After living in New York and Vienna for over 20 years, she began to transform cotton Tshirts into high fashion using the needlework skills she learned as a child in Florence, Alabama. When she moved home, Chanin hired local women (many of whom had worked in the states now defunct textile factories) to stitch her couture collections with her.What follows is a stepbystep guide to the stitching, stenciling, and beading techniques used in the 20 projects showcased in the book: Tshirts, skirts, and corsets that are sold at chic shops around the world, plus a journal cover, sampler quilt, and tablecloth, among others.
