Flamencreaciones

In January, I moved  my workshop to a room in Emilio Maya’s Flamenco School, in the heart of the Albaicin, Granada.

Have you been thinking of getting a sewing machine but didn’t know what to look out for, given the many different brands, styles, models and prices available nowadays? It’s understandable. After all, the sewing machine is one of the most hefty investments you’ll probably buy for your sewing room and hence it’s natural to feel a little anxious and lost with all the information available.

So you want to make your own flamenco dress. Great! Unless you are making a sleeveless flamenco dress though you face a challenge:

As a mostly self-tought dressmaker I naturally own a lot of books - on sewing, fitting, pattern making, design, fabrics. You name it, I probably have it.
In the new Reviews category of my blog I would like to present the ones that have proven most useful to me and explain why.
When I consider buying any [...]

Working as a dressmaker for flamenco artists I found that there is demand not only for dresses, skirts and tops but also for trousers, vests and shirts for men. I had never made a shirt before so I started searching for a book that would teach me and discovered David Page Coffin’s book “Shirtmaking – Developing Skills for Fine Sewing”.

The first time I skimmed through the pages I knew this would become one of my favourite books. Find out why here ..
