Gretchen â€œGertieâ€ Hirsch is a passionate home seamstress, a sought-after sewing teacher, and the creator of one of the webâ€™s most popular sewing blogs: Gertieâ€™s New Blog for Better Sewing. The blog began as a way for readers to follow Hirschâ€™s progress as she stitched all 14 fashions from the iconic 1950s sewing book ,Vogueâ€™s New Book for Better Sewing, (a ,Julie & Julia,â€“esque experiment for the modern sewist). It quickly became a place for Hirsch to share tutorials and lively posts about sewing as it relates to fashion history, pop culture, body image, and gender. An extension of the blog, ,Gertieâ€™s New Book for Better Sewing, is a hardworking reference title packed with lessons on couture techniques and customization, as well as an inimitable pattern collection featuring 25 wardrobe essentials and variations inspired by vintage fashion and Gertieâ€™s spirited, modern style.
