“If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it.” – Ruthie Lindsey
THIS WEEK
The last day of the 2016 Fellowship Artist Showcase at the Georgine Clarke Alabama Artists Gallery, which features the work of Natalie Chanin and other incredible artists, is August 31st. If you will be in Montgomery, stop in and see these inspiring works while you still can.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Please remember that Alabama Chanin and The Factory will be closed September 5th in observance of Labor Day. Wherever your plans take you, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable long weekend.
Our First Mondays sewing group will be postponed until Tuesday, September 6th , from 8:30 – 11:30am, as The Factory and all Alabama Chanin offices will be closed on Monday in observance of Labor Day. Work on your current sewing projects and share encouragement, laughs, and lunch from our café with fellow sewers. Remember to bring your own fabric and sewing notions.
Keep an eye on our website and Journal for brand new 2017 workshops. We’ll be announcing them soon.
DAILY LUNCH
Every weekday The Factory serves up lunch created with organic and locally-sourced ingredients. Our Daily Menu, which changes with each season, offers everything from soups and sandwiches to cookies, cakes, and crêpes for dessert. After lunch stay for a free guided tour of our facility that starts at 2:00pm. On the tour you will learn about the history of our company and our sustainable manufacturing practices. You will also get to see first-hand our design studio as well as our Building 14 production facility, stenciling, fabric cutting, and pattern making areas.
