商品简介
Gretchen "Gertie" Hirsch is a passionate home seamstress, a sought-after sewing teacher, and the creator of one of the web's most popular sewing blogs: Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. The blog began as a way for readers to follow Hirsch's progress as she stitched all 14 fashions from the iconic 1950s sewing book
Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing (a
Julie & Julia-esque experiment for the modern sewist). It quickly became a place for Hirsch to share tutorials and lively posts about sewing as it relates to fashion history, pop culture, body image, and gender. An extension of the blog,
Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing is a hardworking reference title packed with lessons on couture techniques and customization, as well as an inimitable pattern collection featuring 25 wardrobe essentials and variations inspired by vintage fashion and Gertie's spirited, modern style.
Praise for
Gertie's New Book For Better Sewing: "If you read Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing, you already know that Gretchen Hirsch is all about teaching basic sewing skills that some of us (guilty ) may have skipped right over when we learned to sew. Now you can find all of Gretchen's sewing knowledge in one place." --Martha Stewart.com
"Like her blog, Hirsch's book is like a chat with a friend who happens to be an expert seamstress. Even if the vintage-inspired garments aren't your style, there's plenty to learn from this book." --
Library Journal "The styles are all rocked out with the tattoo-clad Gertie as the model. If you love a retro pattern, then this book is the one for you." --CraftGossip.com
"White paper templates, not tissue These will make it easier to trace." --
Sew Spoiled"I personally love the finishing details on well-made garments and found this book to be a fantastic resource for adding techniques to my repertoire." --ThreadBias.com
"Maybe my faaavorite part of the book is the Vintage to Modern dictionary. If you ever use vintage patterns or shop for vintage or retro-y clothes, you'll love this spread " --
Adventures in Dressmaking "The featured wealth of skills in a range of garment-sewing techniques are perfect for the home sewer with a thirst to learn how to create pieces for her own wardrobe." -- EcoSalon.com
"Her new book is an excellent extension of the blog that includes a fantastic collection of nine patterns to create your own vintage-inspired wardrobe." --SewNews.com
"One of my favourite aspects of the book is that it pulls back the curtain on construction and reveals what the insides of the garments look like. It's really helpful to take a peek at how another stitcher finishes her seams and keeps the whole thing hanging together--a very clever touch." --
Tilly and the Buttons "We love it, and we're so excited to have it in hand. It's wonderful to be able to infuse some "Gertie style" into our sewing. All the projects are great, and the layout of the book is really easy to use and navigate. It has a great vintage, yet modern look." --
Sew Mama Sew "
Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing is a fun, new pattern book, featuring sewing patterns that embody author Gretchen Hirsch's fresh take on vintage style."--CRAFTzine.com
"If you read
Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing, you already know that Gretchen Hirsch is all about teaching basic sewing skills that some of us (guilty ) may have skipped right over when we learned to sew. Now you can find all of Gretchen's sewing knowledge in one place." --MarthaStewartLiving.com
