new sizes and more for Gemma + a discount for you! 🎉

 

I'm so happy to announce that we've updated our beloved Gemma  Sewing Pattern and it is now available in an updated size range with brand new features! Gemma now includes fourteen sizes (A-N) and is designed to fit chests x-66 inches [-168 cm] and hips 35-70 inches [89-178 cm], joining Garnet, Citrine, Ruby, and Cleo in our most inclusive size range! 

 

 We've updated the Gemma instructions to give them a fresh new look, METRIC to all of the charts, and LAYERS to all of the pattern pieces! Gemma also now comes with a PROJECTOR file for those of you with home sewing projector setups. 

 

In case you're not familiar with this with this pattern, Gemma is a classic sleeveless tank pattern that includes two necklines, jewel (high) and scoop (low), and features a shirttail hem, bust darts, and bias bound neckline and armholes.  With this update, I added a second cropped length option in addition to the original length.

 

To see the new size and yardage charts for Gemma, as well as tutorials and other Gemma inspiration, visit the Gemma page on my website. I also wrote all about the update in this blog post.

Take a look at some beautiful Gemmas from a few of our lovely preview testers in a variety of sizes and fabrics…

Jessica @jessicawaldegar (above) made three fabulous versions of Gemma: two out of comfy double gauze , and one out of a cheerful teal cotton check.

 

Asmita @elephantinthestudy (below) made two versions with beautiful kalamkari and sangenari fabrics from India:

Tiffany @TiffanyMakes made a white linen tank - so versatile!!

And Amy @modernpearlco made two as well; one in a chambray and one in a fun botanical linen print:

If you're just getting into garment sewing, Gemma is a great skill-builder, and if you're a more experienced sewist, you'll love how quickly you'll be able to create versions of this wardrobe staple. Gemma is perfect for hot summer days, or for all-season layering.

 

I really hope you love this update! Gemma has always been one of our most popular designs and we're excited to bring this update to you!

 

Happy sewing,
