After choosing tulle in the store, you will necessarily have a question - how to properly and quickly sew it? Do not panic - it's not difficult to do at home if you have a typewriter and a little patience. Before we proceed to the master class, we measure the length of the finished product that we need and add to it 14 cm for the bottom and 1 cm for the top, we trim everything unnecessarily.
