Very thorough instructions. Vastly better than anything else on KZfaq - the other are truly miserable. I'm trying to do this in leather. The eyeshadow and lashes were not necessary but held my attention.

Wore one of these in the Women's Army Corp (WAC) 1967-1970.

I can't tell you how happy I am to find this today! I have been looking for *years* for a good garrison cap pattern - literally years. I found the patterns drawn out but no comprehensible instructions. This pattern and the video are *just* what I needed. Thank you so much!

Totally just switched to youtube by a random thought flitting through my head about this! SEW excited!! I just screamed when i saw this, problem is it's nearly 1am in the UK, my neighbours hate you gertie!! BUTi LOVE YOU!!!!!

Underrated sewing tutorial

I am in the Coast Guard and we still wear the garrison. I love your take on it!

This is the most exciting sewing pattern for accessories out there. Thanks a million for sharing, Gertie, you're a doll!

I just made 2 of these out of (too) thick felt for my daughter's school theater class. I added some silver braid and now 2 flight attendants are ready for the show. Thanks from Germany!

I can tell you’re a fun teacher that puts thought into themes and cool sewing projects! 👏👏👏Yayyyyy

This is adorable! I found your channel thru Pinterest, and Thank You for showing larger sizes in your patterns!

I just printed out the pattern & the instructions online, love the format you used & the little graphic of Hattie stole my heart. Too cute!! Also Bernice (your hat mannequin) is very dapper and her eyeliner is stunning! Whoever sculpted her and did her doll makeup is a very talented artist. Hugs-Everyone have a Magical Day

Oh! You luck people who get to watch live! I have to go to work. At least I have something to look forward to this evening. Happy Glamping everyone 💞

I love this pattern! I've made it several times now and it's great in every fabric!

So excited!!! Thank you so much for being so amazing 🤩 ❤️😍

❤❤❤ thanks for the free hat pattern . I will definitely make it later..

So cute..can't wait for this video..love your videos

Saved me from having to hot glue some foam and fabric to make a hat. Thank god!! I prefer sewing any day

The chapters are so helpful when I’m trying to rewatch a certain part

Hello , at last so happy , I love 💕 it , it will gô perfectly with the capelet

great instructions really enjoyed this video! these videos are time consuming to make but u did a great job!!

As I am a fighter-pilot-wannabe I'm in the process of creating my personal aviator style outfit. I didn't want to buy a surplus garrison cap to use for my outfit but I wanted to create something brand new that is just similar to the real original thing, not actually the real thing. This will help me TONS to achieve this =) thank you

😍Excellent...will try making it💖

I wish it were earlier (Germany) - I am very much looking forward to the hat. I finishes my trial-Lucille and I am very happy camper!

Love it. Super cute!!

It would have been noce to see ypu cut the pattern out. I’m new to sewing so I don’t know what she means by the grainline direction.

You're AMAZING! Thank you!

This is so amazing!! Is there a way you could make this out of pleather or metallic synthetic fabric?

Merci beaucoup c’est top

Thank you!

Awesome ❤

Awesome hat. May I ask how do they say on your head.

Can you please do a video on the pattern drafting

Do you think felt would work okay for this hat?

Я очарована вами и всем, что вы шьёте! Очень интересные видео! Желаю процветания вашему каналу! Где можно купить такую подушечку на руку для булавок? Спасибо!

Hi Gertie! Is there a reason that you don't use the extension piece to expand the size of the bed on your machine? I only take it off if I am sewing a sleeve or cuff, but I have seen multiple sewists who don't use it. Curious if there is a reason.

If you need to make your own piping, how wide would the bias tape be? And how thick is the recommended cord?

Would this work just as well if instead of doing the lining understitching through6 layers at some points, if you just moved the understitching up above the seam that the band is in? If the band is tall enough it should hide that stitching as well, and the piping understotching should hold the band in place. Right? 🤔 Just would worry about putting that many thick layers together, esp if you hit piping overlap and break needle😬😬

The pink cape/coat that went over the dress, is that available on patreon? If so, I'll join in a heartbeat.

Also called the Garrison Cap along with an unsavory slang name by the military.

Hi, my friend can you make a vintage turband , thank you

Bonjour je veux savoir la dimension de chaque coup svp

I prefer the green hat on the opening

I printed out the pattern and measured the test square and it's exactly 1/16th short. I double checked my printer settings and it's set to 100% with no other changes. Because this is a small project with small seam allowances, I'm wondering if this is something that I should try and fix? Or would it be okay? Did anyone else have this problem?

Thanks , sweetie.

This will be useful for cosplay

Whenever I'm feeling down and I'm going to repeat to myself "Go ahead and live your Phyllis Nefler fantasy". Oh, whyyyy must I be a 250 lb man.

May I please have the pattern for the beautiful cap

Hi! Did I miss the posted tutorial for the dress?

Where can we download the pattern Cannot find it on charm

For some reason my download isn't downloading the entire 5 pages.

Milady stripes

No pattern or instructions☹️

Man i feel like we have to stop using the word vintage these days and just go with specific decades now. People are calling stuff from the eighties vintage now, i don't know when i got old enough for my childhood years to be known as vintage...
