What Type of Content Excites You the Most?

I'm a busty gal and would love to get something like a pattern extension on cup sizes for the night and day dress I have that pattern!

Hi, just signed up here! I love the vintage styles. Having trained in costume design and been sewing for many, many years, I'm very interested in the history of fashion and the vintage style. Can't wait to discover what's on offer. :)

Upgrades in bigger sizes to your purchased patterns. I am more than happy to buy all your books and patterns - just need the 18 /20 and don't want to do all the pattern alternations.

For me it is the patterns, i am 56 and have only just settled to a style i think suits me and i feel comfortable in. I never liked clothes Much as they didnt fit And i had stopped sewing for myself as life got busy. Now i love having clothes that fit me and make me feel special and to some degree stand out a bit from the crowd. Love your designs and im sure i will settle to a size eventually. Keep up the good work :)

More outerwear to suit larger ladies would be great please ;)

I would love to see patterns for men! I know there are some out there I have used them. But my husband lows the lat 40s to the early 60s. And he has asked if you have ever have mad a mens pattern cuz the womens patterns have so much sass and love in how it is designed he wonts a pattern made for him and othere men with same amount of love in it

Could you please consider Playsuit Button-down skirt addition for those who have made rompers (Janes, Loretta+Lamour) I would also love gloves, 1950's half hats and bloomers .

Pants would be great, especially how to adapt for very high waisted people, thanks.

Ya know I like the glove suggestions. After I saw a picture of Gertie in the brown pencil skirt with the peplum bell-sleeved princess coat I fell in love with the long gloves she was wearing. I have glove patterns but never ventured there... yet.

Maybe something to consider due to our recent global event, would be how to sew easy fashion day gloves? Let’s bring back the glove love!

I need an underpinnings post/thread! Sizing is hard, ha

Any and all of this would be awesome, but I absolutely insist on more Hattie. Not negotiable!

I'd love a tutorial on really getting a great fit on the fit n' flare corset/petticoat. I've finally lost 70lbs (with more to come) and I'm planning a wardrobe of fit n' flare dresses for myself.

Twin set pattern!

id also like to suggest a few variations on a classic one-piece swimsuit with a few cover-ups. Perhaps a skirt or two that would coordinate with the swimsuits as a two piece dress?

I’m currently a few sizes larger than the patterns are designed for and would find upsizing instructions helpful.

Sizing up and down and customizing a pattern for specific measurements (a sloper of sorts) that can adapted for different looks.

I think Frakenpatterning and modification tutorials would be awesome. For example, adding longer sleeves to Rita or how to turn the bodice of a dress pattern (like Liz) into a stand alone top.

Would just like to add that I absolutely love sheath dresses and their unending variations!

I would love a demo on how to walk a pattern and make sure the pieces line up, and also information on how to tweak it when they don’t. Or Frankenstein two patterns together, like alterations you would need to combine the Lamour skirt and the Night and Day bodice.

Definitely stand alone patterns. I would love to have a pattern or even just a video of how to make a petticoat. I have searched the internet but find nothing I like. Some people just don’t know how to film sewing projects on YouTube lol

Is there a possibility to do an expansion on the Lamour for a petal bust? It is a design I can't seem to find anywhere.

I like the idea of stand alone patterns! It makes subscribing totally worth it and really exciting!

I’d really love a pattern matching guide for beginners! I think they’re so beautiful but my brain can’t figure out how to do it 🙈

I would really love to see something inspired by Grace Kelly she has worn so many gorgeous dresses.

I would love to see some more “Old Hollywood Glamour” patterns on the lines of “ The Princess Coat”

I totally favor the stand alone patterns but the expansions are great too. Just another expansion to the L series idea would be the Just Desserts dress from Pinup Girl clothing, it's an extremely rare unicorn dress everyone would love to own, and a simple pattern to release to maybe get more people into the groups in here. Maybe also add a waistband option to make them skirts and tops as separates, take the work out of that for us.

I'd love to know where you buy your shoes. Also, a pattern for a woven fabric slip with interchangeable cup sizes. I have a gorgeous vintage satin and lace knee-length full slip that provides a lot of support but I'm not sure how to replicate it.

I’d love to have really good Turban pattern ❤️ I’m seeing them all around and am always thinking “I could do it on my own.... if I had a nice pattern!”

Heavy on the expansions and stand alone, but I'd love hair tips and anything you'd like to share. I love learning more and retro/rock-a-billy is such a great style. (I will say, I'd appreciate anything you have thoughts on with gloves. I've been fascinated with driving gloves, formal gloves, just all the types of gloves ladies used to wear that we don't any more but they are so stylish!)

