About Goodbye Valentino

Sarah Gunn is the co-author of The Tunic Bible and A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing. She shares her passion for sewing on her blog, “Goodbye Valentino.

From the moment I resumed sewing garments in 2011, I was obsessed with learning to sew the cute ready-to-wear tops I could never justify buying for myself. The second post I wrote for my blog, Goodbye Valentino, was about recreating the Milly brand peasant tops, and thus began a journey leading to my book, The Tunic Bible. My first garment, a silk peasant top, looked quite homemade but I was blinded by enthusiasm and after my investment of time and effort, I wore it with great pride. My mother bought the silk in Asia and I wanted to please her as much as myself. Six years later, I see the progress I’ve made but I’m still obsessed with recreating beautiful ready-to-wear tops and pay regular visits to high end retail websites for inspiration.
