—it’s getting to the point in the semester where I have very little free time, barely even time to post. I #mended this #AlabamaChanin shirt on Sunday, just before the grading marathon started. Button craft thread on cotton.

I cut strips off the old gray shirt to #mend the back neckline of this one and then realized that I could fix up the front neckline as well. #AlabamaChanin knows what they are talking about. Next time I’m following their instructions to a tee. 3/3

—I finally finished the #alterations on this shirt yesterday. I bound the neckline, felled the seams, and #mended all the holes. Techniques are from #alabamachanin.
Totally paid today for enjoying my weekend by being completely swamped with work.

—this t-shirt has always been too long and too low-cut for my taste. So today’s project was chopping off the hem, turning it into a one-inch-wide #pleated #ruffle, and #sewing it to the neckline. The technique is from #alabamachanin.

A blue t-shirt is lying flat. It has been altered with a hand stitched detail of the Stormcloak bear symbol from the video game Skyrim.
Thrifted a few shirts and they needed some personalization. The Alabama Chanin style modifications have been intriguing me for a while so I had to give it a try. Very happy with my new Stormcloak top! #sewing ##upcycled #alteredclothing #skyrim #handmade #Alabamachanin #fanart #fatfashion
Embellishing the final piece of my #alabamachanin bolero. I decided to try some couching. The fabric is organic soy knit from The Confident Stitch.

A complete #AlabamaChanin bolero sleeve. I’m putting it together that one of the reasons I stalled on this project is that I never established a consistent method of stitching and beading. It’s all over the place. So now I’m just going with it. #the100dayproject

I’ll be posting my progress on the #the100dayproject with photos of my #alabamachanin #reverseapplique. This bolero has been languishing and it’s time to finish up! There will be stitching, cutting, and beading. #mostlyhandmadewardrobe
Stunning vintage Alabama Chanin. Couching embroidery adds a beautiful texture and a sculptural quality. Incredible work.

Do you know Alabama Chanin? I adore her applique work (usually it's all jersey fabric.) I have a couple of her books, which are great. Her website is here: alabamachanin.com

Are you familiar with Alabama Chanin? Her designs are all about applique and reverse applique. Everything is handmade and many of her designs are kits so you can make them yourself. I'm so tempted to try something simple to start, maybe a scarf?
