Top, Pajamas Or Nightgown! Take Your Pick!
This project is so versatile and it's made from our newest addition to the Martha Pullen fabric line - Martha's Classic Cotton. Make it short to wear as a top with jeans or pants; add tap pants or lounging pants and it turns into a great sleep set. Take away the pants, make the top longer, and it turns into a great nightgown. You will LOVE this fabric - 100% cotton, 60" wide, thicker than batiste, but still remains ohsosoft. You'll learn lots of special serger techniques including cover stitch tucks, corded piping, bias bindings, bias trims, a spaghetti bias bow and garment construction. Your kit includes everything to make a solid fabric top and shorts or midlength gown with gingham trims.

Madeira Apron

There are certain things that an apron has to have and a pocket is an absolute must! You'll be creating your own vintage look Madeira applique apron - with a pocket, of course using Classic Cotton solids and their coordinating checks. Madeira Applique and washaway thread is one of our best sewing tricks and this apron won't be complete without a bit of pinstitch and the softness of ruffles. Aprons are so popular and this one is sure to become your new favorite!

Elegant Decorator Pillow

To make something special with a look of class, you want to invest in timeless fabrics, laces and techniques. And this Elegant Decorator Pillow has all three! A background of white linen fabric is the canvas for ecru laces that are shaped, gathered and pinstitched to show off their classic heirloom elegance. Vintage stitches and candlewicking add timeless embellishment in addition to a special place for you to add a monogram or other design of your choice when you return home.
