We drove down from SF to celebrate my nieces' birthdays. One wanted to do rug tufting since she was now old enough! The other wanted to do Decoden. Since we weren't sure of our time, we checked online for openings and saw that they were open & accept walk-ins. Upon arrival, Joshie informed me that she wasn't sure they could take walk-ins for rug tufting since they were currently all assisting in other workshops. Rug tufting is a minimum of 2-3 hours depending on rug sizes. She had me check w/ Mila. Mila was so kind once she heard we came all the way from SF to take the girls to Tutu Fun for their birthday experiences that she told us once they were done with their current clients, they would take us. We only waited about 5 minutes and Joshie started walking us through the whole process. She was very thorough on all the safety precautions, how to properly hold the tufting gun, as well as tips to help the process go smoother by showing us the best position to hold the gun for her height, how to feed the yarn and prevent it from getting tangled or unthreaded, etc. Mila & Joshie also let her do a trial run on a practice canvas just to see if she even liked the feel of the process - which only confirmed her desire for this experience! Both Mila & Joshie constantly checked in with the girls during their projects. We were there for about 4 hours tufting a Small size rug & Decoden lamp. When Elly arrived, she took the Decoden lamp (took pictures - which made my niece even more proud of her piece!) and carefully prepared it for packaging. She boxed it up in a beautiful box for my niece to admire while it takes 2-3 days to fully dry. Joshie was kind enough to finish up trimming the rug immediately after once she saw how excited my niece was to see the finished project after she was done tufting. The girls had THE BEST BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCES EVER!!! All thanks to the staff at Tutu Fun! Or as my nieces said: "it was too too fun!" :) Thank you, Joshie, Mila & Elly!!! read more
