My Alabama Chanin Corset

A few months ago I posted about my Alabama Chanin dress here. Once I had finished the dress, I started this corset, spending many hours over the summer stitching it on my front porch. And now I'm working on a gray skirt.

Obviously, I'm totally hooked on both stitching and wearing this beautiful, comfortable cotton-jersey clothing. If you want to learn how to make it too, check out Alabama Stitch Book and/or take one of the Alabama Chanin Fall workshops (see the schedule here).

Beautiful work, Melanie. I hope you will post photos "as you go" of your skirt. It's inspiring to see all the stages that go into such a lovely final piece of handwork.
