The Final Exam Blazer has a slightly-shrunken silhouette, front and back princess seams, patch pockets, and a two-piece tailored sleeve. It’s a preppy classic with a vintage fit!

I’m so proud of all the hard work you’ve put into this year, and I am excited to see all of your creations. Cheers to the 2024 Charm School graduating class!

The Valedictorian Bow Tie and Suspenders is a classic combo with so many options. The tie can be made and worn traditionally or as an adjustable clip-on, while the suspenders can be created using leather loops and buttons, or purchased metal clips. 

Even better, both can be made from your woven fabric scraps, so you can make a matching set for every outfit!

These slim fit, ankle-length pants have a side zipper and pockets with a full pocket stay to maintain a smooth front. They’re classic in a solid stretch twill, but they show real personality in a plaid or print!

It’s great in black velvet lined with red satin (with press-on fangs, of course!) for all your costume fantasies, but it can also be a luxurious cool-weather basic in wool or gabardine. 

We’re releasing this mid-month bonus pattern early so you’ll be able to create your own in time for Halloween plans. Happy sewing!

This belted beauty looks prim and proper from the front, with raglan shoulder seams, pockets, and a wide 1930s-inspired collar. But from the back, it brings all the drama!

The Drama Club Cape can be sewn in both cool-weather and warm-weather fabrics, with optional bound buttonholes and a full lining, making this statement outerwear piece perfect for any occasion.

We’ve taken the classic vintage circle skirt and turned it into a fantasy ball gown for all of your prom and homecoming dreams.

The Homecoming Skirt pattern comes in two lengths, with an optional asymmetrical spiral draped overlay for added drama.

It is fully interchangeable with every Lamour-series bodice and also works perfectly as a separate skirt, so you have so many options for both day and night!

Enter the Varsity Sweatshirt! Designed with two different necklines and two lengths, it can be a sporty top with a letterman-style chenille monogram or an extra glam version in sequin or velvet fabric.

Whichever options you choose, as we wrap up the summer session and get ready to head back to Charm School, I hope you enjoy this very easy project!

It’s the Boardwalk Slim Skirt! With the swish of a bias-cut skirt (although it’s cut on the straight grain), this magical slim skirt has just enough flare for walking ease. 

A Lamour-series expansion for the Boardwalk Sundress, it can be used with any Lamour-series bodice or waistband to create a dress or a separate skirt.

And with many fabric options, this skirt is sure to be an elegant and simple addition to your everyday wardrobe.
