How about a sweet little turtleneck expansion for the Barbie Top? This is a most useful top for your winter wardrobe, especially when layered with our other patterns like the Cobbler Dress!
To celebrate the holiday season, I wanted to talk about my favorite fashion moments from classic Christmas movies. From cozy and chic ensembles to extravagant, show-stopping coats, I find so much sewing inspiration in the holiday season. Here are some of the movies I rewatch when I’m in need of some winter fashion inspiration, or just want something to cuddle up and drink hot chocolate to!
Circle skirts were staples of ‘50s fashion, and we know you’ll love this versatile and feminine piece. Our free circle skirt pattern has the perfect vintage length, side seam pockets, a beautiful lapped zipper, and waistband with hook-and-bar closure. It’s a great beginner project, but also works great as an essential staple for more advanced sewists. (Who doesn’t need one in every color in their wardrobe?)
Sew up the Dandridge Skirt with included waistband for a fabulous separate or mix and match with interchangeable Charm Patterns bodices to make a dress.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I’m so thrilled to present the Charm Random Acts of Christmas–– throughout the month, we’ll be surprising you with holiday gifts and tutorials when you least expect it. (You’ll never see us coming!).
Meet the Landis Bodice, the ’50s-inspired bodice of your dreams! With an extra-curvy sweetheart neckline, princess seams, an optional basque waist, and two strap options, this design will have you feeling like a princess.
Our Dagger Collar comes together in a flash, making it perfect for last minute Halloween costumes. And for the morbidly inclined, this is a great expansion to add some spooky flair to your everyday.
The Waspie Corset Belt is the perfect accessory for that cinched silhouette. This belt is made with real corsetmaking techniques.
For the last day of our Extravaganza, I wanted to bring you something really fun. I’ve got Halloween fanatic Naty with me to talk through our favorite last minute Halloween sewing tips.
Naty and I got together for a little spooky Get Ready With Me where we talk all things Halloween, our bad sewing habits, and… our Elvis obsession? I don’t know, things went off the rails a little bit. Watch us try our hands at Morticia Addams and Lily Munster looks–– if you dare!
