cotton clothing, plus more than 50 variations that lead to infinite
design possibilities. Included in this encyclopedic compilation of
Alabama Chanin skill and style are patterns and instructions for
dresses, skirts, tops, a wrap, a poncho, a bolero, fingerless
gloves, and a hat. Each piece is featured in both its basic form
and with varying embellishment combinations. By mixing, matching,
and layering, a stunning, unique, and versatile wardrobe can be

Praise for Alabama Studio Sewing + Design:
"Transform organic or recycled materials into clothing or home
decor items with haute homespun flair."
--"Better Homes and Gardens Quilts and More" magazine
"Natalie is beautifully simple, yet elegant, just like her
clothing. Her signature look is intricate stitching, beading and
applique on basic organic cotton jersey which together make a show
stopping casual look." --"SF Unzipped"
"I'm a longtime fan of Natalie's clothing designs . . . Her sewing
patterns do not disappoint. These are the same dresses, tops,
skirts, and accessories that carry four-figure price tags and are
coveted by ec-groovy lady rock stars. The same ones. But in her
books, Natalie teaches you how to make them yourself . . .
Natalie's pieces are so simple to sew together . . . They go
together in a single evening, and when you pull them on they don't
just make you look better than you did in whatever you were wearing
before, they make you feel better." --Heather Ross,

"The photographs in this volume are exceptional . . . I think if
quilters get this book for both technique and inspiration, it will
be more than worth the money." --Meg Cox, quilter and author of
"The Book of New Family Traditions"
"I just love that Natalie has the guts to share the tricks of her
trade. The reason I say guts is that you would think that sharing
how your garments are made might hurt your business--but in
Natalie's case it's proved to be actually quite the opposite . . .
The interest in her couture line grew once she started to write
books." --Cathy Callahan, Cathy of California blogger and author of
"Vintage Craft Workshop"
