Martha's Windowpane Shirt

 Spiritual -  Divine wisdom, perfect knowledge of God, is also perfect knowledge of all that exists and all that will ever exist - there is no error in it because it is eternal and immutable truth.  Therefore, God knows  everything about us, the most secret movements of our hearts.  "Let us ask Him for the grace to know ourselves in His light, in His eternal truth."  Divine Mercy

Sewing - I saw this jacket on one of my instructors while taking a certification course at Martha Pullen's in Huntsville, Ala.  I knew I'd be making one.  This project begins with one of her windowpane shirts.  I chose several designs from the Baby Vintage II collection of embroidery designs to machine embroidery in some of the "windowpane" squares. and on the yoke back.  The rounded tail is cut off and about 6 inches of the cuff is cut off.  The edges of the newly squared bottom and three-quarter cuff are serged and a lace is sewn on.  The lace is 1 1/2 inches wide.

I have windowpane shirts  in several colors and the lace in the shop. This is a quick and fun project.  Martha has a summer one in which she embroider stick figures and embroidered her grandchildrens' names on each square - darling!
