the school of making

Founded in 2000 by Natalie Chanin in Florence, Alabama, The School of Making is the educational and DIY arm of the sustainable fashion house Alabama Chanin. Rooted in the region's rich textile history, the brand emerged from Chanin’s desire to preserve traditional Southern quilting and hand-sewing techniques. The School of Making democratizes the brand's signature aesthetic by open-sourcing its patterns, techniques, and materials, allowing consumers to craft their own heirloom-quality garments.
