Gretchen Hirsch Shows How To Make a Vintage Skirt on It's Sew Easy (101-1)

[@Marialla.]

So few people talk about horsehair braid, it's nice to see it demonstrated and get some good tips for how to use it!

[@janeseemann2527]

I have been sewing for almost my entire life and I literally only found about horsehair braid today! I can’t wait to make something now! 🧵 😀

[@cellolalia]

Thanks for posting on KZbin. I've always wanted to try this technique. Gertie is a gem!

[@Zumbador]

Simply beautiful. Clear voice and explanations. Thank you.

[@abelincoln95]

Wow! I totally get Gertie now. Present day she has lost weight & gotten a bunch of tattoos. Still love her projects, but she has morphed... What a difference 7 or 8 years makes...

I use horsehair on satin and other fine fabrics for Prom and wedding gowns. If you don't want a visible hem on the right side of the fabric, you can do a blind hem stitch, placing your presser foot on the horsehair. If your thread is a good match to the fabric, and your stitch width is set properly, the stitches will be virtually invisible on fashion fabric.

What fabric is the blue skirt? I like it a lot and I would like to use it for making Vintage Skirt & Cummerbund Sewing Pattern S3841 pattern. Thanks

[@ponyabouttown4981]

Would a walking foot help to prevent the puckering you warn against at around 7:33?

[@sharonkane3031]

Great tutorial. What is the name/number of the skirt pattern. Thanks.

[@queenbee56100]

This is an awesome video....when I lived in Los Angeles 30 years ago, I use to go to the thrift stores and buy my clothes. I always wore dresses from the 40's. I loved the rhimestones on the top front of the dresses, with heels. Thank you

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Awesome, is this pattern downloadable?

[@junierichardson7157]

one is never too old to learn...thanks...very interesting...and you are so cute looking.....great tutorial....slow and understanding..thanks again.

[@chaundasumara]

How do I get the pattern? I would love to wear it to church tomorrow

[@elitasergejeva7391]

Super.Thank you

[@janeseemann2527]

Very cool!

[@RuaHannah]

The only thing I've ever sewn before is an apron, and I've darned socks. Do you think this is too big of a project for me to take on? My Mum has a lovely sewing machine I can use... which fabric is best for this type of skirt and for a beginner? GREAT VIDEO BY THE WAY!

[@unluckymoirai]

Where do you get your products from? And what type of sewing machine is that?

[@kndpad]

I would like to make a pinafore style dress so you have a suggestion please

[@LQT]

Hello I have seen this 50s skirts were the skirt has fullness from top to bottom, can I use horsehair braid from top to bottom, or how I get that fullness without using tutu-like.

[@tuffydoodle]

Love Gertie! Took her bombshell dress class on craftsy.com and I'm so glad I did. Learned a ton of new techniques and made a beautiful dress. I preordered her book on amazon, can't wait 'til I get it!

[@biddydonnelly2097]

Where can I get the pattern?

[@distinctivefabric3083]

this is great.. love the skirt.

[@ytCydonia]

Where did you bougt the horsebraid ? I am in Canada and I did not found it in store.

[@dianadivadiamond]

I love the skirt. My only problem is that I may not get the Horsehair for the tail of the skirt. I love the effect it gives it. Wowwwww.

[@junepirtle893]

I wore these skirts in the 1950’s. We never put the final line of stitching on with the sewing machine. That was done by hand. They are very comfortable to wear and flatter most ladies.

[@cutiedoggy475]

Which fabric is the skirt?

[@sewknitbeadgrandma]

Thank you for the tip on how to apply horsehair to a skirt.

[@kimismonkey]

what pattern did she use for the skirt?

[@joannavictorio1765]

Hi! Did you use soft or stiff horsehair??

[@juliegathman2923]

That's my question too.

[@kimismonkey]

@ksproductionstv thank you =)

[@nancyoleksy]

Hate when they say they will show you how to make a skirt or whatever and like this she is mostly just talking about the hem and the horsehair. I want to see the project from beginning to end.

[@destinycurry7008]

Where do you get your fabrics from

[@Chowah]

Link to the pattern?

[@morgannwilliams967]

Maybe you would be able to put links but like (3w's)(dot)google(dot)com...I saw someone do that somewhere. lol. I'm so excited to find your KZbin channel!

[@ViennaPink]

I love that the network made her cover up her tattoos for the show lol

[@sew.quilt.crafts.arts.jewelry.]

[@theheidiberryable]
