Hint for Tomorrow's Release (and New Theme!)
Hello, lovely!
Happy New Year! Tomorrow is the start of a new theme; can you believe it? It's hard to say goodbye to Charm School, but I am bursting with excitement to share the new theme for 2025. It's brimming with classic vintage glamour, and I'm calling it a return to Charm's roots. And tomorrow's pattern release is a big one - a versatile design that will have you feeling like a star and sewing like the wind.
Whatever could it be? Put your guesses in the comments - and come back tomorrow to learn all about the new theme.
Thank you for sharing another year of sewing fun and fabulousness with me here. It means the world to me, and I can't wait to share what's in store!
xoxo,
Gertie

I want this dress desperately!
I can't believe it has been a year and Charm School is over! But I'm super excited about this new year and all the new things to learn and create.
I CANT WAIT
How much longer must we wait 🫠
I'm just sat here refreshing the page like my life depends on it!
Can’t wait. My husband and I just binged watched a ton of classic movies this holiday season. Also, I have been looking for a good pattern to sew a dress like this. I am ready!
Love you his teaser. Old Hollywood, the golden era.
Charm Cinema or Gertiewood are great themes!
Gertiewood!!!! Genius! Oh please let it be Gertiewood
OMG could it be a slinky satiny bias cut cocktail dress? Pretty please🙏🏻
Gertiewood!
This! ❤️❤️❤️
Old Hollywood Charm, yes please !! Hopefully with a hint of boudoir and burlesque, why not ☺️
I can't believe i got it right !! My first Time correctly guessing !!
Sitting here waiting like a kid waiting for Santa to come!! Being a patron and seeing all of these beautiful designs makes my heart happy! ❤️❤️
Omg this right up my street can't wait. I initially thought 'Gone with the wind' but that's the wrong for this image which I think is Jean Harlow so I think it's going Along the Hollywood glam theme. Excited x
Hollywood Charm. I LOVE where this is headed. Very very excited to open that email tomorrow....today now!
Charmwood! Or maybe Charm movie theater? :)
Maybe like a Movie inspired theme this year
Sirens
Silver screen sirens... Ohhhhh love that!!
I can't wait! I'm sew excited!
Hmmm, how about: Hollywood Charm
It's already tomorrow, here! I'm excited to see all the new designs for 25.
SEW LIKE THE WIND! i say this all the time, mostly when under pressure. this picture makes me SEW EXCITED! i’m certain the new theme will keep us afloat through the dark days ahead. i think we should have inspiration BINGO cards for glamorous movie stars/dresses to make it even more fun. they could be CHARM cards. i’d like to add deborah kerr’s floaty basket weave gown from an affair to remember (could be a lamour expansion) to the card. 🤩 this is going to be the best theme yet!
the quote “sew like the wind” i know is from the three amigos, though. 🤣 not very glamorous.
🧵🪡🩵
1930s glamour perhaps? That'd be amazing! 🙂
Can hardly wait!!
Oooh can’t wait! Hollywood glam is definitely a yes from me. Hoping for a lovely neckline or princess seams…glam all the way! X
Old Hollywood glam, my very fav! I'm gonna love this year!
Hollywood glam was my first thought too looking at the picture! But I am usually bad at these things!
I guess there might be some 50‘s Hollywood glamour and I‘m Looking forward 😍😍😍 happy new year 😊😊
Ooh, so we are doing old hollywood glam?
Something like the red dress from Scarlett O'Hara? 🤔 Or is that me projecting? 😂
Beautiful, I am thinking Old Hollywood, not a new guess but I am excited 😆
Just to be wild, I'm guessing Charm Follies! Ziegfield Follies/1930's musical inpiration. Showgirls but make it 1929..
Dang! What a fun idea!
My guess for the theme is Charm Bombshell- one of Harlow’s best films. With looks for the year covering all sorts of vintage glam 😍
Oo, that's an excellent guess! Charm Bombshell, I like it.
I am literally at the edge of my seat here. Is it tomorrow yet? So excited for this new theme! I hope there will be lots of vintage style dresses 🥰. I wasn't really into the knit sweats and whatnot...
Old Hollywood!
I want to sew like the wind!
Old Hollywood Charm - I hope!!
Glam Squad!
Happy New Year, everyone! I am so excited to see what 2025 has in store for us here!
Silver screen sirens?
Gertie Goes Glam
Not sure what it is, but I am super excited!
Charm Golden Age?
Didn’t she mention something about a return to the Golden Age/Era or did I imagine it❤️
Bias cut something!
I want to agree that it’s something to do with GWTW but that’s not 40s glam, that’s civil war era fashion. Definitely some old school Hollywood glam though!!
Looks like that skirt has some kind of...is it a yoke? Jean Harlow did her movies in the 1920's-30's, so 40's Hollywood glam seems unlikely (but wouldn't that be amazing?!). All I can guess is something with some glamour, sophistication...a dress of some kind. I'm bad at guessing though.
1940s glamour
Yasss! I'm so excited for Hollywood glamour!
Ooh! 😃Looks like I upgraded my tier at the perfect time!🧵🎉
Bias cut something! I’m going to fall over…. I can feel it! So excited!
Gone with the wind
Ohhh YESSSSS
Oh I'm so excited!! Please let there be lots of 40s silhouettes and details!
Gertiewood!!
Ok, but if we’re doing more Jean Harlow can we also get a tutorial on doing finger waves? Please?
I've been trying to achieve those for weeks! So hard to do on your own head...
Another Jean Harlow inspire!
If it’s anything like the dress in the photo, I’m really excited!
Old Hollywood Glam!!!!
Happy to see anything other than the school theme!
I have a feeling it's gonna be Scarlett O'Hara's green dress
I was thinking something similar. “Sewing like the wind” Is odd phrasing. Could we be seeing a Vivien Leigh inspired design?
The Gilded New Age? 😍
Maybe vintage Hollywood glamour???
I'm so glad to see the back of the school theme. Bring on the Glam! 😀
Going to go with Old Hollywood.
Swoon! Something bias cut that Jean Harlow would wear is my dream garment.
Something glamorous from the 1930s? A bias cut gown? 😍
I'm feeling a Hollywood theme. Maybe Charm Studios? 🎥
My THOUGHTS toooooooo!!! Can’t wait 😁
Cannot wait
My vote for the theme is ‘ild school hollywood glam’
I share the idea of a lot in the group: Old Hollywood Glamour
A slinky bias-cut gown?
Ooh exciting!
