Just what I didn't know I needed: an Alabama Chanin-style donut-themed corset.
Well, I have one now. Found the Krispy Kreme shirt at the thrift store, and backed it with a plain red tee.
Hand-stitched, except for the shoulder seams. Seams unfinished and left on the outside. Pattern found in Alabama Stitch, Natalie Chanin's first book.
that just really cracks me up! And the colors are so perfect for the season. Wow. I would love to see a photo of it in use - how do you style it?
ReplyDeleteI really must try sewing with knits. You make it look so easy.
this is awesome!!!! I am loving all of your Alabama Chanin stuff…your courage as a seamstress is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteIt's a Christmas Miracle.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's really cute! Is it comfortable to wear?
ReplyDeleteFound your blog and *love* it - nice photography too!
Blessings,
This Good Life
I really like handwork and have been tempted to try the Alabama Studio stuff but have put it off due to too many WIPs. I'm amazed at how much you get done! And I like that you don't stick to one "genre" -- truly eclectic.
ReplyDeleteWill it be part of your running outfit? Proof that doughnut eaters can still be fit