I like the idea of expansions and stand alone patterns. Some stand alones that whip up really quickly would be great.

Dressing gowns and peignoirs would be fantastic! There just doesnt seem to much out there that explains these garments or how to sew them. I'm imagining maribou feather trim and delicate fabrics - HOOOWWWW do you sew these?! Id love to have a 'choose your own adventure' on something like this ! :)

My vote goes for all of the above because it allows for a little bit of everything! I've been away from sewing for a while, and these options all show the creativity flowing right now.

I would love a cape on the princess coat, a dressing gown, swimwear and some sailor pants would be amazing..

how about a wedding gown

I NEEEEED a lovely DRESSING GOWN. That would be a lovely project!

I would like the princess coat with a cape attached to it like the picture above. I have been seeing a lot of those in the Hallmark series, "when calls the heart". Super cute!

I would love a video on types of fabrics, their qualities and which to use for what type of project. On a video you can better see the drape of fabrics than in pictures.

I love how the patterns from the Ultimate Dress Book all work together, so I’d love to see expansions to existing and to-come patterns.

I'd like expansions or pattern hacks that work for arbitrary patterns. For example, learning how to make a Peter Pan collar for any size neckline. I'm also interested in other neckline options and embellishments.

Expansions and standalone patterns get my vote! Loving the Patreon so much, thank you!

I would also love expansions from the books...

I know it’s a lot work for you, but I love the patterns. The stands alone and the extension. Mx .

I love both standalones and expansions!

Everything you do is so top-notch! I love your dresses, but it would be fun to have more separates in the mix as well.

I would love to see something to use up fabric for smaller projects like very simple tops- when I buy fabric without a pattern in mind sometimes I end up with a random yard and it would be great to have an idea to do that 🤩

I love the standalone pieces the most, as I feel like they are great wardrobe expanders, but expansions are great too! Separates would be amazing (Katharine trousers perhaps? Dare I dream?)

Hi Gertie and Melisha, I would love more top/blouse patterns, similar to the Rita blouse that can be worn in both summer and winter (with layers of course). Love the Patreon, you girls are amazing! Love from Australia xx

I like new patterns and expansions! I’m putting it out there that I would love a new dirndl pattern from Charm! I like the butterick pattern, but Charm is so much better at fit. Plus you gotta love the choose your own adventure style 💝🌸

I would die for a pattern like that some like it hot slip you made out of the 4-ply silk ❤️

I would also love to have content on adjusting patterns for certain fit issues such as a sloped shoulder.

I would like to add I love patterns that complement us older gals (mature but fly as all get out); LOL.

I'm interested in swimwear

Ahhb!!! I love everything and can't decide!!!

I would love more expansion patterns to build on the Charm Pattern collection and perhaps your books.

I know it has been mentioned somewhere before, but some corporate wear a-la retro style would be fabulous. The chemise dress has become my staple summer work dress.

I would love some simple tops to go with circle skirts as a standalone pattern. Maybe in jersey. It's the one thing I feel I have to buy modern because I don't really know how to work with stretch materials that well, but I can see they're really simple.

Is it bad that I want to convince my boss to let me work a 4 day week so I can have a day just for sewing??

Expansions are awesome!! Once you get the creative juices flowing, the possibilities are endless. I just made a bathing suit top from the Rita pattern and it came out so cute!

All of the above! But is there any chance to also have some quick sews like a head turban, handbags to match our outfits (like with bamboo ring or wood handles), a simple housecoat, dickies to wear under cardigans, a caftan or muu muu for tiki meets etc. Thank you in advance for the consideration.

Not sure if Patreon tech supports this, but it would be great for users to be able to share inspirations and you pick one every so often to discuss how to alter a pattern to achieve that look. I know I have a huge folder of garments that inspire me and with some I can't quite work out how to hack a pattern to get to where I want to go.

A tutorial on the latticework would be amazing.

Maybe some tutorials or ideas for adapting patterns for different climates? I live in the tropics and it can be hard to work out tips and tricks for making my garments wearable all year round (i.e. not to hot in summer). But conversely the best fibre types of you live in a really cold climate could help too!!

Honestly I’d love to see a bit of all of these! Also maybe some underpinnings as pattern extras (like a basic petticoat or slip or bra patterns for example).

Oh man I would love a latice work tutorial!

Like maybe a cape addition for the princess coat!?
