Thyrell's Tutu Shoppe (Tutu Making)

Now here's the thing... I know how to make a tutu dress! :D

Wonderin' how it all started?

I just saw someone posted on how to make a tutu dress without the need for sewing. I was so curious that I intentionally asked her how to make it. I asked a few questions about where to buy the materials, where's the cheapest store and price for a tulle fabric and etc., I also searched and watched the youtube on "how to make a tutu dress" where I found it so easy to learn with their online tutorials. I 've watched most of the videos again and again and started imagining and creating something in my mind on how will I start it on my own. I just need the guts, the kinds of stuff, and of course, the TIME to do it.

Lucky me! My hubby doo was just so supportive of my likes and wants and he started supporting me financially adding some money to mine to start with my craziness, lol! I actually call this tutu making as my craziness because there is so much that I wanted to make which scrumbles in my mind.

When I started making the first tutu skirt for my niece, it was just a wow! to me. Yes, of course, I made it alas! Then I made the next one, and the next and so on! I consider the tutu making as my hobby, but my hobby turns into a business. My craziness turns into a real business! :D

The first tutu skirt I made. Fits 0-6 months old. Hard tulle fabric.

I started showing it to friends, posting to social media, and offering my crafts to friends which somehow they supported it. Eventually, I've started receiving messages from different people ordering a tutu for their kids. I've always made the most out of it for customers satisfaction and happiness in my creation.

Now, I was invited to sponsor a fashion show to present my own creation of tutus which actually makes me nervous. I really don't know how will they take my designs and everything that I will make, I feel shy thinking that it's not going to stand out from the others. But when the organizer receives my crafts, she immediately sent me this message telling me that she really wanted what I made. All of it was a real wow and beautiful! Well, that was flattering of course! I had the big smile in me, and the tiredness plus the sleepless nights, the cramming, the money spent, the nervousness that I had, was just simply a happy memory now.

This is the first time that Thyrell's Tutu Shoppe will be joining a huge event in SM Manila for the fashion show. It will be held on August 26, 2018 with its theme, Color it Purple Fashion Show!

I named my mini online business "Thyrell's Tutu Shoppe" after my son's name. I don't have a baby girl, that's why my frustration is being put in here, hahah! Soon! Hoping and praying for another angel in our family.
