From DIY Sewing Kits to garments and home goods, Alabama Chanin’s and The School of Making’s most loved pieces are crafted one at a time, with organic fabrics, by members of our community who make a living wage.
When you purchase a gift from us you are honoring the many lives and sustainable supply chain that brought the item to life.
The pieces featured on our newly released School of Making Mother’s Day Gift Guide celebrate our practices and philosophies.

Stencils designs like the Magdalena were conceived by our in house Design team and the Thread Color Sampler, Color Palette Bundle, and Sewing Needle collection were created by The School of Making team as curated and indispensable notions for our home sewers.
Maker favorite DIY Sewing Kits like the Starter Poncho, Slim Scarf, Embroidered Swing Skirt, and A-Line Top + Tunic are crafted completely by our production team; from the cutting and hand stenciling organic cotton jersey to mindful packaging.
No matter who the maker in your life, the gifts from The School of Making’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide will bring the joy of creativity that will last long past the holiday.
