Gertie Sews Vintage Casual

A Modern Guide to Sportswear Styles of the 1940s and 1950s

Gretchen Hirsch

Description

The mid-20th century was an amazing time for sportswear – think wide-legged trousers, playful beach rompers, '50s style shorts, casual dresses, fitted capri pants and casual jackets and coats.

Gertie Sews Vintage Casual is organised into two major sections – Techniques and Projects. In the first part, the author focuses on techniques that are specific to sportswear, such as buttonholes, collars, interfacings, pockets for shirts, special considerations when working with knit fabrics and the intricacies of pant-making.

The projects in the Part II are designed to work as a complete casual wardrobe.
