Camille Sheath Dress Sewing Tutorial from Gertie's Charmed Sewing Studio
Welcome to the sewing tutorial for the Camille Sheath Dress from Gertie's Charmed Sewing Studio by Gretchen Hirsch. The Camille Sheath is a sleeveless dress with a unique and beautiful pleated neckline created by interior elastic. Roomy pockets (!!!) add to the gorgeous hourglass shape of the dress. You can learn more about the design process of the Camille Sheath and Alfred Shaheen, the designer who inspired it, in the book.
This video tutorial follows the book instructions step by step, and you can find links to individual steps by clicking on the timestamps below. We also have video tutorials for the two other patterns in the book -- The Madeleine Dress (ua-cam.com/video/Y0gKrGYUel0/v-deo.html) and the Lillian Jacket (ua-cam.com/video/DqcT2ASUU0Q/v-deo.html). If you're new to working with patterns in PDF format, we have a very helpful tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/D_oAxtvpZHQ/v-deo.html
The Camille Sheath pattern is available in Charm Pattern sizes 2-20 and 18-34 (with A-H cup sizes). You can learn more about the book and how to order here: charmpatterns.com/shop/gerties-charmed-sewing-studio-book/

    On making the skirt, cutting the skirt out shoulders be done so that the skirt is hanging with the warp of the fabric, NOT the weft. It will hang much better and not "poof" out.

My Gran used to say if you want to look glamorous on the outside don't worry about the underneath just wear the underwear that works.. In the UK we call big knickers "apple catchers" . Always made me laugh but it's so true 😂

    I have 3 of your books. I bought them for myself for my bday. I’m almost ready to get started. A few questions…. 1. I am 2 seperate sizes so an 18/20 on top but a 4-6 on the bottom. How would o do this? Separates, that’s east to figure, but I want the whole cute dress. How would I do that.. 2. How do I determine how mmuch material to buy? 2. Can you make a video on making the undergarments? I’d love to make my self things to fit.

    Dear Gertie, I just stumbled over your UA-cam channel and subscribed on the spot. Put myself on your mailing list, too. I have shamed my mother, a wannabe Hippy, since first grade in 1967 because I loved Victorian and 50's fashions. My only complaint is that I live on the Oklahoma side of a Texas boarder town, and the closest fabric stores are 325 or 360 miles away, discounting Walmart's pre-cut one yard pieces of quilting cotton. Any recommendations for online fabric shops that suit your patterns?

    Having had the amazing opportunity to be in the studio makes this book all the more special to me. It will be a treasured item to add to all of my patterns and Charm/Gertie memorabilia. The format of this book is truly unique, as it's a bit of a departure from Gertie's other sewing books. This one allows us into her thought process and into her world at Charm Studio. The patterns included with book are mouth watering and absolutely achievable. Gertie gives over-all instructions in the book, but then also includes access to an in-depth, step-by-step video tutorial for each pattern. I learned to sew with Gertie videos during the pandemic lockdown, from scratch. She is a Queen at teaching. I love this book. Thank you Gertie and everyone at Charm.💞

    Got my new book yesterday and soooo disappointed the paper patterns are not included with this book Gertie. It’s my own fault for not making sure the paper patterns were included before I ordered it. The book price plus the pdf pattern fee is out of my budget right now so I’ll have to return it 😢.

    • @GertiesWorld
      @GertiesWorld Місяць тому

      Hi there! We decided to make the patterns for this book pdf only so that we could include our full Charm size range (2-20 and 18-34 with separate A-H cup sizes). The inclusiveness of the size range included, plus the complexity of the patterns for this book, meant that the paper sheets would not have physically fit in the book! While I know that many of you are used to the paper patterns that were included with my previous books, I hope you’ll agree that the much more inclusive size range makes it worth it. Additionally, we made sure to include both print-at-home and copy-shop options, and give a detailed pattern piece location guide so that you can print economically (you don’t have to print every piece or size!).
