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!
Oh wow! It's beautiful, I cannot wait to see what it will be made up into.

Lovely indeed. A very beautiful colour, too!
ReplyDeleteIt is really beautiful, Anna.
ReplyDeleteWhere 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!!

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