I'm most excited to see the red suit with the Lady Dandy waistcoat. I think the Rita blouses are right up your alley, so I'm looking forward to those, too. May the sewing gods smile on you! 🦚🔵🧵
I love Gertie's patterns so much! I've made a few Night and Day dresses and LOVE them. The Lucille trousers are on my list for this year too. Cant wait to see how all these projects turn out!
The magnets for cape closures ARE a good idea. They will work. I did the closure and also magnet closures when I made a vintage Butterrick cape pattern for my daughter. Those magnets are very strong.
Lovely projects. I am looking forward to seeing them made up. I like all those 50s-style fitted bodices with big skirts so those are what I am most looking forward to.
They will all be beautiful, Sian! I particularly love the Night and Day dress. I am using one of the views as inspiration for a dress I plan to cobble together from one of my self-drafted bodice patterns, my favourite bishop sleeve pattern, and a gathered skirt attached at dropped waist level. Should be pretty 😍 🤞 At least I shall have fun trying!
It will work! I found with pencil skirts, I can ear them with more ease in the hips and legs. The silhouette is there but more ease. My plan is I am making a dressy version of the Sienna maker jacket (with parts morphed on), make some blouses, and if the jacket works, I will make a wool crepe one and a rayon challis one for summer. I am also going to fit my first corset by the end of the year for dress corselettes.
Can't wait to see how you get on with your make nine plans. I'm a Warm Spring and l love your red wool suiting fabric. Having your colours done is brilliant l would highly recommend it so looking forward to seeing your vlog on how you found the process xx
can't wait to see your Charm pattern makes. The hooded cape is just adorable! I have made the Rita blouse (short sleeved)as I love that style. Once I had sorted the fitting, it turned out well!
I love all your plans! I actually want to make the waistcoat with the lucille trousers too. I have made the trousers but they turned out huge on me so I need to watch that fit clinic. Also you inspire me sooo much with your goal of doing the things that scare you. I will try this too and not only with sewing... ❤️
Yay! I've been waiting for this one. 😉 I'm so excited to see how these come together into a collection throughout the year. I'm also sewing my first corset this year (and my first tailored jacket), and I totally feel you about feeling intimidated by ambitious plans. But we can do it!!!
I'm looking forward to anything that makes you happy, that's what counts...it makes a big difference all around. You're delightful, it's like having a friend next to me while sewing etc.. Thank you and I wish you, your family and of course the paw babies all the blessings 🦋🦀💜
Such exciting projects!!🎉❤❤ I have never done a make 9 (I really should) but I have been working my way thru 6 of Gertie's Butterick and Simplicity patterns and have started on the Charm's now. Your D&G fabrics are GORGEOUS!!!🌹🌹🌹Can't wait to see your progress. xx
I am so excited for your make 9! I have many of these same projects planned for this year too! It will be fun to see your twist on the same project I do!
Yay! I love these patterns 🥰 I’ve just made a mock-up of the Lucille trousers. The pockets are awesome 😂 and the crotch is super comfortable. The waist is too high for my short body so I’m rethinking the waistband and need to try a really drapey fabric as the the fabric I used is overwhelming my frame. We succeed or we learn. I’ve made two Rita blouses which I love. I would use cotten with a tiny bit of stretch next time as getting them off is harder than getting them on 🙄 The pencil stanwyck stumped me as it has extra hip/bum shaping that isn’t on me. 😅 I love your fabric choices ❤ You can do it!
*Laughs at myself* I'm looking forward to all of the HUGE sleeves, anything with a fitted bodice, and anything with a twirly skirt! So that's nearly EVERYTHING in your list of projects. I made a hobble skirt/wiggle skirt in year one of apparel design school. I then wore the muslin and the wool skirts To Death. I mean, they were literally were falling apart but I ADORED them. I think you will love how snatched the Stanwyck skirt will make your waist appear. *Winks cheerily*
Charm patterns are such your style! I'm guessing that if you stick with one company you only need to learn once what to do with their block to fit it. WRT removable collars, I have a RTW blazer that has one. Tiny buttons are hidden inside the blazer collar and the fake fur bit has little loops of elastic that fasten around the buttons. Hope that helps!
I love the new Gertie patreon dress. It is my only dress planned for sure for 2023. I have others I want to do including a baby doll vogue designer dress. Time is always the issue.
Make the Society dress *and* the Lamour dress, I loved the process of making mine & I'd really like to see your take on it... Have to admit I have the Rita & Dorothy on my 'to buy' list for this year but want to make more progress working through the patterns of Gertie's I already have, given my Charm patterns collection, Simplicity & Butterick Gertie collection, my patreon Gertie collection and Gertie book collection!! You are going to smash M9 again, I know it 💛
