Learn How to Make Gertie's Jiffy Popover Dress Sewing Tutorial Part Two

[@cindywinkler4172]

You are simply the BEST!! Thanks for going slow and explaining why you do things a certain way

[@ldgfwilliams]

I have wanted to learn to sew for years now and finally decided it was time to buckle down and give it a try. I have learned so much from your book. I decided to make this dress as my first real attempt at making something, and these videos were so helpful. I learned so many new skills just from making this one dress, and although it isn't perfect, I am very proud of it and can't wait to wear it out!

[@patricebennett1100]

Loved this, looks Amazing. I am going to buy your book. I’ve never sewed clothes but you inspire me. ❤

[@lindagreco6709]

Thanks for making these awesome videos! I recently received my book and I am excited to make this dress. Watching a video is helpful for someone who is "newish" to sewing. I especially like how you showed us how to do bias facing on the armholes and neckline in part 1.

[@amygathercole4078]

Thanks for these videos. I discovered the pop over dress this week and it's now my plan for my birthday dress In 2 weeks.. Book arrives tomorrow! Thanks for your amazingly filmed videos and explanations as always :)

Lovely dress, pockets be nice in plain or contrasting colour or pattern ,whatever you do you must have pockets in a dress! Great tutorial x

[@welshmountainsoap9474]

I have ordered another of your b9ks managed to get it from Amazon,( Gerties ultimate dress book) I am relearning to sew after a strike and as so looking forward to getting them xx

[@heidipucci9078]

Beautiful love this!

[@TheCartoonluver23]

I wanna make this dress so bad. Hopefully will get the book soon

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

Juat bought this book and can't wait to make your beautiful dresses Gertie

[@TheCakeBakingHomemaker]

Could this be tweaked to have sleeves and a front button for nursing? Love this style.

[@sandiepandieuk5066]

My copy of your book has arrived and I'm looking forward to making all projects starting with this dress (more than likely I will make three). I know that you are busy but can you consider a tutorial around the Patio Dress neckline/collar?

[@cwin1234]

Just ordered that book. Have to finish some projects while waiting for it to get here...

[@bmrs.g7108]

Thanks so much for this video do you have a tutorial for the Chemise dress from your book? I really love the square neckline with belt do you have a tutorial for that one too?

[@sweetcaroline68]

That would be so cute if I did a solid color for the pocket flaps & bows!

[@melissa8908]

Got my book in the mail yesterday and started cutting out the pattern for this dress last night. Could you please, please, please do a video on shirring the waist (how to shirr and, more importantly, how to now where to start and stop the shirring). Thanks!!

[@GertiesWorld]

I sadly don't have a lot of free time for making more videos right now, but I know this is a hot request! There are a lot of videos on shirring (I have one from several years ago). The top of the shirring line is marked on the pattern. Continue shirring in a spiral pattern for about 4.5" and end the stitching by connecting it with your previous spiral. The rows should be 1/4" apart.

[@melissa8908]

@@GertiesWorldThanks for the quick response. I must've missed the line on the pattern. I should probably look at things thoroughly before I jump in! :-)

[@annholmes9650]

Thanks for this demo, have just today ordered this book, can't wait for it to arrive. I'm jus sad that you didn't include a petticoat in the book. Once again, thank you so much x x x

[@Tina-bh5bf]

I made the dress finally and dang that was a lot of dress. My only problem with it is it doesn’t fit right on the back

[@rebeccaher1]

What type of sewing maskin would you recommend? I need to buy a new one and it is so difficult to know what is a ok maskin.

[@kimcaniglia2787]

Hi, just found you and I love your tutorials. Went to your web site to get the Jiffy Dresses but it was out of stock. Are more coming? Can you let me know when? Thank you!

[@GertiesWorld]

Getting items restocked is delayed right now because of COV-19. You can buy Jiffy Dresses from any book retailer if you'd like it now. I know Amazon has it is stock.

[@kimcaniglia2787]

@@GertiesWorld Thank you ! Looking forward to sewing these!

[@ingridkelly6103]

Why not sew the pocket on before sewing up the sides of the dress?

[@shirleyontiveros612]

How would you make a belt out of the same fabric? I think that would be nicer than one you buy. Any pattern for a belt? Thanks

[@Tinymouseknits]

Shirley Ontiveros I completely agree! so-sew-easy.com/80-free-belt-patterns-sewing/

[@rowdeo8968]

So I found her patterns in Butterick or simplicity pretty hard to not recognize her efforts!!!

[@misshunneebunnie]

Can you please link this belt? It is different than the one in the description box 💗💗💗

[@GertiesWorld]

I bought it on Amazon, but it’s no longer available there-sorry!

[@misshunneebunnie]

Gertie thank you! 💗

[@georgiatarifa3845]

@@GertiesWorld I love the fabric of the tutorial! Do you remember where you bought it?

[@sameoldsonganddance]

Someone bought me the Gertie Sews Jiffy dresses book and it only goes up to a size 16 I am a 20 help!!!

[@sandraobrien8705]

I would have loved to see how the dress looks when it isn't cinched in.

@@bonniebelair8470 ok, thanks Bonnie.

[@thr1ftyvintage692]

Please can you do a tutorial on the patio dress pls. Thank you for the popover tutorial too. I'd be lost without it.

[@loulagregg8468]

Gertie, I love the ease of the dress. I do not want as much of my 72 year old cleavage to show or the "relaxed muscles" under my arms to be waving with every gesture. Could add ons or redo's cover those figure flaws?

[@GertiesWorld]

You can raise the neckline without too much trouble. A separate bolero might work for some arm coverage.

[@loulagregg8468]

@@GertiesWorld Thank you for answering, Gertie. I appreciate your suggestions, which I believe, too, will work. You have great flair as well as kindness. May God continue to bless you and your endeavors. Loula

[@natilovesnails881]

The book is out of stock 😭 when will it be available

[@sameoldsonganddance]

Don’t bother it’s a nightmare pattern pieces need to be traced onto your own paper and by the way if you watched part 1 she totally skips the four dress bottom panels she just SKIPPED HOW TO MAKE THE DRESS, all she made was a big longish bodice ughhhhh I hate this book!!!! I have the princes coat book It includes actual pattern pieces that you don’t have to trace onto your own tracing paper so I don’t know what happened with this popover dress she just completely blew it all off makes no sense

[@abelincoln95]

Gretchen- What was the impetus for all your ink???

[@gleisetoledo6156]

[@cwin1234]

Bra strap tip! I have been going cross eyed doing a safety pin, uugh.

[@sameoldsonganddance]

Ok so I bought the book watched part one and now here we are in part 2 ... you NEVER MENTIONED the four A2 pattern pieces what the heck????
