商品簡介
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
《針影絮語:現代縫紉的藝術與實踐》 一部旨在激發靈感、精進技藝的綜閤性縫紉寶典,深入探索從基礎理論到高級定製的廣闊領域。 導言:重燃對手工的熱情與敬畏 在這個被快速消費品主導的時代,我們呼喚一種迴歸本質、注重細節的生活態度。縫紉,這門古老而常新的技藝,恰恰是這種態度的完美載體。它不僅僅是將兩塊布料連接起來的機械過程,更是一場與自我、與材料、與時間對話的藝術修行。《針影絮語》並非僅僅是操作指南的堆砌,它是一部緻力於提升製作者“眼界”與“手感”的深度讀物。我們相信,每一位拿起針綫的人,無論初涉茅廬還是經驗豐富,都渴望超越“製作完成”的層麵,達到“創作完美”的境界。本書將帶您深入探究現代縫紉背後的哲學、材料科學的奧秘以及跨越文化界限的設計語言。 第一部分:材料的深度對話——縴維、肌理與生命的感知 縫紉的基石在於對麵料的深刻理解。本書將徹底顛覆您對“布料商店”的既有印象,將其視為一個充滿無限可能性的實驗室。 第一章:縴維的生命周期與觸覺密碼 天然縴維的呼吸: 深入解析棉、麻、絲、羊毛的微觀結構。討論如何通過光澤、垂墜感和耐用性指標來判斷其優劣。特彆收錄瞭“靜電反應測試”和“水滴滲透實驗”,幫助讀者在實際操作中快速識彆麵料的親水性和透氣性。 人造縴維的進化論: 從早期粘膠縴維到現代高性能聚酯和功能性尼龍,探討閤成材料在運動服、戶外用品中的應用。重點分析環保型再生縴維(如RPET)的結構穩定性和染色特性。 混紡的藝術與陷阱: 深入講解不同比例混紡對麵料手感、縮水率和熨燙要求的實際影響。提供一個詳盡的“混紡麵料處理速查錶”,涵蓋絲/羊毛、棉/滌綸等常見組閤。 第二章:織物肌理與結構分析 超越基礎的平紋、斜紋和緞紋,本章聚焦於復雜組織結構對服裝形態的決定性影響。 緯綫與經綫的交響: 詳細圖解提花、燈芯絨、泡泡紗等特殊組織的麵料剖麵圖,解釋其內在的張力分布。 方嚮性與裁片布局: 探討麵料的“經嚮”、“緯嚮”和“斜嚮”對服裝閤體性的至關重要性。提供專業級的“紋理對齊指南”,確保條紋、格紋和人字紋在接縫處實現完美無縫的視覺過渡。 襯裏與襯墊的隱形支撐: 不隻是為瞭保暖,襯布是塑形的關鍵。對比分析鴿子蛋襯、樹脂襯、毛襯、粘閤襯的特性,以及針對不同麵料(如薄紗、厚呢子)選擇最佳襯裏材料的決策樹。 第二部分:工具的哲學與精準的運用 工具是工匠的延伸。本書摒棄瞭對廉價工具的簡單介紹,轉而關注專業級工具的選擇、維護與精神內涵。 第三章:針、綫、刀——微觀世界的武器庫 綫的張力與命運: 探討不同材質的縫紉綫(聚酯、棉包滌綸、絲綫)在不同麵料上的錶現。詳細講解縫紉機張力調節的數學模型,如何通過微調張力解決“打結”、“拉扯”和“綫跡不均勻”的問題。 鋒利的智慧: 裁刀的選擇與磨礪。提供一套“保持刀刃生命力”的日常維護流程,並深入分析日本“町”式裁刀與德國“索林根”裁刀在切割精密度上的差異。 機器的靈魂: 聚焦於工業級與傢用電腦縫紉機的工作原理差異。提供一套“故障排除光譜”,從電源到送布牙的每一個機械部件,均提供深入的診斷和用戶級維護建議。 第三部分:結構構建——從二維到三維的轉化 本部分是本書的核心,它將指導讀者掌握服裝結構工程學的關鍵技能。 第四章:版型的解構與重構 人體測量學的精確性: 不僅是測量尺寸,更是理解身體的“動態空間”。介紹“活動量”(Ease)的計算方法,並闡述如何根據不同的服裝風格(修身、寬鬆、結構性)調整基礎省道。 省道與褶襇的雕塑力: 深入探討省道(Darts)如何通過空間轉移來模擬三維麯麵。通過大量實物剖析圖,展示領口、袖窿、腰部省道在不同麵料上的“吃進”技巧。 接縫的未來: 對比分析法國接縫、挪威接縫、開放式接縫等多種接縫工藝的耐久性、美觀度及其適用場景。重點介紹如何使用包邊條和滾邊技術,提升內裏結構的精緻度。 第五章:立體裁剪的直覺訓練 立體裁剪(Draping)是通往高級定製的必經之路。本書強調的是對布料“重力感”和“彈性”的培養。 基礎模型與假體構建: 如何在人颱(Dress Form)上利用牛皮紙和普通坯布,搭建齣基礎的緊身上衣和裙裝原型。 褶皺的語言: 學習如何引導麵料在身體麯綫上形成自然的、具有設計感的褶皺(如巴托領、魯茲褶)。本章附帶多組慢動作視頻解析(此處為文字描述),展示褶皺的“形成點”和“固定點”。 復雜麯綫的平衡: 掌握袖山、駁頭(Lapel)與翻領(Collar)的“立裁懸垂點”,確保這些結構部件在穿著時能自然優雅地“站立”起來。 第四部分:應用與精神升華——設計思維與可持續實踐 第六章:定製的邊界——從修復到再創造 高級修復的藝術(Visible Mending): 探討如何將日本的“金繕”哲學融入縫紉修復中。介紹Sashiko(刺子綉)在結構加固和美學錶達上的雙重作用,將破損轉化為新的設計元素。 可持續性與零廢棄設計(Zero-Waste): 提供一套係統的零廢棄版型設計方法論,教會讀者如何利用幾何學原理,最大限度地減少邊角料的産生,實現從設計源頭到成品的全流程環保。 跨界靈感汲取: 引導讀者從建築學、雕塑、傳統服飾(如日本和服的結構、中世紀歐洲的緊身胸衣)中汲取靈感,將曆史智慧融入現代設計。 結語:永無止境的精進之路 縫紉的魅力在於它永不固定的終點。每一次的打樣,每一次的試穿,都是一次新的學習。《針影絮語》旨在為您提供堅實的理論基礎和前沿的實踐視野,讓您的縫紉之旅不僅是技能的積纍,更是對美與秩序的持續探索。願您的針腳,成為時間長河中最有力的印記。
