Martha Campbell Pullen

Martha Campbell Pullen’s first foray in the sewing industry was in 1981, when she opened a fabrics shop in Huntsville, Alabama, quickly establishing a reputation for fine European imports.. In 1983 she published her first book, “French Hand Sewing by Machine,” which sold more than 50,000 copies. In the following years she launched Sew Beautiful, a bi-monthly magazine that brought new awareness of top designers to the sewing market. In print for more than 30 years, this magazine was a staple in the homes of sewists who loved to make beautiful garments. Her television show, Martha’s Sewing Room, aired in all 50 states and Canada for 17 years. After selling her company in 2012 to F+W Media Martha continued to collaborate for a few years, before retiring to devote time to her family. Sewing and teaching sewing motivates Martha, and she loves seeing the look of pride and joy on people’s faces when they learn a new technique. For this reason she could not stay away from her passion for sewing for too long. In  2022 she launched Rockstar Sewing by Martha Campbell Pullen Ph.D. and is debuting her first collections for Benartex “Bandana Medley” and “Veranda” in 2023
