Got the copy of the catalog and pattern in the mail today! Itching to get a smock started, but first in line for my hand sewing skills is getting numbers on some Webelo scout uniforms! Motivation!!

When I was at the workshop I kept thinking that maybe I should’ve chosen this one as my project; I took a photo of the dress to help me remember it and potentially recreate it, but hey, it’s all here for me! I love the versatility of it and plan to make it my next Alabama Chanin project.

Beautiful dress! I looked around at the Smockshop project and am sad that it seems to have ended. What a terrific idea!

Last week I attended the Textile Society of America’s Symposium in Washington, DC. Sustainability was the topic of many of the sessions I attended and created a great deal of discussion. For me that was very exciting. I wore my Alabama Chanin skirt one day and my top the next day and some of my naturally dyed clothes the other days. Each day during the discussion where it was appropriate, I mentioned that what I was wearing was one of your pieces and mentioned your work and philosophy. I had people coming up to me wanting to feel the pieces I obtained from you and writing down your website.

Did you guys alter the smock pattern at all? Their pattern sttes that you should wear a tank top under it (I assume because the arm holes are large) Just checking if you guys tightened that up a bit or if it adjustable enough to snug it up under your arms. Thanks for this great inspiration!

The navy blue you used here is incredible.

Actually, never mind. Didn’t realize the underlined “here” was a separate link. Thanks!

Actually, the link you provided to buy the pattern only seems to take you to a PDF of the catalog in which the pattern is not provided. Do you have a link where the catalog can be purchased?
