I *love* the 18th century petticoats. I've actually looked into making and selling them, especially for us bigger ladies, since it's so hard for us to find things online.
I'm an upcycler, and bedsheets work great for petticoats, as well. ☺️ Then you don't have to hem nearly as much. 😁👍 So if you want try this method without spending a lot of money, especially when teaching kids to sew, I would recommend the thrifting route. ☺️
Hi Rebecca, it is a pleasure to see you up at the sewing machine and looking as though you are recovering. I was watching an episode of Tales from the Green Valley this past week and heard Ruth and Chloe talking about adjustable clothing in the time period of this series, which I think is 1600's, they spoke of skirts. I was encouraged and made a sort of mock one this past week to see how it would do. It turned out wonderfully, I love wearing it for a daily work skirt for home. I made a casing on the top to put my ties through and have gathers. It is not gathered as full as I want, as I used some left over fabric, but I plan to make another and will make the gathers just a bit more. My length is ankle length. In Joy
This is my favorite style of skirt to make lately. The only thing I would do differently is to use the selvage *as* the hem. No hemming needed. To make sure it lines up, each side seam is sewn starting at the bottom of the seam to the split point. For mid to heavy fabric, I have been known to do a roll hem on each piece at the sides, then when I sew it up, it's an overlap of those hem things and an extra sidewise bit of stitching at the split point. It looks nice and is sturdy. Any excuse to use the tie on pockets is a good time!
Congratulations. This is one of the best videos I've watched on the subject. I love your sunny disposition and the way you explain everything yet keep it simple for newbies like myself. I think I'm finally ready to give it a try! Thank you ❤
I'm planning a skirt/petticoat like this. I mainly need a petticoat for a folk dress and I know they actually just used older skirts as petticoats for their finer dresses, so why not do the same and make a skirt for everyday use in this fashion! I'll just tuck it all they way round and not just on the sides, as that's the way the folk dress skirt is done as well. The main difference will actually be the adjustability. Oh and possible using a stiff fabric to fold the hem, to make it stand out more.
Beautiful, informative video. Thank you. Can the top binding/twill tape be substituted with left over material from the skirt for the waistband? Sorry, I'm new to sewing.
Do you sew 'private' orders for people ? If so, I'd love to pay you to make me a few skirts like the one you just showed here ... All I own is a small (dollar store) sewing (mending kit) LOLOL : ( ... Thank-you, Cindy
