Talk Gertie To Me

by Gretchen "Gertie" Hirsch

Step into the wildly creative, deeply personal world of Charm Patterns with founder Gretchen “Gertie” Hirsch as she stitches together vintage glamour, pop culture obsessions, body positivity, and unapologetic queerness. From behind-the-scenes design inspo like “Slutty Italian Summer” to candid conversations on beauty, Broadway, and the messiness of creative life, this podcast is part sewing salon, part slumber party, and always ridiculously fun.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is my new favorite sewing podcast. Like the Gertie books, they are filled with fashion history, sewing tips, beautiful designs (that you can see in her links), and inspiration to try to create something that may have otherwise seemed intimidating. I think it’s wonderful that the audience gets to hear from Gretchen and to get to know her as a person instead of the focus being on her more public alter ego, Gertie. I can’t wait to sew more of her designs.

RLYikes · Jul 2025

I could listen to these two ladies talk all day long! I have loved getting to know the Charm Patterns brand the last few years. I look forward to more episodes, feeling like I have nerdy seeing friends to hang out with, and getting glimpses behind the curtains at Charm!
