Alabama Studio Style, the second book in the Studio Design Series, is published in 2010. The book builds upon techniques explored in Alabama Stitch Book. It adds new stitching, stenciling, and beading methods, and uses organic cotton jersey yardage rather than recycled t-shirts as raw materials. Twenty-four projects make up the core of the book, including garments, home décor and entertaining, and a collection of three menus with sixteen recipes.
In 2020, this book was retired from publication.
