tutu

Learn to make a staple of ballet:  the dreamy romantic tutu.

You must have some sewing experience on a regular machine to take this class.  Some experience on a serger is helpful as well.

You will be making the Basque, and then on the Johnson Ruffler you will handle/ruffle 4 layers of tulle and a layer of netting.  If you are a Dance Studio that wants to make Romantic tutus for your Studio, please contact me and we can talk about maybe even setting up your very own Workshop.

There will be a cost of $50.00. And we can discuss costs if you are wanting to schedule a workshop for your specific Studio.  Since we will be using the Tutus That Dance high basque #2300, you will need to purchase that separately from them: https://tutusthatdance.com/collections/accessories/products/high-basque-2300.

Again, you MUST have SOME sewing experience.  Preferably you have taken the Bodice class or been involved in prior productions.  If you have not met either of these two pre-requisites, we will need to chat first to make sure you have the basic skills to accomplish this project at the Workshop.

I’ve set these up as 4 hour sessions on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  It may take more than one session, but you are only paying for the initial session.  I will work with you to find time for you to come back in and finish or coach you so you can finish up at home.

THESE ARE A GREAT GROUP PROJECT!  And I made them for my daughter’s Bachelorette party and they were a HUGE hit.  So consider booking this for part of your bridal festivities.  As a Group activity, we can assign out tasks for the non-sewers of the group!

IF there’s enough demand for it, I would CONSIDER changing this to a PLATTER tutu Workshop. But the Cost would go up to $100.00 per person as this is a much more complicated Build to teach.  I would recommend you check out the Pull on Performance Tutu class option.

Romantic tutus are a staple of ballet. It's is 4-5 layers of tulle & netting on a curved waistband called a basque. They also make BEAUTIFUL party wear for that special occasion. So skills you will learn here are cutting fabric and tulle/netting; flatlining; gathering on the Johnson Ruffler or an alternate way of ruffling: to name just a few. All class sessions are included in the price and I have blocked out 4 hours. If you need to come back for another session to complete the skirts, you are only paying for the first session. Choose the session(s) that work for you! The number of sessions will be dictated by your experience level. This is also a really fun GROUP PROJECT. So don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have a group or event you want to make these for. Just an fyi: these are also fabulous for bachelorette parties! I did them for my daughter's bachelorette party. Grab your bridesmaids and come schedule a session to make your Bachelorette Party skirts!
