Celebrated sewing expert Gretchen Hirsch shows you how to transform knits and stretch fabrics into glamorous vintage looks inspired by Coco Chanel, Claire McCardell, Madame Grès, and more.

Knit fabrics are easy to fit, have a lovely drape, and are known for being comfortable and effortless—all things that appeal to both designers and home sewists. But sewing with knit fabrics can be tricky.

Gertie Sews Glam Knits shares Gertie’s sewing secrets to teach readers how to stitch knit fabrics with ease (and without special equipment). There are few books available on sewing with knit fabrics, and even fewer that offer both instruction and patterns for coveted vintage styles that are sized to fit modern figures.

The book includes printable A0 and tiled letter/A4-sized PDF patterns for:

• The Jewel Neck Top
• The Surplice Top
• The Halter Top
• The Pencil Skirt
• The Side Draped Skirt
• The Tap Shorts

Plus pattern-drafting hacks to turn those six patterns into a many more different looks!
