I am impressed. I've never heard of Alabama Studio Style, I was surprised to see that they sell kits for 100s of dollars -- I wonder how much you think you will spend on this project (ballpark)?
Amy: $2 for the tee shirt, $2 for jersey to back, $4 for paint, $1 for stencil Mylar, $2 for thread. Under $12.00.
The kits are expensive, the clothes are exorbitant (all those hours of hand-stitching), but what generosity of spirit for the designer to share with the world exactly how to create these things on our own. I admire!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Lovely indeed. A very beautiful colour, too!
It is really beautiful, Anna.
Where did you find the mylar for the stencilling? I'm curious to know because it seems like that would be hard to find!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Well worth your labors!!
Hobby Lobby, with the pre-cut stencils.

The backing and quilting gives the fabric such lovely body. I can't wait to see your finished piece.
