Photo dump for day 5. We had such a wonderful group and we know it’s because Cupcake Quilts is such a great host. My cousin took me to Buccee’s. We made sure to use the bathroom. lol. Got the grand kiddos a Buccee stuffy-and some beaver nuggets!

Day four progress: everything is coming together and looking gorgeous! Check out the beautiful trims on these bells. Cat was brave enough to attempt the paper piecing on her bodice. You can see the delight on her face and Will’s “aaaaahhhh” when she flipped her bodice over to see her work.

Day 3 and trims are added to the overskirts on the bells. Lot’s of ruffling and before you know it, Cat’s done with her skirt! The creative minds always inspire me. The alterations class was a success and we solved some tough issues. As always, it was a great day at Cupcake Quilts.

Day 2 and Tututuesday! The second day is always exciting when your pattern pieces start coming together and taking shape. The happy faces say it all. Check out our youngest student, Catherine, conquering her fear of the rotary cutter, Elizabeth smocking her bodice top and Ashley’s gorgeous bodice! We also had Kelley gathering the top layer on her very first tutu. We had a young man, Tristan, in for a measuring class. Cupcake Quilts is the best!!

So close to finishing. Tomorrow will be fast and furious. But the classic skirts are all hand tied and the bodices are going together. The advance class whipped out their skirts and are busy getting them tacked. It was an aweaweinspiring 15th year of tutu building! So proud!!!

While the advanced class starts their bell skirts, my 101 class has finished up their classic skirts. They’re pretty excited to get to the bodices tomorrow. Check out one of our models Callie, trying on Priscilla’s class sample bell tutu. That face tells it all!

As promised, a few close ups of the advanced class with Priscilla. Check out the fabric manipulation done by Elizabeth. Such a beautiful lattice work bodice. Julie Layne can make those amazing curves with the most beautiful fabrics. Priscilla showcases her incredible techniques and Julie popping the brocades with the gorgeous blue center front. Stephanie is gathering her shirred silk mock top. What a talented group! I’m in awe!

First day is done. The work done in Priscilla’s bell tutu class is so impressive. Beautiful new looks with lots of well placed brocades. The 101 class has their panties ready and net is readied for attachment. This is a fast moving group! I will post some close ups tomorrow.

Sweet Juliet byWilliam Linn

Day 4 started with a table of un-tacked tutus and finished with a few tutus fully tacked. Bodices were put together and the finishing touches tomorrow. Same with the Juliet. Final stretch because it’s almost the last day of the Spring Texas Seminar.

03/09/2023

It was the get over the hump day today. The net was steamed and attached. It was a wonderful day. Our fearless 17 year old even started the tacking process! A half a day on the tacking and the bodice assembly will be starting. So proud!!!

Day two! I would say it’s a bit like wrangling cats, but these cats are on a mission and I applaud their ideas. Some have decided to scallop, some dag, some make funny net tents (Will). We have sleeve ideas changing for sweet Juliet… But the basic work is getting done and we’re still on track. The net will be attached to the skirt tomorrow and tacking will commence.
