The School of Making was created in 2014—though our workshops, educational services, and DIY projects date back to the early 2000s. This important part of our business allows us to make living arts accessible to all consumers.

Today, we guide you through this section of our new site, which has a few updates.

What We Love is, well, just that. This page gives us a place to share favorite products, and you can expect this section to change as we introduce or highlight new and different designs. (These items can also be found in their respective categories.)

On our previous site, the DIY Sewing Kits were nested under the Maker Supplies section—now they stand out on their own making them easier to find. With the site launch, we’ve also introduced four new kits: the Alabama Fur Corset, Anna’s Garden Corset, Anna’s Garden Factory Tunic, and Stars Alabama Sweater.

Maker Supplies + Stencils are our go-to notions, tools, and materials and our medium-weight jersey in a variety of colors, all products that we use day after day in our own studio. The new site design showcases the quality of the materials through our photography.

We’ve folded our digital stencil tools, artwork, and laser-cut Mylar stencils together into the same page. Now you can choose between the digital or physical offerings (where available)—and see fabric design inspiration for your next project.

In Studio Books + Patterns, The School of Making Book Series can be found alongside our digital garment patterns (which have moved from the Resources section on our previous site). Use these books as resources to get started sewing and learn all our techniques and methods. Expect more patterns in the collection in the future…

Workshops + Events is divided up by type of workshop and easily shows you each available date. You can also find these listed on our company-wide Events calendar in the footer.

Custom DIY and Host a Party are still available too! Access these programs through the feature images across our site.

And use our Site Map to navigate and find your way…

Check back on the Journal tomorrow as we highlight Bldg. 14 on AlabamaChanin.com.
