Turquoise and black tutu

Really happy with how this one turned out. The motifs are all glitter so it should look very sparkly on stage.

I am still making tutus and hope anyone interested I my creations has been following myjourney on my Facebook page or on Instagram,both titled Tutus by Dani Anyway here are a few photos.

TUTU SEMINAR MELBOURNE

Want to make a costume for a jazz, tap or neo classical solo, but no idea where to start! Join me for my class "Adapting commercial patterns" to learn how to alter, combine and play with commercially available patterns to get the look and fit you want. Sign up for the afternoon of sewing as well and make a whole costume!

TUTU SEWING CLASSES IN WOODEND

I have had a wonderful response to the classes I advertised in January. They are pretty much booked out, so I am offering two more classes in December, the weekend of 14/15 December and a midweek class on 17/18th December. Email me at danilegge@me.com for more details, or to register.

Blossom the Fairy tutu

I was recently asked by Energetiks dancewear to make a tutu to be worn by "Blossom the Fairy" at the opening of their new store in Ivanhoe. The opening was last weekend, so I can now post a photo of the tutu.

Tutu making classes in Woodend

I have finally decided on dates to offer classes here. I have a large sewing room that can take four students comfortably. Classes go for two full days, and in that time you should make a tutu and a tiara, and maybe do some decorating. Price is $500 with all materials provided, or $450 if you bring your own net and lycra. DATES January 11/12, January 18/19, January 25/26 (I already have two bookings for this weekend). I will also offer one mid week class, with two places available, once I have confirmed dates with the ladies who have booked the other two spots. I would be happy to do a class in December too, if I have any interest. I live in Woodend, about an hours drive from Melbourne, so anyone from interstate may prefer to attend the Tutus That Dance Seminar in Melbourne in March. I will also be teaching there, and of course there will be classes on offer on traditional tutu making as well. Here are a few photos of what has been achieved by past students in my class.
