But I'm with you about having to watch Susan's class one video at a time. Each chapter is, IMO, overwhelming. I feel tired just to watch her doing her stuff. But that is just what couture sewing is, no? Watching her class is a confirmation for me that garment sewing IS a lot of work. The best thing I've learned form Susan's class is her decision making. Sometimes she does it while rambling. Thinking out loud, I would say. Another thing is, that I've always been a bookish and from her I've learned that I can have my own freedom to make it work, common sense wise.Stefani Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-51673355711846378562012-02-23T09:28:34.040+01:002012-02-23T09:28:34.040+01:00The suit class is great to learn about tailoring, ...The suit class is great to learn about tailoring, even if you don't make this jacket you can learn a lot and make a coat or a completely different jacket.<br />Susan Khalje is extremely informative as well, I just find that I feel like watching one of her lessons once in a while, while I watched 13 Gertie's classes in 2 days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257107220239855862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-74959938757394765662012-02-23T09:25:12.464+01:002012-02-23T09:25:12.464+01:00Yes, the newsletter is great.

I'll probably end up signing up for the suit just to learn more even though I don't actually need a suit.

I'd always wanted to take a pantsmaking class he had in NYC with Sew Fast Sew Easy but then that store went out of business unfortunately. I've been teetering on the edge of getting both of these, since I bought the bombshell dress class last year and haven't even watched a single video yet, but the 50% off is indeed hard to let go by.KWuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04969442660664176005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-75718753351498480092012-02-22T16:02:08.334+01:002012-02-22T16:02:08.334+01:00Yes, Sewn, that's right, Gertie is a student o...Yes, Sewn, that's right, Gertie is a student of Susan Khalje.

I agree with Gertie when she says that this process can be a bit too fussy at times, in fact one thing I really like about her is how she suggests quicker techniques that save you time and patience without compromising the final result.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257107220239855862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-66012800487046815352012-02-22T14:08:36.372+01:002012-02-22T14:08:36.372+01:00Yes, they're definitely advanced classes.

I started working on the muslin for it tonight, I can't wait to start the pad stitching! I've made my muslin for the couture dress too - I'm finding it hard to stay motivated on it though - everything is so painstaking, but maybe once I start with the fashion fabric it will be more interesting.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665152222823096026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-44458559262596703112012-02-22T12:06:48.061+01:002012-02-22T12:06:48.061+01:00I signed up for the Couture Dress too.
