Accessory Case and Pin Cushion
 Most of us feel like we're running in circles much of the day... and that's not always a good thing. Well, come and have fun sewing in circles and create a wonderful pin cushion. This cushion coordinates with an accessory case featuring in-the-hoop lace shaping, and a zippered pocket for small items that might get lost at the bottom of your sewing bag. Both of these items will make a lovely set when paired with the serger organizer!

Victorian Antiques Hangar Fashion Show
Martha will present a totally antique garment "hangar" fashion show with her stories about the
embroidery and sewing techniques on each piece. Join Martha for a journey back about 100 years in time as
she shares many pieces from her Victorian/Edwardian clothing collection.
With each item, a bit of sewing history has been preserved and each seamstress left a personal legacy in
the masterpieces that you will see in this show. Enjoy the exquisite hand embroideries, many of which have
been digitized for today’s embroidery machines. Christening dresses, nightgowns, elaborate women’s dresses,
blouses and children’s garments, are treasures which Martha has collected from her travels from three
continents.
Martha will also share stories about her journeys with Joe on the never ending search for
more "white clothes," and she will pass the clothes around so you can actually see and touch and
feel some of the clothes you have enjoyed reading in her books.

Lace Shaping from A-Z
Did you know that there are only 3 techniques for lace shaping? Curving, mitering and flip-flopping -
each one is EASY. Come and practice lace shaping "hands on" as you curve and miter lace.
Martha herself will show you the flip-flopping technique. After this "cardboard box" class
you will be ready to make the dress of your dreams like the ones you see in Sew Beautiful magazines
and in Martha’s books. Start dreaming of lace hearts, diamonds, ovals, and scalloped skirts-your list
will go on and on-because the mystery of lace shaping will be solved. We’ll furnish everything you need
to make beautiful designs appear like magic and before you leave, you’ll be saying, "I can't
believe how easy this is."

Your three days will include hands-on classes, fun with fantastic kits, the best teachers in the world, lunches, an evening dessert reception and lots of other goodies.
