  • Friendly & Informative Chat

    Love the podcast! It feels like you’re listening to your good friends having a chat, and you usually get to learn something along the way! If you’re not learning about something in particular, you’re at least getting all the background on the thought process of Gertie’s work. It helps to put a smile on my face and boost my mood 😁👗🧵🪡🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

  • Another reason to love Gretchen

    This is my new favorite sewing podcast. Like the Gertie books, they are filled with fashion history, sewing tips, beautiful designs (that you can see in her links), and inspiration to try to create something that may have otherwise seemed intimidating. I think it’s wonderful that the audience gets to hear from Gretchen and to get to know her as a person instead of the focus being on her more public alter ego, Gertie. I can’t wait to sew more of her designs.
