thank you for visiting DIY wedding gowns this is a tutorial on how to make the Lindo shrug here are the Ordinaries you will need for this project if you need more time feel free to pause and review the list first you are going to take a measurement from one side of your bust around the neck to the other side for example here I measure 26 inches I would take that measurement and multiply it by 2 so mine would equal 52 inches you will then cut 15 strips of tulle at this link and just layer it on top of each other trim each end of the tulle layer so that it will have a neat and clean edge then you will taper the ends by cutting it at an angle and it should look like this next you're going to cut the elastic to the first measurement that was made which for me is 26 inches you are going to match up the ends of the elastic to the tulle and pin it and then also line up the center of the elastic and pin it to the center of the tulle this is just a diagram of the pin points in which I will call pin points one two and three using the reference points you are going to pin it in the middle of each pin point here I fold the tulle and the elastic over just to find the center point pin the elastic to the tulle again this is just a diagram where I show pin point four and pin point five it should look a little silly like this now you are going to set up the sewing machine to a zig-zag stitch place the tool in your machine do a back-and-forth stitch to secure it now make sure the needle is in the fabric pull the elastic straight and start sewing when you get to the end it should look like this get a fuller effect separate the tulle layers now you're going to cut to ribbons at 36 inches each roll the ends so that it will prevent from fraying and hand stitch it to the end of the tulle repeat it for the other end and now you are complete I hope you get inspired to create something extraordinary out of the ordinary for the fabric flower tutorial please click on the flower if you would like to learn how to make a birdcage veil or create the dawn bolero please click on one of the gold buttons you
