Booking Away

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!

    Thanks 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.

    '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.

    Well 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.
    btw 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.

    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!

    Congrats! 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?

    The rose dress Gertie is wearing is the Shirtwaist Dress with elastic shirring in the back from her first book. :)

    I 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!
