Sewing Workshop - "DEBUT" Semi-Stretch Ballet Bodice from Tutu Studio Borealis (Beginner+)

The “DEBUT" semi-stretch ballet bodice and panty pattern by Tutu Studio Borealis "is a new generation tutu bodice design bringing the functionality and comfort of stretch bodices, yet maintaining the support and flattering appearance of professional tutus". It is an elegant longline design with a deep insert, which creates a lovely extension to the neckline. The pattern has a back opening with spiral steel boning (supplied) and hook and bar closures. It comes with stretch knickers and marked net lines for the addition of a pancake, bell or romantic tutu skirt.

In this workshop, participants will be taught the Sugar Plum Performance Tutus formula for a hand-tacked 11-layer pancake tutu skirt with pleated top and bottom layers, and hoop. All materials for hand tacking and hooping your tutu will be supplied.

DEBUT is designed for semi-stretch materials, such as double knit scuba, but can be made with 2-way stretch fabrics, such as stretch satin. The pattern can also be modified to suit 4-way stretch fabrics, such as spandex and linel.

Basic sewing skills are recommended for this workshop. Previous tutu making experience would be beneficial, but plenty of support will be provided for sewists with less experience.

Participants will be asked to select their pattern size prior to the workshop. All participants will receive a pattern and detailed instructions from our friends at Tutu Studio Borealis.

Workshops are delivered in a small group format (max 6) by Melissa from Sugar Plum Performance Tutus. Melissa has many years' experience sewing, costuming, tutu making and teaching sewing classes. She is passionate about classical ballet costumes!

Full workshop fee for 4 days is $1,160. Pay $200 to book, and the balance 7 days prior.