Greetings Sian. Thanks for the inspiration. I liked what you did last year by choosing to work with D & D patterns for your make nine. I think I'll "borrow" that idea and work with the MimiG patterns issued by Simplicity. I have all of them, so the only problem is choosing nine and then selecting the fabric. But it's a start. I am looking forward to seeing your "Spicy Pirate Diva" (my name) collection reveals.
All of your ideas look wonderful. You will do great with these projects. You totally have the skills to take these on. Break them down into small parts and get them done. I am most exited to see the process of how you do these makes. It will be so nice to see you stretch yourself. It will give me the motivation to do the same. Lets not forget to have fun through the frustrations that are inevitable and remember that is how we learn what works🥰😁.
I've made some of Gertie's patreon patterns - the more casual ones. I can't wait to see yours especially the pencil skirt. I might join you with that one ☺️
I’m not particularly familiar with many of the Charm patterns so I’m really excited to see these made up! They are absolutely beautiful and are going to look stunning made up with those fabrics!! X
How exciting! Just thinking about your interlining in coats - I have made a few now and find that they are absolutely warm enough for me with just the outer layer and lining fabric. Looking forward to seeing these projects :D
All the pretty plans! 😍 I like the whole outfit idea around the Lady Dandy waistcoat the best. But the dresses will be gorgeous, I’m sure. Are you familiar with flipper bones to anchor strapless dresses to a corset and prevent them slipping down? I find them very intriguing because I dislike strapless anything for that very reason. I’m just nowhere near tackling a proper corset for myself. ❤
I love that there are a few of these that I also am planning on making this year!! The red theme is awesome and that bright color does look amazing on you! 💜😊
I am so excited that you are doing charm this year. I’ve been dying for you to make more of her patterns. I also suspected that you were a fellow Charmer!!!
I am looking forward to seeing all these patterns made up as I love the designs but I think that they would be too formal for the life that I lead. Although I might buy the patterns for the princess coat, Rita blouse and pencil skirt. I am also interested in the construction of the waterfall dress, as I think it would make a wonderful special occasion dress but I understand if it's not your thing as the back does not show a defined waistline.
I have Hepburn and I have two size down two sizes so your mileage may vary! I’m trying some Gertie this year too so far mixed results but I’m excited to see how you do I made the society and struggle with it again I had to size down ( small busted) but for you and your shape you should love the society
Oh! And for some reason the Rita sleeve expansion is to short at the top so I needed to cut out a new sleeve since it did not reach all the way to the back and front. Hard to explain. If you want I can send you a pic on Patreon or insta to show what I mean 😊
Yay so great to finally see this video and your plans! ❤ Love Charm patterns and I’ve been a Patreon since month 2 so also have lots of these patterns… I got the Lana and NIght and Day for Xmas so fab that you’re making those too. I’m not going to make the Lana bodice until I’m at my ideal weight just because it would be so hard to adjust I think. I’ve made 3 Ritas so far, 1 with bishop sleeves that were HUGE - I ended up taking them up to 3/4 length and am much happier with that. I’ve made the Stanwyck circle skirt twice but not the pencil skirt yet…
I just love this idea! I have never participated in a Make 9 before but I absolutely love the idea of sticking with one pattern company. I am totally stealing this and now I need to decide between Love Notions and Seamwork, two companies that I have a lot of patterns from that I have not made. I love Charm patterns, and 15 years ago they would have been perfect for my lifestyle, but not now. However, you have tempted me with a few of your choices…
I absolutely LOVE the society dress too and it’s barged it’s way into my plans! I’d actually planned to hack the woven similar 40s style dress (can’t remember the number but you’ve made it) into a knit dress so brilliant I don’t have to now. Have you thought about once you’ve made and fitted the LIz that you might look to hack the bust/straps to be like your Trashy Diva dresses? I’d love to see that - it’s one of the few patterns I’ve not got because I have narrow sloped shoulders and just don’t think it’ll work for me as is… 🤔
Love it 😍 looking forward to seeing all of this! I’ve said it before: bee really careful about the crotch length on her patterns, I’ve found it to bee short.
Question. Are your colours only for your black hair, and need to change when you dye it another shade? For example the reds will look gorgeous with black hair.
@@KittenishBehaviourSian that’s excellent. So they will always be your colours and you definitely know what to go with and probably more importantly for me, what to stay away from 🤣

