Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
We're so excited for springtime at the Charm studio, and this next pattern release is perfect for this time of year. Those who follow us on Instagram may have noticed a slight 60s vibe to this photoshoot, as we've been playing with fabrics and silhouettes for this classic look.
What might your next school project be? Raise your hand and put your guess into the comments below.
xoxo,
Gertie

I am so not into 60's and as a few have mentioned, I am here for the Gertie 50'/40's usual style but I was very pleasently surprised by the drop today. Suzie looks amazing in her pink tweed and that hairstyle 🤩 so happily surprised I've already printed the pattern 😅 time to put my gams on display this year 🤔😅
I would love a shift dress - the V&A's free mod shift dress pattern doesn't have cup sizes, so having one in Gertie's sizes would be very exciting!
Very famous in Australia for wearing an above knee shift to the Melbourne Cup in Australia, with NO gloves, hat or stockings. So controversial!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_shift_dress_of_Jean_Shrimpton
Please please a shift dress. I have Marimekko Unikko fabric that my husband bought me a couple of birthdays ago. Still haven't found the perfect pattern for it and a Gertie shift would be just the thing.
Maybe a pussybow blouse? I've been moving away from 40s fashion so I'm excited to see this! Being able to layer would be a godsend.
Not sure...something mod...can't wait!
The decade is certainly not in doubt
I’m excited for something sixties-inspired! I’m sure it will be beautiful and interesting!! Gertie and Charm team - you always do such a lovely job with these Patreon patterns. I feel so appreciative of all the effort and creativity I see going into them. Thank you so very much!! Please continue to go where your creative passion and vision take you - that’s what will keep you fresh and motivated - and supporting that is why I am a Patreon member. Hugs!! 🥰
👏👏👏
Is it a Twiggy style shift dress? Xxx
1890’s to 1950’s is my favorite. 😢 Not a fan of 60’s or 70’s clothing. That’s okay though, I know lots of others are, I’ll work on some other projects
I'm loving it! Expanding into other decades is wonderful. Early to mid 60s my fav!
All I know is that if it’s a shift dress like most people are guessing, I have the perfect fabric to make a Pucci inspired dress!
Whatever it is, I hope there’s a ruffle feature!
I would jump over the 60s right into the 70s for never lay my eyes on anything past that. 20s,30s, 40s are my preferred time range 😎
Shift dress is my guess. Though I have to say, when the 60s came back in the 90s, I wore them nearly daily. I don't know how I feel about dressing like I did in junior high lol
I’m thinking a mini dress with some big fun sleeves! Can’t wait to see!
Oooooo, those huge chiffon sleeves !
Perhaps a Chanel style lady jacket, which seems to be popular in mainstream trends? It would go nicely with the theme, as it requires tailoring techniques. And, its a good layer for Spring!
Something floaty and bohemian I hope!
I just hope it’s no later than 64’. I have so many “more modern” patterns and they are simple and just not what I’m here for. I love the challenge charm patterns give us, and the true midcentury silhouettes. I really don’t like the hippy era clothes. I am a HUGE gertie fan but if it goes too modern I’ll have to bow out, and that makes me so so sad. I just hope it’s something with shape that challenges us. I know I’ll get hate for this, but I know I’m not alone.
Gertie does offer simpler things on Patreon, and expands the decades a bit. Her Charm patterns stay mainly in the 40s to 50s that I've seen. I think she is also creating items based on the yearly surveys as well.
Probably a color block mini dress. Hope not, but that's my feeling
I’m hoping it’s similar to this. I have this Smak Parlor dress in another print and it’s my absolute favorite. I’ve been meaning to try to copy it. https://www.unique-vintage.com/products/smak-parlour-rainbow-sequin-downtown-scene-mini-dress?_pos=27&_sid=946bc4db4&_ss=r
I would love that
I mean...everything in the Gertieverse has been amazing! #Gertieverse
I agree, it may not always be my style but they put a lot of work and effort into everything which I can really appreciate. This is the best Patreon I belong to!
I would looooove a mini dress of some description
A line dress 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
i’m sew ready for spring sewing! been dipping back into my mod moods, too. bring it on! 🌸🌼🌷
I started sewing in 1960 and made most of the 60's fashions during my teen years. The shift is so easy and takes such a little bit of cloth. The mini skirts were great because I could make one from half a yard of fabric in about half an hour. That was then! Now 60 years later I'm up for whatever Gertie delivers.
I thought about this! I have a yard and a half of fabric that I'd love to make a dress with and this might be the thing!
I’m not real good with 60s fashion but I hope it’s a spring top of some sort that can be made into a dress
A flower power shift dress 🌼🌸🌻🏵️
Oh I really, really hope it isn't a shift dress. My body shape does not in the least like that kind of dress shape XD
Saaaaame. I'm 100% built for hourglass silhouettes
A shift dress would be cute! Maybe something givenchy-inspired? I love the 60’s and it seems there are so many great mod floral fabrics lately!💜 I’m stoked!
Just researched Jean Shrimpton, the Shrimpton Shift? She made the mini dress iconic
Please, please, a-line!!!!!!
Please a woven shift dress 🤞🏽
A shift dress is my guess
I see several photos of her in menswear inspired blazers, especially with fun lapels. That's my guess considering the school theme.
I'm totally down to mix it up and try out 60's! The bright colors alone are so much fun!
I smell a shift
So excited to find out what pattern it could be. I love the 1960s.
Pocket shift dress with a color block hem option or longer length option than just mini
I'm guessing a shift, probably a miniskirt version
I’m feeling like there will be a 60’s color blocking option.
I love being a patron it makes me feel like a kid again every time I see a hint or little present from Gertie.
Im with those that think shift dress. Can't wait to see what it looks like! (Whatever it is.)
The gorgeous Jean Shrimpton.
I have no idea, but I’m stoked!💐
The gasp I gasped! I’m so hoping for a swing dress I’ve had one on my docket for a while!!!
I'm guessing A line, maybe ponte, and bright colors/patterns
Oooo my guest is a shift dress! Would be interesting!
That's what I'm thinking to!
I know it won’t be this but I’m here for one of those flowery 60s swimming hats 😍🤣
I don’t know but I just found my glue gun, so I’m ready to make a head dress 😂
