Personalized Hands-on Flamenco Costume Making Courses in Granada

Love the idea of combining a holiday in Granada, Andalusia, exploring its rich history and experiencing first hand the passion of flamenco, with learning how to make authentic flamenco dance costumes - hands-on in private classes or very small groups (max. 3 people) if you prefer coming with a friend?

Are you tired of struggling to find flamenco dance costumes that fit like a glove, flatter your figure and allow the freedom of movement you need in order to express yourself dancing?

Not speaking a lot of Spanish and having difficulty communicating with flamenco costume shops and dressmakers in Spain?

Tired of worrying that the outfit you’ve ordered in Spain

• does not fit,
• does not arrive on time,
• isn’t the color or material you had in mind?

Would you love to take flamenco costume creation into your own hands but aren’t sure where to start or need some help to take it to the next level? 

Learn to sew your dream flamenco dance costume hands-on, in private or small group (max. 3 students) intensive courses, right in the historic part of Granada, in the heart of flamenco – Andalusia.

I personally teach you how to make your favourite outfit, whether you are a beginner or experienced sewer, whether you want to sew for yourself or others. Classes are held in English (or German or Spanish if you prefer) so you don’t have to worry about not understanding the instructions or not being able to ask questions.
Private classes are the most efficient way for you to learn and the quickest route to great results. Courses are tailored to your needs – your level of experience, your objective, the time you have available. so you learn everything you want and nothing you don’t.

How to Sew a Flamenco Skirt – Tutorial Part 1

Love to make a flamenco skirt like the one in the photos above but not sure whether you can pull it off?

It is not as hard as you might think. Let me walk you through from start to finish:

Getting Ready

The Pattern

To start get the Flamenco Skirt Pattern Carmen in your size or the one that comes closest. When choosing your size keep in mind that the skirt is designed for a very close fit and has very little ease. In case of doubt go for the larger size. Print the pattern at home and assemble it or have it printed at a print shop.

Materials & Equipment

You’ll need

• 2,30m of fabric for the skirt and
• an additional 3m of fabric for the ruffles (assuming a fabric width of 1,50m).
• 0,80m of poplin lining (the skirt is lined down to where the ruffles start to allow the lower skirt part to move freely)
• a normal 30cm-35cm long zipper. To make sure you can put the skirt on easily calculate hip depth (vertical measurement from waist to hip, usually 22-25cm) + 8cm for the minimum zipper length.
• sewing machine and usual sewing tools (scissors, measuring tape, pins etc.)
• serger (optional)

 Cutting the Skirt Pieces

Cut the 7 skirt pieces

• center front (1x)
• side front (2x)
• side back (2x)
• center back (2x)

and the corresponding lining pieces. Consult the suggested fabric layout that comes with the pattern to guide you.
Also cut the front and back facing pieces from the poplin lining fabric.

You can also cut the ruffles at this point (I usually do) or leave it for later. You’ll only need them once the skirt is assembled.
