I have an 1860s knit underpetticoat and it's DELIGHTFUL in cold weather. I love the yoke design to remove the bulk from the waist.
Robin Coccagna The red and white one from Godey’s? Long shot but that’s what I’m knitting. Glad to hear they’re warm!
I cant even explain how proud I felt watching you draft your pattern. It makes me so happy to see people learning to sew, draft, and be crafty. Your whole ensemble is looking magnificent. I love it!
Hi I agree, youtube showing clever crafty and talented people is what it should be, not some of the crap that is on it.
Closet Historian does really nice sewing tutorials. She has a video or two on how to make your own basic blocks/slopers so you can just modify the shape for how you want the garment to look and they'll always fit. I don't sew a lot, but watching her has given me so much more confidence in what sewing I do!
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know someone else out there is crazy enough to be knitting Victorian/Edwardian lace for miscellaneous unmentionables.
When colour changes are really close like that I carry the ends up. It gets hidden when you sew the seams together and then there less ends to weave in and no bulk on one side. I hate hate hate weaving in ends so any opportunity for less of them I'll take.
I am going to check this pattern out. I've been wondering how to keep warm wearing skirts in the winter. It seems like it would be easy adjust the petticoat length.
that’s what i was going to suggest! i’m glad someone said it closer to when she posted; i just subscribed after watching this video!
Your work is lovely! I think your issue with the back closure of the yoke is your buttonholes. They are beautifully done, but horizontal ones are more common for garments with a lot of strain. To avoid having to redo the whole yoke, I would add some trouser hook and bars con the side of the buttons closer to the opening. But well done!
Why didn’t you carry your yarn up the side for the color changes? So much easier when you have narrow stripes like that. Lovely work though
What a wonderful channel! My husband noticed your post on reddit this morning and told me to check out your channel! I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for sharing your makes which requires so much scholarship and attention to detail.
My knitting skills are meager. I have made simple things, but by no means am more than functional. I learned to knit Continental while we were in Germany when I was 9, which I enjoy. The next year, we moved back to the States, and they only knew how to knit English. I was in my 20's when I found a knit shop, took a 2-color knitting class and found out what happened...ding-ding-ding!!! I am slow.
However...I sew much better than I knit. It's nice to see you have an appreciation for Bernadette and the others in the historical costume community, so I have subscribed!
Morgan Donner does wonderful sewing tutorials on her channel as well as of course Bernadette Banner, who is amazing.
I would have struggled emotionally with knitting panels that need to be sewn together. I would have tried to knit the whole thing as a giant piece which would be a whole different kind of stressful especially at the end when it became enormous.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I was just thinking that knitting might be a good way to dip my toe into historical costuming, since I have vastly more experience with that than sewing, when I stumbled across this video. You've inspired me to start looking at historical knitting patterns.
I do have a suggestion for you next time you have to work stripes like that. You can avoid weaving in all those ends by carrying the yarn up the side of the row instead of breaking it at each color change. It's not particularly noticeable especially on narrow stripes like those, and will save you a LOT of time.
I feel exactly the same! I've been obsessed with historical dress since I was a child but I find sewing a lot more intimidating than knitting. I think a pair of those stockings are in my future for sure!
@@tallbluestarry8962 the funny thing is to me, someone who sews historical dresses, knitting seems so much more difficult than sewing! You're basically building the fabric at the same time and you have to do it in a way that there's patterns within the knitting, etc. and even the whole needle part looks tricky. I've never knit before and I do plan to try and learn but wow - it definitely is much more intimidating to me.
Hello Hello, Just happened upon your channel & I'm So sorry it seems I've Caught you in your Undies.. lol..
Seriously though.. I love your work & might be considering binge-watching your channel today..
A woman could be doing any number of things at once in the old days..
My mother always had her needles, hooks, yarn - absolutely any number of small projects tucked in a project tote....
As I am Ancient -- I remember being my Mothers's shadow when I was little..
Mother said: " The reason the instructions are so vague was the {Individuality} of a piece".
She would be doing any number of things then call me away from playing to come in and stand still for a few minutes.. She gleaned sizes by holding the project up to me.. & After years of practice, she never needed a pattern as they made them up & shared them too..
Sometimes, the ladies would come over for tea & only show each other their work.. & how they came up with a new stitch or Idea.
I never thought anything of it until you mentioned that the instructions were not quite clear.
I hope this Helps out a little..
seeing your dog's little nose sticking in frame at 7:49 cracked me up lol, probably because it reminds me of my own chihuahua/heeler mix i have😊
I kind of feel like I would like to make this skirt to wear with modern clothes, just with a yoke that is knit instead of sown. Like maybe making a yoke that is of a sturdier stitch than stockinette (like the linen stitch, herringbone, etc).
If you think of another project for knitting, why don't you take into consideration Bavarian Jackets? Specially with lantern sleeves and fit waist. They look so well!
Speaking of Bernadette Banner, she now has a full Skillshare class on handsewing!
I had a thought. Instead of buttons you could do a bra-style with a few different sizes of hooks and bars/eyes.
Well done 👍🏻 For an inexperienced seamstress you did a good job on the yoke.
I love this so much! the idea of a knitted petticoat makes so much sense -- no idea how I didn't come across this earlier. I also love your channel. I find knitting a lot more accessible than sewing, especially since many of the techniques haven't changed over time. So awesome to learn all these historical patterns and project ideas from you!
