Vintage by Gertie Magazine - Spring 2024
Hello, lovelies!
In this issue, we explore multiple decades of vintage fashion, with some fabulous floral frocks for spring. I'm excited to share my new home sewing studio with you, and we've also included a new capsule wardrobe feature (which was heavily requested in Charm's annual survey - let us know what you think!).
The magazine is exclusive to our Glamour, Princess, and Inner Circle members - and can also be purchased in print.

Dear Gertie, I tried to comment via Charmpatterns.com/contributor. Time and again, it failed. One of the things, I wanted to communicate to you is how very much I appreciate and enjoy being able to buy the actual VINTAGE MAGAZINE, on paper, in my hand. Thank you. I first found you at your BLOG FOR BETTER SEWING, and have been following you ever since. I have all of your books, I am a member of the INNER CIRCLE, I have most of your patterns, and have pre-ordered your new book. Yes, I am a fan girl. I have come to realize, in the past several years, that the less time I spend in front of a screen, the happier I am. I am better able to focus, I live more deliberately, gracefully, and in the moment. My Gertie Patreon is one of the few things, I am NOT giving up. Thus, if I could subscribe to VINTAGE, by the year or 5 years, it would be a great convenience to me. The SPRING 2024 issue, page 29, item 12. Is the red belt custom made?? I would very much like to buy one! Lastly, I very much enjoy all of the many facets of CHARM. Please consider devoting some time and space to "ladies' accessories", such as the gloves and Beret, from a few seasons back. Lingerie, and the regaining of our feminine identities. Sincerely, Gail Ann Thompson
Omg! I'm new to Charm School and was so excited to read about the capsule wardrobe inspired by Dita! As soon as I'm finished making the Jane set I bought I'm going to jump in. Thank you! Also loved the history and expanded my ruffle knowledge. I'm a sucker for a fancy parasol
I got an error message when Intried to read the new magazine.
Thank you <3 is it possible to download previous magazines too? I would love to look through them for inspiration. How do i find them?
I really enjoyed the magazine! Thank you! I especially liked the piece on ruffles. It was very interesting and helpful to see the different types of ruffles on actual garments and then see the way each type is created. Also, Gertie’s sewing room is so cute! And I loved the Alfie pix. He looks so sweet faced!! 🥰
I really loved this issue! And thanks for introducing us to Nekesa! I just checked out her Dead Dead Girls book! ☺️
The cover dress is a showstopper!
The link doesn't work and I do not see a PDF file to view offline. :(
The pdf is attached to the post, at the bottom! The file name starts with VBG.
Still not working for me

What is the spoonflower fabric for the wallpaper dress? And ❤️❤️❤️ the issue!
This fabric and wallpaper is actually from a company called Woodchip and Magnolia!
I don't see the attached PDF to read offline.
Oh wait, I was able to download it from the first link.
Can’t open. Error
Me either
Ahhh!! I just did a quick spot read on my lunch break and it’s so good. Cannot wait to dive into the whole thing this weekend 😍😍😍
@gertie, what patterns did you use to make your wallpaper dress? It *looks* like a Landis bodice and a circle skirt?
You are exactly right! It's the Charm Circle Skirt with added seams to keep the wisteria going in the right direction.
Loved the capsule wardrobe!! Maybe that could be a regular feature! Super inspiring to think of how to build mix and Match pieces
So excited for this! I'm IN LOVE with the dress on the cover and simply must have one!
I hit the same error message
