Introducing the Charm Cabana Set!
It's been a busy week at Charm! I'm excited to announce the release of our newest Charm Pattern, the Charm Cabana Set.
This pattern is my love letter to all those dreamy mid-century vacation looks—Tony Curtis lounging on a yacht, Elvis in Blue Hawaii, or even those old photos of Paul Newman looking unfairly good in a camp-collar shirt and high-waisted shorts that should not work but absolutely do.
Sizing runs XXS–5XL in a menswear-inspired block, but the look is totally unisex.
Whether you're making it for yourself, a partner, or anyone else who needs a little more Riviera in their wardrobe, the Cabana Set is pure vintage joy. It’s fast to sew, fun to wear, and versatile enough to go from poolside to picnic without missing a beat. (It also makes a great pair of pajamas, too!)
Click here to get your own Cabana Set and to learn more.
xoxo,
Gertie

A little late, but... I'm thinking Benoit Blanc, Glass Onion bathing suit outfit. Anyone out there have any experience with seersucker as a swim suit? I would think that chlorine and UV would be disastrous...
I got the coupon code but it says iv already used it. but i have no pattern
I think you’ve already nipped this in the bud, but just in case: there’s a scammer going by “Charms Patterns by Gertie Author” replying to comments here. I suspect you’ve already blocked them, but again - just in case!
I just got a notification from that scammer so I think they’re still around 🙄
I didn’t receive a coupon code for my inner circle membership for this pattern?
I have not received a coupon code for this for my inner circle membership
i have been searching for this my whole life* *includes current garment sewing life, tropical matchy-matchy dreams life, and make my honey a ken doll life; may not include previous lives
Ooooh, this is wonderful! Just one question, is it possible to have a tutorial on making a lining for the shorts to turn them into a mens swimsuit?
I adore the styling and pin-up inspired posing ❤️
Ooooh and such handsome models!! Love it
I have been dying for something like this!!!
A couple months ago, I saw a camp shirt online (where? Who remembers?) made out of a vintage lace tablecloth and I’ve been looking for a camp shirt that would fit my giant husband sporadically ever since. But this one!!! It’s everything I ever wanted for him!!!
Just like that last model in the white lace shirt!
I’m an Inner Circle member and saw your note about the free pattern code being sent via Patreon Chats. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any message or code there. Could you please resend it or check if it was sent to my account? Thank you for your time and for sharing your wonderful work!
Please send a message to support@charmpatterns.com and Sarah will be able to sort it all out. Thanks!
SO CUTE! I love that pink print but especially loved the scalloped edge on that navy and white print shirt!
Yayyy!!! I love this!! Xmas gift for my boys all sorted!!
YESSS!! now we just need a ladies beach coat for adorable matchy couple sets 😊
Low key obsessed with
I was so excited for this then realized even th xxs is too big for my husband. :(
Last September in Vintage By Gertie we included instructions for scaling patterns down for children; the same principles could be applied to scale down a pattern in general (maybe just not quite as much as we did in our example!)
This is so cute. I love the interpretation on Suzie.
Oooh GOODNESS!!!🎉🎊
My favorite part of this is that all sizes are included!!! yay! thank you for not making me pay twice in order to have all the size ranges :D
Typically we have to draft two completely different versions of a pattern, one for each size block, which is why most patterns are sold separately between the size ranges. This time, we only drafted once!
It’s giving “Hey Ken” and I love it
Omg this has Margo Mayhem and Samson Night written all over it! 😃
What skirt is that with the buttons down the front?
Looks like the Picnic Skirt
Sooo cute!!
I don’t understand what this means? What is it instructing me to do??
Yas queen! More unisex clothing!
How does the shirt differ from the Presley ?
Just at first glance of the line art, it doesn't have a back yoke like the Presley does
I am so excited for the shirt and the size range! I've been looking for a bigger menswear button up for a loved one, but it's been hard to find one in his size.
We were just talking about saving up for a cruise in a couple of years . . . now my Mr. will have something snazzy to wear! Quick question, though: which bolero are Susie and Gertie wearing?
It looks like the Dorothy bolero
Your models are so foxy!!! Well done!
It’s perfect!!
OMG, I can’t! I have been waiting for a cabana set my whole life!!!! My husband is DEFINITELY getting one
Omg the little floral hem on the shorts...love
I'm Inner Circle but I haven't gotten a direct message/chat with the coupon code. 🫤
Ingrid, can you please send us a message through Patreon or via support@charmpatterns.com. Thanks!
Yayyyy so excited to make this for my bf!!!
Stop it, this is absolutely too adorable. My one gripe is not seeing it on a larger masc body in any of the preview shots. Hopefully some folks on the community app will share some :)
Weee, time for making an Allan set
Love, love, love! My husband's a big guy and finding patterns for him is tough, so thank you so much for doing more menswear in extended sizes
Yayyyyyyyyy it's already sent to the printer!
Soo fun!!
Wish this came out two days ago because I could have made if for the cruise I’m going on. I’m already on my way to port, but this is so cute and I’m excited to make it in the future!
Enjoy your holiday
Omg! This is great! I’ve been wanting to make one for my partner!!
Can't wait to sew up a set!
This is so fun! My husband has been on me to make him more things so this is perfect!!
Same lol and now I can make more than just Presley
Gertie i hope your pillow is cool for you every night you have done us a good deed!
I love this set! Perfect for coordinating outfits on vacation or summer outings
That looks so comfortable
Oh my God. This is everything I wanted and more! What s lovely surprise gift
