The Tulle Experiment

I’ve spent a lot of time already on this tulle project, so I’d really like it to work…
AND IT IS!
I took stacks (12 different colors of light and dark) of tulle and wrapped them around these and then cut the rounded edge and the straight bottom:
Look at all that tulle!
And to prep the base fabric. I took my lovely rayon/linen blend, cut the fold of the fabric (it’s 58″, so now it’s 29″), and sewed the two lengths together with a felled french seam:
Time to lay out the tulle to figure out the perfect color order (forgive the terrible picture – it’s winter and dark, so lighting sucks).
Then started to sew the scalloped tulle onto the base. Here’s the project so far:
That’s what I’ve done so far. 5 layers sewn on, one pinned, 6 to go. I’m getting there!
