Hello, readers! Just popping in to say hi. I had a fabulous
book signing at the New York Sheep and Wool Festival over the weekend. Jeff came along as "Mr. Gertie" (I swear, I'm going to have that printed on a t-shirt for him), and snapped this picture of me. My favorite part of the picture is the Diet Coke at my side--so typical.
Anyway, I'm working away on the many garments for book 2,
Gertie Sews Vintage Casual. The photo shoot is next week, people! The good news is that everything is coming together beautifully. I am totally in the zone, as they say. I can't wait to show you the designs!

Can't wait to see them!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! I love your little info posts - just checking in with us faithful readers. You're looking fabulous. Remind me - that's a Gertie original dress, right? Love the red and pink together (one of my favorite color combos). Best of luck with the shooting.
ReplyDeleteAw Gertie... you look radiant. Can't wait for book 2! x
ReplyDelete'Mr gertie ' this has made me chuckle, you should so do the t-shirt thing! Can't wait to see what you've made for book 2. Hope the photo shoot goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteI really, really want to make a trip to Rhinebeck next year. You look gorgeous! I hope your book signing was a huge success.
ReplyDeleteWell done Gertie! I've followed your blog for about 3 years, and seen your progress. But you still give us sewers the practical advice we need.
ReplyDeletebtw I have a frock like the one you're wearing in the photo - I bought it from a second hand stall in our local market, (Mirande, France) really retro, and in perfect condition. I wear it a lot.
Good news! Can't wait to see the new garments.
ReplyDeleteMany greetings from Germany.

Can't wait to see the new book! I've checked out your first one from the library twice and it's on my amazon wish list. Hopefully I'll get it for Christmas!
ReplyDeletewoohoo! Can't wait for book 2!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Can't wait to see the photo shoot. Have to admit I'm obsessing over the dress you're wearing in this photo. Is it your design?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new book!
ReplyDeleteSeriously looking forward to the new book!
ReplyDeleteI think that meeting you at Rhinebeck was one of the highlights of my trip there. Thanks for doing the book signing, and can't wait for your next book!

ReplyDeleteThe rose dress Gertie is wearing is the Shirtwaist Dress with elastic shirring in the back from her first book. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the first book; can't wait for the second one one...
ReplyDeleteLooking gorg as always.
I cannot wait for book two! Here in the UK we are planing a sew a long based on a book one pattern in the new year!
ReplyDeleteI posted a wee bit about you on my blog yesterday at http://bugandsquish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/feeling-inspired.html?m=1
Keep up the good work and you look fab in the pic!
Yippie! Im so excited! Do you think it will be out by March? (That's my b'day!)
ReplyDeleteIt was so lovely to meet you, and I can't wait for the new book!
ReplyDeleteGertie, I'm lovin the new pink hair! So cute.
ReplyDeleteCuuuuute hair!
ReplyDeleteI walked past you at Rhinebeck and it took me HOURS to figure out how/why I knew you. You'd think with the pink hair, it would be more obvious but I simply could not place you. Hope you had a wonderful time. This was my eighth year at Rhinebeck and I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your book and I can't wait for your next one! :) Hooray!
