A New Way to Access Your Patreon Content
Hi scouts! I mentioned this in the Crowdcast last week, but I felt it deserved a post of its own. As we've continued to release more and more content, I know the Patreon feed feels a little hard to navigate. That's why we've come up with an easy way for you to find the pattern and video content you're looking for in an instant.
We have a brand new Patreon page on my website (that's a screenshot of it above!). Go to this link to access it.
When you scroll down on that page, you'll see all our Patreon projects organized chronologically.
If you click on a project, you'll be taken to a new page dedicated to that project. Let's say you're looking for the Stanwyck bodice expansion. On that page, you will scroll down to find links to all the content related to that project (where I've circled in red below).
Note that you must be logged into Patreon on the device you're using to access the videos and patterns (otherwise it will just take you to a sign-up page since it doesn't know you're already a Patreon member).
I hope this helps you spend more time sewing and less time searching!
xoxo,
Gertie
P.S. Have you joined the new Discord server? It is hoppin'! It's exactly what I was envisioning when I said I wanted a stronger focus on community this year. To get into Discord, you'll first want to go to Discord.com to make an account there. Then you'll want to log into Patreon on a computer. Go to My Profile Settings, then click Apps. You will be able to connect Discord to your Patreon membership and you will be automatically added to the Camp Gertie Discord server. Come chat about sewing and get help on your latest make! Or join one of the special interest forums like knitting, sewing with disabilities, or accessories. It's so much fun!

Hello! Two years later and I cannot get discord to sync with my Patreon. Any ideas?
What is Discord? I have always believed that to be music which is not in harmony or arguments. I'm sure Gertie can't mean that!
Hello! I noticed no one had replied to you so I thought I'd offer what help I can! Discord is free software that lets you create group chats - the gertie discord lets you keep in contact with other people who have a love for sewing and gertie patterns
I don't seem to see the Gertie icon on my Discord. I did add the Discord app through Patreon. However, I do not have the same email registered for Patreon and Discord. Is it possible for you to add me manually by sending the group link?
THANK YOU!!! It's so much easier to find the pattern post I'm looking for if I need to find the instructions easily!
Hi, I was looking to find princess coat tutorial as Gertie mentioned in Rose Gown tutorial, she said it’s on YouTube, but I couldn’t find. Is there anyone who could direct me to the right place so I can watch it?
I think it's this your looking for.https://youtu.be/GFNwZmJCnBo
PROBLEM! The link you have on this page to the "shirring with elastic thread" video on Patreon as part of the Harlow PJ sleeve expansion is wrong. It goes to the PJ sleeve expansion video, not to the shirring elastic thread video.
I’m in!!!! I’m Judi on Patreon but my you tube name on discord which is ‘running sew and sew’ xx
Looks similar to the stanwyck skirt. If it is that’s great
Hi Gertie! I'm a new camper and a PDF princess. I'm unsure what size paper I should be printing the patterns on? I've always used paper patterns, not PDF, so I'm a little lost 😅
I'm a newbie too, but i print them on a normal home printer so A4 paper and cut them out from the borders then tape them together, hope this helps! :)
Thank you so much!!! I love that presentation!!! So easy for my brain!!! LOL!!!!
Hello Gertie! I am currently a PDF Princess level (now updated for the new charm scout levels) patron, but I have been going through my husbands Patreon account (so that all of our subscriptions come out all at once). Now that there is a discord server, I'd like to move things to my own separate account, but since this is the beginning of the month the payment has just gone through. Id also like to try and avoid losing the things I already have access to. Is there a way to switch the subscription to another account without losing access or double billing?
I'd contact Patreon's support for this question. It's out of our scope.
That is wonderful! And it makes it nice for people who are interested in joining-though it is fun to just scroll too! I am wondering- did I miss the pdf for the latest free charm pattern with my Dorothy tier?
Hi Gertie and Melisha. I just wanted to say thank you for creating the sewing with disabilities section on Discord. Most businesses just ignore us as if we are at least second class citizens if not worse. Having this thread in the chatrooms has made me realise i am not on my own having difficulties and kept me going on the bad days. It's amazing how much work you have put into including everyone, you are an inspiration, Thanks :)
Amazing, thank you!
This is Amazing!!
Love it, thank you! Very easy to navigate.
Loving all the changes and updates, thank you.
This is so much better! Thank you. You are doing a great job at keeping me engaged!
This new site is so convenient. Thank you!
It did work! Thank you!
Is there a circle skirt pattern that would be good with a novelty cotton fabric?
Gertie has a YouTube video from when she was on It’s Sew Easy. I’m not sure if the link will work but here it is. https://youtu.be/4XK05UrRiOw
The link isn’t working for me. I have Apple iPad and phone and have tried both while signed in to Patreon with no luck. Any advice? It takes me to the Charm site, but not as a Patreon member.
I even tried logging in on Safari and Patreon app at the same time and then clicking the link with no success.
Thanks so much Gertie! It makes the navigation much easier
Your a star x
This is so awesome!! I love all that you all are doing to make sure we can easily access content. This was a great idea and a great use of resources. I immediately download the patterns to my Google Drive where I have them organized so I can find them, but the video links I have to refer back to Patreon when I need help. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Such a big help!
So good, makes it so much easier 🥰
I really love the set up on the Charm patterns website. Thank you for thinking of us in that way! I have just downloaded Discord to start in the chatting. X
I never got my patreon gift for last year.
We estimated it may take as long as 6 weeks to receive from the time we announced the gift on January 19th. They’re all on their way!
This is fantastic! I organized all my PDFs from the Charm>Patreon over the weekend. I want to take this opportunity to thank you Gertie & your team. The community spirit and all around fun vibe you have going is just what I need!! You’re awesome!!!! 💕💕💕
Aw thank you so much for your kind words! 💕
This is so wonderful! An excellent idea and awesome implementation. Thank you for your always excellent content 💕
This is brilliant!
hahaha, I JUST spent this past weekend downloading all the patterns and saving all the videos to my Youtube watch list for later. This is what I get for not procrastinating longer! But thank you! That's so helpful!!!!
Thank you! Finding patterns on here is a little unwieldily.
Awesome
That's so great! Thank you!
Love the new site! Its so easy to follow! Great job!
I was literally just wishing it was easier to navigate this morning when trying to find the Sweetheart Slip! Thanks for reading my mind!