It will all be beautiful but the night and day dress in the D&G large rose fabric will be dreamy.
I love Gertie's patterns so much! I've made a few Night and Day dresses and LOVE them. The Lucille trousers are on my list for this year too. Cant wait to see how all these projects turn out!
You have designed a wardrobe for a movie!!! Wonderful xxxxx
The three piece suit will be absolutely gorgeous!!
I love Charm Patterns. I've been a Patreon since the beginning and finally made some of them in 2022. I want to sew more of them this year as well.
The magnets for cape closures ARE a good idea. They will work. I did the closure and also magnet closures when I made a vintage Butterrick cape pattern for my daughter. Those magnets are very strong.
Lovely projects. I am looking forward to seeing them made up. I like all those 50s-style fitted bodices with big skirts so those are what I am most looking forward to.
Loving the plans, particularly the bishop sleeved rita blouse in the viscose fabric
I love Gertie and can't wait to watch your journey. The Liz and Lamour intimidate me as well.
I can’t wait to see all the Charm Patterns makes. 🤩

The Rita in the cotton lawn will be lovely! I can’t wait to see it!
I look forward to seeing each of these makes, but particularly the patchwork fabric you showed last. Perhaps that is because I’m a quilter. 😄
Best of luck with this years make nine with Gertie Patterns. Going to be an interesting year!
This is going to be an amazing collection, you totally have the skills to do this. Happy to follow along this challenge ❤
I love all your plans! I actually want to make the waistcoat with the lucille trousers too. I have made the trousers but they turned out huge on me so I need to watch that fit clinic.

Oh myyyyyy those are incredible! Christine 😺🇨🇦😺
I glimpsed that lovely red rose material in the pile and I'm sold!
I am SO excited for this. I know you can do it and it will be GREAT! 🤩🤩🤩
Yay! I've been waiting for this one. 😉 I'm so excited to see how these come together into a collection throughout the year.
I'm also sewing my first corset this year (and my first tailored jacket), and I totally feel you about feeling intimidated by ambitious plans. But we can do it!!!
So amazing! Looking forward to this year’s make nine!💜🐈⬛💜
The Lamour 3/4 skirt is one I add to everything! I wear a regular bra with the strappy sundressy version.
Can’t wait to see this progress. I’ve always wondered about Charm patterns so this is perfect.
Your make nine for this year looks very exciting. I'd start with the blouse. It seems like a good one to start with.
I'm looking forward to anything that makes you happy, that's what counts...it makes a big difference all around. You're delightful, it's like having a friend next to me while sewing etc.. Thank you and I wish you, your family and of course the paw babies all the blessings 🦋🦀💜

You can do it! Can't wait to see all of them 😍
I'm loving all these plans, especially the Stanwick skirt, I dug that pattern out a few days ago. Good luck! Lynne 🍀🤩

Love your plans! ✨💖✨

I'm such a Gertie fan. I'm making my second Society lol x
Excting 💕💕💕😽💕

I take 3/4-1" out above the bust on all my gertie makes

i’m usually a 12 in gertie, but cut bodice straps and hem for size 2. I’m 5’2”
Love it 😍 looking forward to seeing all of this! I’ve said it before: bee really careful about the crotch length on her patterns, I’ve found it to bee short.

I've managed to get a stanwyck pencil skirt with only 1m by being strategic with my tetris and doing a back slit instead of the pleat

I would think a burgundy red would work on you well since your completion and hair are dead on for Gilmore Girls and that's about all they wore.

Question. Are your colours only for your black hair, and need to change when you dye it another shade? For example the reds will look gorgeous with black hair.
Apparently the way I had my colours done was with my skin tone and eye colour which won't change even though the hair does. :)
@@KittenishBehaviourSian that’s excellent. So they will always be your colours and you definitely know what to go with and probably more importantly for me, what to stay away from 🤣
👌🏼👏🏼

You are a spring??! I would have bet money you were a winter. Pale skin, dark hair, and lots of contrast are signatures of winter.
