My name is Cindy Trupski

My Grandmother began teaching me to sew
when I was five years old. 
When I turned eleven I received
my first sewing machine.
Sewing has been my passion ever since.

As a young Mother, I began making clothes and costumes for my children. 
Playing dress up was definitely a favorite activity in our house

In 2005 I entered the world of Theatrical Costume Design. My first show was the Valley Christian High School production of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." 

I went on to design and build costumes for many other high school drama departments as well as professional theatres such as the California Theatre Center, City Lights Theatre and The Fremont Opera Company.

In 2010 I won the NYT Award for Outstanding Costume Design for the Valley Christian High School production of "Singin' in the Rain." 

Today, I continue to alter, design and build custom garments for myself,
my family and my friends. 
I am delighted that what began as a hobby 
has brought joy to so many people.
