outerwear – Charm Patterns

Brooklyn Jacket Pattern

Gertie — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 17:57:52 +0000

Meet the Brooklyn Jacket! Yet again, I’m bringing you something inspired by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, since I know you all just can’t get enough of her looks. Midge never shies away from a fabulous jacket or coat, and as costume designer Donna Zakowska wrote in her excellent book Madly Marvelous, “her rainbow closet of coats became inseparable from her persona.” Likewise, she has a whole collection of little jackets to coordinate with her dresses and skirts.

The Brooklyn Jacket is a fully lined and fitted jacket in two lengths, with two versatile sleeve options. Make it in a cropped version with darling covered buttons and an open front or in the waist-length version with a sophisticated front button closure. With an optional faux welt breast pocket and pocket square, you have many mix-and-match opportunities to sew your own elegant fantasy! The best part of this jacket is that it’s weather-appropriate no matter where you are in the world. — xoxo, Gertie

Charm Scout Capelet Pattern

Gertie — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 23:49:15 +0000

Welcome to Camp Gertie! We’re giving Patreon a fun new twist this year: you’re all officially Charm Scouts so of course you need a snazzy uniform. Make a capelet that would make Phyllis Neffler proud! This design is also interchangeable with the Hooded Princess Coat Expansion from February 2020, so you can make a hooded capelet, or even a Princess Coat with a removable capelet! Don’t forget to watch this month’s video to see how the capelet comes together.

Swing Coat Pattern

Gertie — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 08:23:07 +0000

The Swing Coat has a luxe swing shape and dramatic cuffed sleeves, perfect for throwing on over your vintage finery! The funnel-shaped neckline makes it quick and easy to sew, so this coat comes together in a jiffy. Make it full length with in-seam pockets (extra points for making a dress to match your lining) or short with cute patch pockets. This project can suit a variety of climates and seasons depending on your fabric choice: make it in cotton for a swingy beach jacket or in snuggly wool for a winter topper. Don’t forget to watch the companion video on Patreon to see how it comes together!
