Alabama Stitch Book: Projects and Stories Celebrating Hand-Sewing, Quilting and Embroidery for Contemporary Sustainable Style
Primitive Elegance is what I think as I go through the book Alabama Stitch Book by Natalie Chanin, with Stacie Stukin, photograph by Robert Rausch. Here are the 4 things I like about this book, 1) Great story about how Natalie started this style, her business and how she tapped a community for talent. 2) Using traditional sewing methods in a very contemporary way. 3) Easy method! 4) Sustainable crafting.
Her work is beautiful and has given me ideas for many new projects. Her use of Cotton Jersey will release the hand stitcher in all of us.
It really has inspired me to do a little handstitching here a little there.
I just featured the site on my blog…I cannot imagine how wonderful the book must be!
It looks like one of those books I’d buy and just flick through it and look at all the lovely pictures.
I love this book too! I love the fact of the recycling. And the south part too!
