capri pants – Charm Patterns

Audrey Cigarette Pants pattern

Gertie — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 07:42:05 +0000

Meet the Audrey Cigarette Pants! Inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s beatnik look in Funny Face, this is a coveted vintage style that will become an everyday wardrobe essential. Choose from a chic ankle-length slim pant or make the capri-length version, and go full matador style with pocket trim and a hem lacing detail. I designed these pants to be ultra-comfy in stretch fabric (secret sweatpants, anyone?) but they also have a tailored feel with crisp curved pockets. The pocket stay makes sure that there’s no gaping, just a sleek look to flatter your curves. (You can even cut the pocket stay from power mesh for a little extra control!) I hope you love this practical yet dapper addition to our pattern library.

Cobbler Dress and Set Pattern

Gertie — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 01:00:33 +0000

We’re so excited to bring you the Cobbler Dress and Set! This design is based on ’50s cobbler aprons: tunic-style garments with big pockets that were cinched at the waist with a tie. Usually made in cheerful cottons and worn for housework and other domestic activities, the cobbler apron looked fabulous while being comfortable and functional. You know we love to bring you versatility, so we gave this pattern so many options it’s practically a wardrobe on its own! The dress version is surprisingly chic while being incredibly comfy and flattering (if you’re a Popover Dress fan, then this is a must-make). Don’t forget to add the ruffle to the front princess seams for a touch of ’40s fab! Or make the top-length version and pair it with the included capri pants. These pants have a flat front and back elastic waistband so they look polished enough to wear on their own, but are comfy enough to lounge or work in. Choose from an adorable tie leg or just a simple slit at the hem. Either way, this set will have you feeling like a domestic goddess. Add a matching oven mitt (from our free pattern on the Charm site) to complete the look! Our skill of the month is bias binding, so make sure to watch the video to learn how to sew this simple and polished edge finish.

xoxo, Gertie
