Pep Rally Skirt Crowdcast on Tuesday!
It's time for pleats, pleats, and more pleats in our Pep Rally Skirt Crowdcast this TUESDAY, APRIL 30th, at 6 p.m. EST!
Did you embrace your Charm School spirit like Susie with the longer version, or are you rocking your short pleated skirt with Bad Girl Gertie's crew? I love them both so much and I love how kilts are having a fabulous fashion resurgence. I can't wait to tell you about my 1950s inspirations for designing the Pep Rally Skirt.
I'll post a direct link to the Crowdcast on Wednesday, so keep an eye out for that.
Not sure how EST converts to your local time? Click here or the time above for a time zone converter.
Don't worry if you can't make it this month, the link to watch the replay will be live within 24 hours. I'll be rotating the times and days for future Patreon Crowdcasts, and I hope everyone has the chance to join us soon.
xoxo,
Gertie

During MY high school years, (in the 1960's) twice, my grandmother gave me "The best gift ever"!!! I wish I could remember the brand name.... it was something like "Scot's Wool" the packaging was charming. They opened as if they were books or albums. Inside, was a skirt length of plaid wool PLUS enough wool yarn to knit a cardigan or pullover exactly matching the color of the wool of the skirt length. As I recall, they also contained an instruction booklet for 2 different sweaters and 1 or 2 skirts. Thread, and zips. The same grandmother taught me to knit when I was 5 and to sew when I was 7 years old. My birthday is in the Spring (May). I worked on them during the Summer. Finishing sweater and skirt in time for the start of school both years. I wore them to school, college, and into the office. I wore them until they wore completely out!!! This is a suggestion for your MERCH option. In today's economy, they might prove costly. Truthfully, I have never received a gift or bought for myself anything, nearly as good a value (cost per wearing) as these Scot's wool kits.
I would soooo buy this.
Looking forward to seeing your inspirations and hearing about how this project evolved! I love seeing the fitting iteration photos; they are such a window into the Charm process and I feel Ike they inspire me to work on my fitting, too :)
I would love to have a few of the items in the charm school collection be "smoking in the bathroom" or "bad taste" items that would get you kicked out of school in the 1950's for breaking dress code
Cry Baby energy!!!!
