Sew Your Own Folklórico Skirt — 4-Week Sewing Course

We are so excited to partner with Mirandabella Studio to bring a beautiful new sewing experience to The Creative Place in San Leandro!

Join us for a 4-week Folklórico Skirt Sewing Course where you’ll learn step-by-step how to create your very own folklórico skirt from beginning to end.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the four weeks, we’ll walk you through:

The basic anatomy and function of a folklórico skirt
How to take your own measurements
How to calculate and create your own pattern
How to properly cut your fabric
How to piece your skirt together
How to finish and secure raw fabric edges
How to decorate your skirt with ribbon and lace
How to gather fabric
How to create and attach the olán to your circle skirt
How to create the waistband
How to attach and finish your waistband

Our goal is for you to walk away understanding not only how to sew the skirt, but how it is constructed so you can continue using these skills for future projects.

Sewing Level

All sewing levels are welcome! However, this course will be taught at an advanced-beginner/intermediate level, so having some basic sewing machine experience will be helpful.

Because everyone sews at a different pace, completion of your skirt will depend on your individual skill level. You may need to spend some additional time sewing outside of class if you would like to have your entire skirt completed by the end of the four-week course.

All Materials Are Included!

We’ve got you covered, amiga!

Your registration includes:

All other materials needed during class

Accessibility Notice

Our studio is located on the second floor and is accessible by stairs only. Unfortunately, we are not wheelchair accessible at this time.

Reserve Your Spot

Space is limited so that we can provide plenty of hands-on instruction and create a comfortable sewing experience for everyone.

Come spend four Mondays with us learning, sewing, creating, and enjoying community while making something beautiful with your own hands.
