HOOPWIRE.COM: Hooping a Classical Tutu with Travis Halsey
ADDITIONAL NOTES ADDED BY TRAVIS:
"In today's webinar i misspoke/tongue tied at one spot...
where i'm denting the steel in the miniature hoop skirt, I referred to that as the sprung steel.... The miniature skirt has flat plain steel, not the sprung steel.
Also I meant to discuss what to do if a tutu needs a hoop, but does not have a casing....
Untack the top few layers...get down into the guts of the tutu to where you would like to add the hoop. Tie up the layers above that spot. Lay a hoop joined with connector atop the shorter layers, bottom half of the tutu. With Purl Cotton, or embroidery thread cross stitch, (herringbone stitch) over the hoop you have laid down. Not too tight, and with large spacing and a wide stitch..... you're encasing over the top of the hoop with your stitch piercing down into the nets a couple layers. Loose enough that you don't make the net bend upwards. The hoop should have some play to it. When done, re-steam and re-tack the top layers.
THANK YOU
Travis H."

    There are a lot of color formulas for dying on Rit's website. Takes a lot of the guesswork out. It was very helpful when I had to dye 12 costumes.

    Ive always put the boning channels on the seams, i wondered what the pros and cons of each method are.

    • @classicalbk
      @classicalbk Місяць тому

      I learned to "float" the bones on the coutil layer, so that the seams are accessible for altering. Also for a tutu bodice, I prefer it to look like a bodice, not a corset with all the bone sewing lines showing.

    • @corrinebudris7822
      @corrinebudris7822 9 днів тому

      He mentioned it briefly in the video, but putting the boning on the seams makes it harder to alter, because you'd have to take the whole boning channel off in order to take anything in

    Dear Rachel, I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching all of your videos with Travis. He is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing his knowledge! I have gone from a complete zero to a mother who’s been sewing costumes for her male ballet dancer son for the past 6 years and all of it thanks to these videos!!! Starting with a little nutcracker prince and all the way to a Snow king! All with the help of your videos! 😂❤❤❤😊

    Thank you Rachel for sharing these magical lessons with Travis! I had that I am only getting introduced to him after he has left us. He was such a beautiful soul. These videos have saved my sanity. I have never made a ballet costume & am self taught with my sewing skills. I took on the challenge to make my daughter's variation costume for YAGP after our plans to borrow one fell through. Thank you ❤
