Alabama Studio Sewing & Design Book Review

Alabama Studio Sewing + Design is my first Alabama book (she has 2 others) and I love it!! It's filled with great techniques and clothing projects. I have only made a couple of garments before and wish I would have had this book before attempting them.

Here are a few snapshots of the pages:

I love this tiered skirt and will definitely be making one in the future.


There are lots of photos and instructions on stenciling on fabric and beading fabric.

This is my favorite photo and biggest inspiration.

I have always wanted to bead fabric. I bought the supplies to do so a few years ago but never really knew where to go with it. The ideas this book gave me really started my creative thoughts. I immediatly went out and bought some cheap jersey to test the pattern on.


The tunic top turned out really well. The beading is taking forever though and I've been so busy I've only got half of one sleeve edge done so far.

Here is the beading detail. I hope to be done with this top in the next week. I have other projects up my sleeve.

Thanks for visiting :)

Welcome Spring

Spring has sprung! Also I am ready to try photoblogging. Hopefully I will manage at least a photo a week but we will see how it goes. :)
