March Project Sneak Peek!
Hello my early birds and Nancy Drews! If you are reading this on January 31st, it's because you somehow found this page before we officially launch on February 1st. (We're in a sort of "soft launch" period, since Patreon requires your project to be submitted for approval in advance. This approval process can take up to 3 days, so I couldn't risk doing it on the launch date! Of course, they actually approved it in a matter of minutes, so here we are.) Please know that if you signed up early, you are helping us cover our start-up funds for this project, which were substantial. So thank you!
As a special show of my gratitude, I thought it would be fun to give you an exclusive sneak peek of what we're working on now. For our March Patreon exclusive, we're doing a brand new pattern that is a stand-alone project, so not an expansion of a Charm pattern. It is a super fun and quick sew, it's made in a stable knit, and it's a great transitional layering piece as the seasons change. To make it even better, there will be several embellishment options that we will show you in March's video. Our next shoot date is February 13th, so Melisha and I are gearing up for it now!
Can't wait to share more with you! I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
xoxo,
Gertie

I am looking for the tiled pattern for the bolero but can't find it
Seriously looking forward to March!
I am so excited to have joined this page and look forward to making many more of your lovely patterns and adding to my vintage wardrobe.
How exciting xxx
Can I just say I’m so glad you are doing this and taking back control over your creative freedom and business revenue options. You’ve really grown through the last several years and being able to be your creative self (with a brain!) and put your knowledge to work for all of us who are learning and really enjoy seeing and fun designs, is an exciting new development. Cheers!!
Was just talking to my mum about stable knit. I have a gorgeous long jacket she made from stable knit with a cute 70's pattern. I pinched it off her and have worn it so often that it is falling apart. Would love to replicate it but finding great stable knit here is so hard.
This looks so cute. living in QLD Australia I'm trying to build a capsule wardrobe mix of my vintage clothes and my own sewing and need jackets to go over my short or no sleeve dresses.
I hope to have a wardrobe of only sewn clothes eventually! I always make sleeveless and realise I need to partially line to suit the QLD heat. Only ever wear cardigans all winter so something else would be nice.
💙💙💙 this. Just ordered fabric, so I can start right away what march finally arrives...
Ooh, I'm excited! I live in Florida, layering pieces are big here, since it's hot outside and blisteringly cold at work 😊
Hi everyone! I live in Greece! Does anyone know were I can order online stable knit in Europe? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! I'm sooo excited!
Following as I'm in Europe too (France)
Any chance you’ll let us know how much fabric and supplies that are required for this project ahead of time so when the pattern releases we can get started? Just in case we want to order something. I’m so impatient on getting started on your beautiful patterns! 😂
Love the enthusiasm! But that's something I don't really feel we can promise ahead of time--it's already a big stretch for us to prep these projects within a month! Love that you're enjoying the content!
Stable knit? Fantastic!
So excited to be getting to see all this and finally able to learn some tricks to improve my sewing!
Fun! I'm excited to be here!
Looking forward to learning more from you. I have enjoyed your teaching videos for years and believe in your work. Thank you for creating this opportunity to learn more from you.
This looks delicious! I can’t wait!
I keep hoping for either (a) an easy to grade up pattern or (b) a 48” bust. :) can’t wait!
Our patterns go up to a 52” bust so we already have your size!
You had me at stable knit 🤣
Cute! We are all going to be so busy sewing up your new creations!
I hope we get a skirt like the one with the brown short Princess Coat.
That is coming soon from Charm Patterns!
Yes! Love the Peter Pan collar!
oh I can't wait 😍
yes,please! 😻
I love cardigans! The Peter Pan collar is so cute 🤩
A big wave from the UK!! So happy to be on board and find you so inspirational. X
I second a dressing gown! With a slim shawl collar? So excited for all this, I stayed up till 1am here in Australia!
Aww! You two will be filming on “Galentines Day” 🥰
Aww you’re right! How appropriate! ❤️👯♀️
i love the collar! another piece I think i will love. I have been over the past two years transitioning my closet from fast fashion to pieces i have made or vintage pieces i have altered ( I'm a curvy girl so finding vintage in my size has yet to happen)
Love it! 😍 I'm sig glad this is finally happening. Been waiting forever! 😂
I know, that was the longest January ever 😂🎉
I am so excited to be here and a part of this! I vote for a dressing gown at some point for sure! 💞
I’m so ready to do the dressing gown! A brocade one like Rose wore in Mrs. Maisel!
This all so so exciting!!
I know, I can’t handle this much excitement in one day 😂
I'm very impressed! Lots valuable content! I have a question about the "Gertie has a special offer until March 1st". I'm not sure what the next screen is about. It doesn't say what the offer is, only for us to choose a payment? Thanks!
The special offer is the Starburst Dress:)
So excited
The green fabric is so fantastic!!!
Thanks, and good luck with the launch today!
Oooohhhhh! Wow, can’t waitttt

Oh 😍 is it a cardi/little jacket? Loving the sneak peek already. So exiting!
I love Peter Pan collars!! **swoon**
