Omschrijving

Gertie Sews Jiffy Dresses is Gretchen Hirsch's modern reinvention of a simple idea, focusing on easily mastered sewing skills, minimal pattern pieces, and fabulous designs.

"Gretchen 'Gertie' Hirsch is a passionate home seamstress, a sought-after sewing teacher, and the creator of one of the web's most popular sewing blogs." --Creativebug

In the '50s and '60s, Simplicity released their popular line of Jiffy sewing patterns, which had minimal pattern pieces and simple constructions, yet were chic enough for fashion-conscious customers. This approach appeals now more than ever to stylish women who are continuously looking for ways to fit their love of sewing into busy lives packed with family, work, school, and countless other obligations.

With the lessons offered here, you can make a Popover Dress, Chemise Dress, Swirl Dress, Boatneck Dress, and Patio Dress. Everything you need is included: pattern maps, finished garment measurements, and more. And the best part? Readers will end up with a sparkling wardrobe of easy-to-wear, fun-to-style dresses that will fill busy modern lives with retro charm. Chapters include:

Supplies and Tools
Fabrics
Getting Ready to Sew
Dress Construction: The Basics
Dress Construction: Essential Skills
Trims and Flourishes
Fitting

Hirsch writes in her introduction, "So why did I write this book? Because I want to show that it's possible to cultivate real sewing skills without spending days or even weeks on a project. Sewing more projects means more practice!"

The vintage aesthetic of these projects will appeal to beginner and expert crafters alike. They stand on their own as great examples of retro fashion. They aren't just simple sewing projects. So, don't wait. Start sewing!