"This is not down-and-dirty sewing, but studied and time consuming. Which is awesome." --
Angry Chicken "Since most women are a size bigger in the hips than in the waist, the pattern proportions in the book are already adjusted to take this difference into account. When I read this in the sizing guide, I actually got out of my chair and did a little happy dance. Three cheers for patterns that are actually shaped like the women who will be using them " --
The Zen of Making "This book overflows with pictures, drawings and diagrams to ensure your sewing success. She also includes a whopping 25 patterns, making this book a steal Sure to be a reference for your sewing room and guaranteed to be a resource you turn to for zippers and buttons . . . even if you don't make a single pencil skirt." --
Generation Q Magazine "If you are a fan of the mid-century vintage look, this book is a must-buy. Hirsch's instructions are excellent, and use new technologies and techniques that didn't exist 50 years ago." --Examiner.com
《针影絮语:现代缝纫的艺术与实践》 一部旨在激发灵感、精进技艺的综合性缝纫宝典,深入探索从基础理论到高级定制的广阔领域。 导言:重燃对手工的热情与敬畏 在这个被快速消费品主导的时代,我们呼唤一种回归本质、注重细节的生活态度。缝纫,这门古老而常新的技艺,恰恰是这种态度的完美载体。它不仅仅是将两块布料连接起来的机械过程,更是一场与自我、与材料、与时间对话的艺术修行。《针影絮语》并非仅仅是操作指南的堆砌,它是一部致力于提升制作者“眼界”与“手感”的深度读物。我们相信,每一位拿起针线的人,无论初涉茅庐还是经验丰富,都渴望超越“制作完成”的层面,达到“创作完美”的境界。本书将带您深入探究现代缝纫背后的哲学、材料科学的奥秘以及跨越文化界限的设计语言。 第一部分:材料的深度对话——纤维、肌理与生命的感知 缝纫的基石在于对面料的深刻理解。本书将彻底颠覆您对“布料商店”的既有印象,将其视为一个充满无限可能性的实验室。 第一章:纤维的生命周期与触觉密码 天然纤维的呼吸: 深入解析棉、麻、丝、羊毛的微观结构。讨论如何通过光泽、垂坠感和耐用性指标来判断其优劣。特别收录了“静电反应测试”和“水滴渗透实验”,帮助读者在实际操作中快速识别面料的亲水性和透气性。 人造纤维的进化论: 从早期粘胶纤维到现代高性能聚酯和功能性尼龙,探讨合成材料在运动服、户外用品中的应用。重点分析环保型再生纤维(如RPET)的结构稳定性和染色特性。 混纺的艺术与陷阱: 深入讲解不同比例混纺对面料手感、缩水率和熨烫要求的实际影响。提供一个详尽的“混纺面料处理速查表”,涵盖丝/羊毛、棉/涤纶等常见组合。 第二章:织物肌理与结构分析 超越基础的平纹、斜纹和缎纹,本章聚焦于复杂组织结构对服装形态的决定性影响。 纬线与经线的交响: 详细图解提花、灯芯绒、泡泡纱等特殊组织的面料剖面图,解释其内在的张力分布。 方向性与裁片布局: 探讨面料的“经向”、“纬向”和“斜向”对服装合体性的至关重要性。提供专业级的“纹理对齐指南”,确保条纹、格纹和人字纹在接缝处实现完美无缝的视觉过渡。 衬里与衬垫的隐形支撑: 不只是为了保暖,衬布是塑形的关键。对比分析鸽子蛋衬、树脂衬、毛衬、粘合衬的特性,以及针对不同面料(如薄纱、厚呢子)选择最佳衬里材料的决策树。 第二部分:工具的哲学与精准的运用 工具是工匠的延伸。本书摒弃了对廉价工具的简单介绍,转而关注专业级工具的选择、维护与精神内涵。 第三章:针、线、刀——微观世界的武器库 线的张力与命运: 探讨不同材质的缝纫线(聚酯、棉包涤纶、丝线)在不同面料上的表现。详细讲解缝纫机张力调节的数学模型,如何通过微调张力解决“打结”、“拉扯”和“线迹不均匀”的问题。 锋利的智慧: 裁刀的选择与磨砺。提供一套“保持刀刃生命力”的日常维护流程,并深入分析日本“町”式裁刀与德国“索林根”裁刀在切割精密度上的差异。 机器的灵魂: 聚焦于工业级与家用电脑缝纫机的工作原理差异。提供一套“故障排除光谱”,从电源到送布牙的每一个机械部件,均提供深入的诊断和用户级维护建议。 第三部分:结构构建——从二维到三维的转化 本部分是本书的核心,它将指导读者掌握服装结构工程学的关键技能。 第四章:版型的解构与重构 人体测量学的精确性: 不仅是测量尺寸,更是理解身体的“动态空间”。介绍“活动量”(Ease)的计算方法,并阐述如何根据不同的服装风格(修身、宽松、结构性)调整基础省道。 省道与褶裥的雕塑力: 深入探讨省道(Darts)如何通过空间转移来模拟三维曲面。通过大量实物剖析图,展示领口、袖窿、腰部省道在不同面料上的“吃进”技巧。 接缝的未来: 对比分析法国接缝、挪威接缝、开放式接缝等多种接缝工艺的耐久性、美观度及其适用场景。重点介绍如何使用包边条和滚边技术,提升内里结构的精致度。 第五章:立体裁剪的直觉训练 立体裁剪(Draping)是通往高级定制的必经之路。本书强调的是对布料“重力感”和“弹性”的培养。 基础模型与假体构建: 如何在人台(Dress Form)上利用牛皮纸和普通坯布,搭建出基础的紧身上衣和裙装原型。 褶皱的语言: 学习如何引导面料在身体曲线上形成自然的、具有设计感的褶皱(如巴托领、鲁兹褶)。本章附带多组慢动作视频解析(此处为文字描述),展示褶皱的“形成点”和“固定点”。 复杂曲线的平衡: 掌握袖山、驳头(Lapel)与翻领(Collar)的“立裁悬垂点”,确保这些结构部件在穿着时能自然优雅地“站立”起来。 第四部分:应用与精神升华——设计思维与可持续实践 第六章:定制的边界——从修复到再创造 高级修复的艺术(Visible Mending): 探讨如何将日本的“金缮”哲学融入缝纫修复中。介绍Sashiko(刺子绣)在结构加固和美学表达上的双重作用,将破损转化为新的设计元素。 可持续性与零废弃设计(Zero-Waste): 提供一套系统的零废弃版型设计方法论,教会读者如何利用几何学原理,最大限度地减少边角料的产生,实现从设计源头到成品的全流程环保。 跨界灵感汲取: 引导读者从建筑学、雕塑、传统服饰(如日本和服的结构、中世纪欧洲的紧身胸衣)中汲取灵感,将历史智慧融入现代设计。 结语:永无止境的精进之路 缝纫的魅力在于它永不固定的终点。每一次的打样,每一次的试穿,都是一次新的学习。《针影絮语》旨在为您提供坚实的理论基础和前沿的实践视野,让您的缝纫之旅不仅是技能的积累,更是对美与秩序的持续探索。愿您的针脚,成为时间长河中最有力的印记。
