MARTHA PULLEN SCHOOL AT CREATIVE SEWING MACHINE CENTER

The Martha Pullen School was held at Creative Sewing October 21-23.  You know its a great event when the students do not want to take their breaks for snacks and lunch!  The classes this year were taught by three Martha Pullen Certified Instructors; Kathy McMakin, Connie Palmer and Peggy Dilbone.  Creative Sewing was honored to have three such accomplished teachers, designers and authors.

Instructor Connie Palmer taught the students how to make a beautiful designer child's dress using Baby Lock's Crescendo sewing machine.

  The dress, designed by Connie, features a bodice using puffing strips, rickrack and bias strips. 

Instructor Peggy Dilbone taught the students how to make a cute designer diaper bag on the Baby Lock Destiny.

  Students learned to construct the bag and embellish it with embroidery, lace insertions and scallop touches.

Instructor Kathy McMakin taught the student's how to construct and embellish a baby day gown and matching bonnet using Baby Lock's Ovation serger.

This gave Susan a chance to demonstrate her stellar ironing skills!

As the Martha Pullen School comes to a close, we are already prepared to enjoy some informative classes with Joyce Keske this Friday and Saturday, the 24th and 25th! If you have missed out on all this fun, don't forget to sign up for Sew What's New just around the corner on October 31st and November 1st!  See you then!

TREATS, NOT TRICKS THIS OCTOBER!

 Things are getting spooky in the store!

We have all the inspiration and events to get you through October.
       On the 10th we have had a change in the Mary Lou Nall presser foot event.  It will be a fabulous introduction to presser feet taught by our own Jenifer White, using Mary Lou's impressive materials.  We will miss Mary Lou as she deals with a family medical emergency, but we are so grateful that she has supplied us with her materials and the books and DVD's that we will pass on to our customers.
      The Martha Pullen School which begins on the 21st has just had one spot open up. If you thought it was too late to sign up, we will be able to take one more participant. Call us for details.
      Participants in the upcoming Serger Event are in for a treat as they learn new tricks! Joyce Keske is busy preparing the lessons on creating designer trims and insertions.

She has so many tricks up her sleeve.  You will get the opportunity to do things you never thought a serger could do!

The serger class will be on Saturday, and Joyce will be teaching a Palette software class on Friday, the 24th.  If you have not signed up yet, mark your calendar for Friday, October 24th or 25th at 9:30! Be sure to call the store to reserve your spot. Then prepare to be amazed!
            Treats are here from Baby Lock (no tricks!) There are rebates available for several of the models including the Multi-needle machines through the month of October. If you have been waiting for the best time to buy, wait no longer! See you soon.
