S. It is not just sewing skills that are required to make or “build” a tutu, but the experience and knowledge put into its design, fabric choices, construction, and fitting that make a quality tutu. With some practice, most intermediate sewers can follow a pattern and “make” a tutu for a recital or student dancer, but the demands of a professional require more than that. It starts with knowing a dancer’s needs. Our Seminars teach just that! From construction methods, working (fitting) on dancers, to the "Art" of the tutu (design and embellishing). Classes cover more than just the sewing techniques you need to know, but also "How's" and "Why's". 
New INNOVATION Stretch tutu/Embellishing class! Learn more about this new construction method. Tami DeMattia, co-creator behind the new design will be coming over to the UK to teach it. She will be answering questions about why and how we dealt with the challenges of stretch tutus, as well as the testing we did on dancers and the results. No, these are not just for professional dancers, but for anyone competing and wanting an enhanced fit and “set” to the skirt. The secrets are on the inside and add almost no time to the standard construction. Liz Gurney, who's specialties include embellishing and tiaras, will be assisting Tami and will be teaching the Tiara class.
