For the holidays, we’ve put together our favorite tools, notions, and materials. We’ve also introduced new products—and new fabric colors for our DIY collection. We invite you to explore our DIY Holidays.
DIY Collection
Cut by hand, stenciled by hand, packed by hand, and delivered to you—to make by hand.
Alabama Studio Sewing Patterns
“The truth is that sometimes if you want a garment to really and truly fit and suit you, you have to take the power of creating or altering it into your own hands.”
Button Craft Thread
“This thread is going to sew the most beautiful garment that’s ever been made. It will bring the wearer joy, or riches, or prosperity, or love, or beauty, or health, or anything else we want to wish for the person who will wear this garment.”
Pocket Pin Cushion
A helping hand as you sew. Place your scissors in the pocket and secure your needles and pins into the canvas.
Stenciled Fat Eighths
For quilters, crafters, and beyond, these 1/8 yard cuts can be used as appliqué pieces, to patch holes in well-loved garments, and even as gift wrap.
The Modern Natural Dyer
“Thousands of natural materials can produce glorious color.” – Kristine Vejar, author
(Featured here are a few our of favorite A. Chanin garments.)
Workshops: Give the gift of learning
Gift an experience for face-to-face and hand-to-hand instruction for the what, why, and how of our hand sewn garments. (Materials, food, and memories included.)
2015 Swatch of the Month
Inspired by our extensive fabric library, Swatch of the Month was created for (beginner and experienced) sewers to try out new techniques and embroideries. After completing all the swatches, piece them together and make a quilt—or use the swatches for smaller projects. Purchase now and receive the entire year’s worth of materials.
