Heirloom and Beyond is a Martha Pullen Teacher Licensing curriculum filled with a fantastic collection of projects! This curriculum is perfect for the sewist who likes to sew it all. It includes 20+ projects, including a beautiful christening gown, baby things, children and adult garments, doll dresses, home decorating items, tote and purses, and an heirloom quilt. The project styles range from traditionally heirloom to classically trendy, and they vary from simple and quick to longer and more extensive. There is something for everyone!

Originally offered as an in-person licensing event, this course is now available to take online for the very first time with educators Kathy McMakin, Connie Palmer, Alicia Welcher, Barbara Moore, Lori Hernandez, and Marsha Kirsch. Students in this online course will receive step-by-step video tutorials and downloadable instructions/patterns for all 20+ projects, plus dozens of technique videos, machine embroidery designs that you can use on your licensing projects if desired (the embroidery is not required), business tips, and more.

This course is currently open for registration. Here's how it will work: The course will begin on March 22, 2021 and run through September 10, 2021. NOTE: New registrants will be accepted until two months before the course end date. During that time, there will be eight required assignments (three technique samples and five projects) that you will need to make and submit photos of through the site. Those assignments will be graded by our licensing instructors and, upon completion, you’ll receive your teacher's license. Once you have your license, you’ll co-own the copyright for all the written instructions/patterns for the projects included in this licensing. That means you’ll be able to copy the exclusive licensed materials to share with your students if you choose to teach, make the projects for sale without limit or just sew them for your own enjoyment. No matter what your reason is for joining us, this course is sure to take your sewing skills to new heights. After the course is over, you will still have access to all the videos and resources on the site – that access will not expire!

The projects in every licensing collection are unique to that particular licensing, so no one else will have your projects other than the students who are licensed in the same curriculum. Whether you plan to teach, make items to sell or simply advance your own sewing skills and pleasure, this outstanding collection of memorable projects and techniques provides everything you’re looking for. We love to sew, we love learning new things about sewing, and we especially love to share it all with you. We invite you to sign up today and join the fun!

Optional supply bundles for this course are available to purchase on www.thesewingcollection.com.
