Slip Sew-Along #9: Introducing Gertie's Sewing Show!

Cool news, readers. I've been working on a new series of videos that I'm calling Gertie's Sewing Show. The motto? "Non-stop excitement for the sewing nerd!" I've integrated episode 1 with our slip sew-along. We've filmed ten episodes so far, so there's lots more excitement to come.

Special thanks to Elna, and my amazing group of friends who helped make this happen. More to come! Subscribe to my YouTube channel to make sure you don't miss any episodes.

  1. Awesome Possum! And your violet hair looks so nice against the turquoise background. :)

    Do you think it would be possible to have some "overhead" shots of your hands when you are positioning things and hand stitching. It's a little tough to see what you're doing at certain points. Other than that suggestion, I am in love with this.

  2. Congrats! That IS exciting news! I like to have podcasts and vlogs on while I sew so I'm delighted to have another awesome show to watch/listen to.
    Also... I LOVE that peg board behind you. I've been meaning to get one for my sewing room, but all the brooklyn hardware stores are always "out of stock". :/

  3. My burning question: Is that floor cork? In tiles? I would love to know more about it, and how it feels for standing on a lot (I do most of my not-actually-at-the-sewing-machine work while standing).

  9. I agree with Tilly--- you DO need a Gertie Jingle----- and a catchy intro, like a mashup of Bewitched and Mission Impossible! SO excited for your continued success!

  10. That is wonderful news! I'd love to do some educational videos as well, but am not as technical or photogenic as you. Looking forward to them :)

  16. I loved watching this! It's really helpful and clear, and you and your sewing room look so cute. Can I ask who makes the wrist pincushion you're wearing?

  17. Gertie, wonderful! I wish you much success.

  18. After 9:00 why don't you just change the order and sew the lace to the slider first? It wouldn't be tricky then. :)

  19. Just a question: Could you use a zipper foot when sewing on the ring to be able to get close to the ring and not hit the ring itself? Just wondering because my handsewing is not as secure sometimes as I would like! Thks

  20. Will you be doing a sew along for your swimsuit pattern? My plan is to tackle it this summer, but I've never sewn one before! Excited/nervous!

  21. This is useful and congrats!

    I will definitely be watching to bring up my techniques.
