Description

Designer and bestselling author Natalie Chanin blends embroidery and hand- sewing techniques with her own personal story in this empowering guide for all who love stitching and handcraft. Foreword by Grammy Award–winner Roseanne Cash Embroidery: Threads and Stories from Alabama Chanin and The School of Making mixes lessons in sewing, design, and embroidery with Natalie Chanin’s engaging, personal story of the evolution of Alabama Chanin and the indelible mark the techniques she pioneered and the company she founded have made on the sewing and fashion industry. Chapters explore design-related themes—craft, technique, relationship, repeat, and color—through images, instruction, and stories from Chanin about her life, Alabama Chanin, and the evolving view of craft and hand-sewing in the modern world. The book also explores how sewing and embroidery relate to wider concerns of sustainability, community, and women’s empowerment. As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without thinking much about how they relate to one another. Embroidery challenges us to go deeper by examining the history of a beloved company and cherished pastime. Includes Color Photographs Read more

    • Alabama Chanin sewers will like it, but repetitive of other books; More Stories
I found this book to be not as good as the other books by Natalie Chanin. It was disappointing not to find any clothing patterns. There are a few things to sew, but they are very basic pouches. I would have really liked to have seen more patterns, or new ideas for sewing. I do think Chanin is a good writer and the stories are interesting, but there is not a lot of meat in the book for avid sewers, at least as compared to the other books. I wish that you could at least get a PDF pattern download with the book. That would make it worth it. I would give her other books 4 or 5 stars, but this one only 3. ... show more
