Our Story
We provide affordable custom sewing services in the Twin Cities area. Please visit etsy.com/shop/tulipdesign for items currently available for sale, or tulipdesign.net for more details about us.
We make Cosplay costumes, SCA garb, theatrical costumes, ethnic/folk dress, etc. Most customers bring us a photo of what they'd like and we custom make it. We can also do this via internet using your size or measurements, though in person fittings are ideal. Most things can be custom made in about two weeks, with much longer waits in September and October due to our Halloween rush.
We work with nearly all fabrics and styles. We make our own patterns based on your measurements and preferences, so they fit perfectly every time (if you come in for fittings). All seams are enclosed or finished with an industrial serger. Our creations look highly professional.
We do NOT work with lycra (swimsuits, etc.) or spandex, but we can work with some other stretchy fabrics. Though we do have industrial machines and can work with a variety of materials, certain styles of knitwear (especially with complicated curved seams) require factory-only equipment to look professional. Please contact us for details.
Our storefront/workroom is located on the border of St Paul and Mpls on the corner of hwy 280 and University Ave. Street parking on all three sides of the bldg.
As the bulk of our business is online, we only accept cash, check or PayPal. You can also order through our etsy site using visa or PayPal - contact us for details.
