In addition to the Collection, our store features machine-sewn organic knits, accessories, home goods and kitchen wares from celebrated artisans, local music offerings, as well as a selection of fabrics, sewing notions and tools, books, and more. Throughout the year, we host sewing workshops, dinners, events, and special gatherings for the community.

The Factory is open to the public for tours every Tuesday – Friday at 2pm. Contact events@alabamachanin.com to schedule a private tour.

HISTORY

The Factory is housed in a former textile mill and a sturdy, industrial-style metal building. This industrial building where we have worked since 2008 has seen thousands of workers pass through the doors in previous years; it has heard the hum of machines running and the voices and laughter of employees passing the day away. This building is part of our history, but, more importantly, it is part of our community’s history—a symbol of economic boom, hard times, and community rebuilding. We are proud to continue the legacy of manufacturing in our community.
