Vintage by Gertie Magazine - Spring 2025
Hello, lovelies!
I'm so excited to share the spring issue of the magazine with you!
We love creating this magazine - and this year, it's such a great way to explore the Hollywood Icons theme - and I just know you're going to love it.
I know some people have had trouble accessing the flip-book version of the magazine in past issues, so here are all of the ways you can view it:
Download the PDF to view offline, using the file attached below.
Use the links in the Magazine Shop to purchase a print copy at https://charmpatterns.com/vbg-shop
View the flip-book version of the magazine on our website at https://charmpatterns.com/vintage-by-gertie-spring-2025/
If that link doesn't work, type this link into your browser and then click on the "Access Digital Issue" button - for some reason, clicking on Patreon links doesn't always work: https://charmpatterns.com/vbg-shop
xoxo,
Gertie

I adore these magazines! I appreciate all of the effort that goes into making them possible. Cheers to all of the ideas, hours, and special people that make it possible!
Gertie: I can’t find my messages from you for the three patterns at 40 percent off and their passwords. Im a new inner circle member as of today so I dont really know how it works, Can you help please?
The coupon codes are distributed randomly throughout the year, so you'll need to be a patron when they are distributed. They are sent to you via Patreon Direct Messages.
I really enjoyed this issue. I agree with Monica that entire blocks of history shouldn't be thrown away because some parts of that history are now considered unpleasant. I've only seen small parts of _Singing in the Rain_, Monica reminded me I'd probably enjoy watching the whole movie. My prom dress for senior prom (>30 years ago) was black velveteen. Yes, it does shed like crazy. I can't even imagine having it around anything white for any length of time. The article about Edith Head was amazing, and very enjoyable and inspirational to read. A few years ago on the _Sewing With Threads_ podcast, Kenneth D. King made a similar comment about being able to tell if a piece of clothing was made for someone, with that wearer in mind, versus a piece of clothing made to look fancy on its own and then sent to / picked out for / purchased by a wearer who was able to fit into it. And I hadn't heard of sketching gloves before. Those sound very handy.
The magasine is always such a great surprise for me. I never thought i would be interested (never been a magasine buyer), but i really LOVE Vintage by Gertie. I regularly have an everything me made challenge, actually today was the case, down to the knickers 😂 Vargas panties, Sofia as a slip, society dress!
Thank you for the magazine! I always look forward to these!
OMG .. can we pls get a crowdcast with the procreate topic? I would love to see the process on video 😍
Thank you very much! This magazine is a great asset for your business and is greatly loved and appreciated!
I love reading the magazine. It's so much fun and I find inspiration on (almost) every page. Sometimes I'm just in awe, thinking, "I can never make that". This time I especially liked reading about Edith Head, but most of all I loved looking into Millie's eyes, the photo of her in the warm sweater. I couldn't help but wonder how such a lovely girl could ever become a rescue dog. Millie is perfectly lovely.
It looks so goood! Just an fyi I don’t think the link to the flipbook version is the correct one. It sends me to the page to buy a print.
Gertie, are you sure the cover is not just your not so sneaky way of telling us you are getting married? :P
Love the Edith Head piece. Gertie's vision of blending old Hollywood and honoring the fashions from that period is the reason I stay a member, even if I don't have the time to sew as much as I would like. Hoping for Adrian and a few others to be featured.... ;-) THANKS GERTIE and TEAM!!!!
This is my favorite issue to date! Thank you so much for the procreate tips!!! I gotta get a drawing glove now. Also, that red dress illustration on the top of the Inner Circle Thank You Page... va-va-va-voom! 😍 I hope we get a pattern for that baby! I will be INSUFFERABLE in it 😂
Ooo maybe it’s a Charm version of the Butterick dress from Niagara - so hopeful that’s coming sometime this year! 🤞
Yayy
