Step 2. Gather the top of the tulle
Gather the very top of the tulle with just your fingers. Gather it and the machine will hold it in place. Learn how to gather fabric here.

Repeat the gathering process until you’ve gathered about 26 inches.
This is how it will look like…
Step 4. Pin the waistband to the tulle
Next, you’ll be shown how to put the band around the tulle to create the waistband. First, open the pin. Put the end of the elastic to meet the beginning of the gathering from the tulle. Pin them together.
Step 5. Stitch waistband across gathering line
Put them back to the sewing machine. Stitch the waistband right across the gathering line that you created. Follow the gathered line that you created and put the elastic right over it.
Step 6. This is how it should look when the waistband is attached to the tulle
It should have a top stitch directly across the line that you’ve already gathered with the tulle. Continue until you fill the waistband with tulle all the way around until it’s 26 inches or the correct measurement to your waist.
Voila! It’s really easy, quick, and simple.
