It’s a unique educational experience, blending the love of sewing, serging and machine embroidery with skill-building and business opportunity – all in one spectacular course.

Beautiful clothing for children is all about style and construction details – and the Children’s Garment Construction licensing curriculum provides you with more than 30 different children’s garment projects, with the teaching focus on designer-worthy construction techniques. Join nationally recognized educators, including Missy Billingsley, Sis Hutchison, Kathy McMakin, Connie Palmer and Alicia Welcher, for an information-packed course with all the instruction, inspiration and motivation you need to make your dream of a sewing business a reality. Your Martha Pullen Teacher Licensing faculty is the most machine-and-technique savvy group around. Extraordinarily generous with their knowledge, they will be available to answer questions, give advice and enjoy your successes throughout the course.

If you’ve ever wondered how to best construct collars, plackets, hem finishes, sleeves and garment closures, your Martha Pullen faculty will show you! You’ll wonder why you ever struggled with lining a child’s garment once you learn simple and quick-to-construct methods – the ones that can be adapted to any garment in any size. Garments will be age appropriate and fall within a range of sizes 2-6 for many of the boy garments and 2-8 for most of the girl garments. Once you master the techniques from this licensing, you’ll be able to take any pattern and construct the garment exactly the way you want it to be, no matter what the size.

Enjoy learning the best (fastest, easiest and most successful) techniques and become familiar with some of the finest fabrics, threads, laces and embellishments with the guidance of the world’s foremost sewing faculty. You can use what you learn for your own sewing – becoming better and more confident doing what you love always delivers immense personal satisfaction.

Or, you can share it with others! When you become a Martha Pullen Licensed Teacher, you’ll be recognized throughout the sewing industry as a premier sewing instructor. As part of the Children’s Garment Construction online licensing course, you will receive the exclusive, ready-to-teach curriculum of more than 20 wonderful projects, for which you will co-own the copyright along with Martha Pullen Company, forever. You can either make the projects for sale without limit or, if you are teaching, you can copy the project instructions to share with your students. Only those licensed for a particular curriculum can sell or teach these special projects. You will also receive the multi-formatted embroidery files for all the embroideries used in Children’s Garment Construction.

If you have no plans to use these projects for business, that’s OK too! You’ll have the ability to create unique, superbly designed gifts with confidence, and use the techniques you’ve learned in all your other sewing. There is no substitute for having the confidence to tackle any project you like – and that’s what you get when you participate in Children’s Garment Construction online licensing.

Whether you are creating for your own personal satisfaction, making items to sell or teaching others these valuable techniques, the Martha Pullen Online Teacher Licensing course delivers an incredible experience and value. Each licensing curriculum includes a unique collection of projects, with all the techniques needed to make each and every one of the projects demonstrated, step-by-step.

While you may see favorite techniques repeated from project-to-project or from licensing-to-licensing, the projects themselves, complete with the finest details and special touches, are unique to their own Licensing curriculum.

How you use the more than 30 exclusive projects you receive is up to you. If you'd like to teach, you can use them to teach classes at a local store, evening classes or start an in-home sewing education business. Or, customize the class projects any way you like to make and resell for profit to local retailers, at local fairs or online.
