Unique Vintage! I'm not sure if they still carry it, but here's their website: www.unique-vintage.com
I so appreciate the math struggle!
I agree!
What size circle skirt is the blue or purple one you have at the end of the video? Full, double, etc?
It was a single circle skirt with some over lap cause it's a wrap!
you could totally use just the petticoat to make a Lakitu costume for halloween!
How does this look under the new patchwork dress?
Ooooooo... well that's something I need to try!
I love the idea of you trying this on under just random dresses and skirts. In the early 1800 regancy period the fashion was for conical dresses, but court dress required traditional side hoops which always turned the very conical styles of the early 1800's into cupcake like dresses. I feel like you putting that under dresses where it has no business being would be very analogous.
I made a petticoat for an Alice in Wonderland dress. I thought I would never finish gathering the ruffles
Ruffler foot for sewing machine is amazing 😊
... this is how i ended up with 9 rolls (280 yards each) of tulle for 13 bucks a roll.....
I'm seeing a progression here: floofy dog, floofier baking project, floofiest petticoat!
I need all the floof in my life. All of it!
Now I'm going to keep my eye out for 9" rolls of tulle. Because I do not want to cut that 😂
This petticoat is screaming for an appliqued poodle skirt. And a retro diner or car show.
400 yards now heres the story
Petticoat peeking out from underneath looks appealing sexy

I'm amazed the leastic can hold up all that tulle.
