Martha Pullen loves antique white clothes from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. She and her husband Joe traveled, from flea markets all over the world to fancy antique stores, collecting "white clothes." These clothes have allowed Martha and her students to connect with women from past generations. A former English teacher, Martha considers these clothes "poetry in lace and batiste." Tucks are one of the most popular techniques found on Martha’s clothing. There are many different types of tucks, and all of them are easy to do.
