Ok...this is very generous and kind of you! I'm all in. Upgraded my Patreon AND going over to buy some patterns. I sure wish I could wear these, but my female friends in theater are very excited as they will benefit from this...Day one of 21 officially sheltering in place, San Jose, CA

You are such a great teacher, I have already learned so much from you .I want to never leave your site

SIS. You are literally the reason i bought a sewing machine (cheapy 80 bucks at walmart to try it out before going all in. ) Well the damn thing broke. So for Christmas this year my husband bought me a brand new Singer C5200❤️❤️ Dinner napkins have already been made, time to tackle dress making ☺️☺️ I just gotta figure out how to take measurements and learn to use them on where to cut or how much fabric to cut. Cheers❤️ Keep the videos coming sis ☺️👌👌👍. -Lee and Micah Jones.

I’m so greatful!! When I saw your stay at home sale I got the Liz dress pattern, Lamour dress pattern and the Dorothy bolero patter!! I have Crohn’s disease and am on immunosuppressants so I can’t leave the house currently and this gives me a lovely distraction and something to look forward to in these dark times. I love you Gertie you are amazing thank you for doing so much for us!!! ❤️❤️❤️

This dress looks amazing I got pattern book of yours as a gift, trying to find the correct fabric to make dress of really enjoy watching your videos of your style just gorgeous

[davidhutchison]

Love the fact you have different bust cup measurements on your pattern. My wife is a double D, and has to do a full bust alteration on most of the commercial patterns she uses. I'm working my way through. Gertie sews a Jiffy dress book, and can't wait to try this pattern.

It’s exactly the kind of dress I want the boning is very intimidating for my very basic sewing level anyone else done this that’s a newbie to sewing?

[reishawiebe]

I love watching your videos these days. I've started the hostess set and So excited to make this next! Just ordered my steel boning today! Love all these gorgeous vintage designs. I get so many compliments on the picnic blouse and skirt set. Can wait to see what other fun things I can make

[ElizabethJones-pvsj]

Thankyou for this, I'm going to make these videos my reward for a day's study (when you're studying online anyway nothing changes). While I personally need a dress with sleeves I feel like the techniques are adaptable for a lot of similar projects.

[jweg]

Incredible! I just bought the pattern and know I will need guidance. Was looking for the class on your site and happened upon it here. THANK YOU!!!!

[cassiehall]

As I said on pattern, you're so gorgeous for doing this. Lost of love

[CraftyCuriosity]

I did buy this class and I am so happy you are also offering it on your YouTube. I am also patreon member. Your patterns are the only patterns that give me a pattern I can make without all the FBA headaches. Thank you so much

[kellyaldridge]

Thank you so much for releasing this to the public! I just watched the whole series and had to buy the pattern. I have always been too intimidated to sew myself real garments, but this video walking us through every step makes me believe I can. I am so excited to start this dress, thank you! <3

[barbaragatley]

I recently found you and watched your entire Lamour Dress Class and just bought the pattern and recieved it in the mail!! I hope you keep this video up for a while and can't wait to start today.

[daphnekennedy]