Watching you makes me hopeful. I really good at knitting, but terrible at sewing. I hope I‘ll learn soon :)
What a cute petticoat. I've looked at the pattern so (sew) many times and passed it over, but now I'm kinda inspired to make it.
The skirt looks amazing!
This was so interesting, and the chevron pattern is extremely satisfying!
Congratulations on your accomplishment! I was very impressed, with your calculations at the close of the video. I love Ms. Banner as well, and you demonstrated that many more of us can succeed with historical knitting and garment construction when we are so determined, yet inexperienced. Thank you for showing how you interpreted those antiquated instructions too. Blessings and Prayers for Peace!🌻🧶🧵🙂
I love the Victorian era and love all the progress you have made so far!! I am really looking forward to seeing how you are going to execute the dress for over the petticoat! I think you are so creative and using a band around your waist for the knitting will definitely help your petticoat stay in place and not fall or sag...WOW! I can’t imagine how you are going to make the dress I assume you will be sewing it, but don’t tell us yet because I would love to be surprised! Keep up your amazing work and you have inspired me to start my own petticoat, combinations, slippers. Also, I am curious how your planning to finish your ensemble.... it should be beautiful!
I’m loving your content! I’m really wanting to try crocheting an edwardian yoke for a nightgown, but I’m much more experienced at knitting, so I’m really glad I found your channel!
as a person who wears a lot of dresses... I would love to crochet a warm petticoat like this
My Grandmother Sarah Annie Aisling-Taylor, used to crochet petticoats but sadly none came down to me. She also made filet curtains.
This is amazing and I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve always known how to sew and just starting to knit so I totally understand the struggle of trying to learn a new skill! I highly recommend drafting skirt and bodice blocks in your size, these are a generic pattern piece that you can trace and modify to make whatever you need. It helps to make things like yokes, because you can just trace off and alter slightly instead of having to engineer a new piece for every project :)
I’m so looking forward to see your completed look, each component has been so much fun to follow along with!
Oh I'm going to love this channel. Instant sub!
Christopher Metcalf ditto!
I'm with you
This is really interesting. I don't do anything close to knitting or sewing but I think its fascinating how knowledgeable you are about the subject and how entertaining and digestible you make your content.
This is such a neat piece!
Great video!🌟 Such a refreshing approach to dressing! 🌟I am looking now at other videos made by the same talented 🌟and patient🌟 producer🌟! Brava!!!🌟
I was inspired to do the same when seeing this! Have redone the first panel 4 times and realized I've done the gather 3 every single row instead of every other so my chevron angle is quite severe 😅
Ah well... it'll still be a skirt in the end
Absolutely thumbs up! Looks amazing 😄Had a pair of those boots once...lots of ankle support. Right now I'm knitting a pitcher purse. Hope all is well 😷
I am more the a little impressed. It's a beautiful piece.
This is awesome, I'm so excited to make this! Winter is my favorite time to wear skirts, so it will come in handy. I have a question though -- did you use circular needles to make the skirt panels?
What an incredible accomplishment! Thank you for including your statistics at the end! It keeps it real for us! Beautiful result!
It looks wonderful if you made the yoke similar you wouldn't be out of place wering it on its own well done
I think it's exquisite and the workmanship is stunning 💯💙💛💜
Bought your interpretation of the petticoat and can't wait to get started on it... not sure if I want to do in different shades of pink or just all deep purple... only yarn I have right now... fixed income is such a bummer, can only purchase once a month and because of covid-19 not much at Walmart to choose from... 😂 😆 😂 hug's Lynn Weasenforth 💯 stay safe from the pandemic madness we are all going through 😘💖☮️💐💯💜💛💙💐
Wow that is so interesting well done
Tbh I wasn’t feeling the colors. I was like this is going to take her years to make and she chose that?! But then I saw the first panel and was like I should have trusted her vision!! These came out great!! I also couldn’t stop laughing when you were blocking. I have DEF been there before. Lol. Reminds me of me. But really this came out beautifully!!! You should be really proud of your skills and trying new things. My seeing is pretty abysmal so I get that struggle. I don’t think I’d keep moving forward the way you did. And def wouldn’t have come out so well. Congrats on a beautiful project!
I would never have thought to knit a petticoat, but your wonderful demonstration has inspired me. I wonder if it does not stick to our modern skirts or dresses. Generally a petticot has a smooth surface so the outer clothes skim over it. Second question: what is that sort of knee-warmer on the left page? Could you do a video on that because it seems very useful for cold or stiff knees in winter, for this elderly person.
Love the dog nose at 7:47 :D
it looks amazing!! Wow!! Also I found it a bit funny when you said you didn't know much sewing etc. because I consider myself fairly experienced with sewing historical stuff (especially handsewing - was handsewing the ruffle onto the sleeve of my chemise a la reine while watching this video haha) but I know zero knitting and I was watching you knit thinking 1. wow she's SO good, and 2. wow that looks hard and like it would take me a LONG time.
I had this video recommended to me because I was shocked to find out it was possible to knit skirts! The skirt came out so pretty!! I don't think I'll be capable of knitting a skirt anytime soon but I migh challenge myself to try and learn so I can make a cardigan and maybe some really long and warm socks for winter.
Anyway, this was insanely impressive and looks amazing! And also those combinations look really really warm and soft and now I want knitted combinations...
Love this video and I think the petticoat looks amazing! I'm just getting started in historical costume and am definitely going to make this at some point. Love you for making your interpretation of the pattern available by the way, and it's now on my shopping list. Out of curiosity, how much yarn did you end up needing?
You can be proud !! It's verra hard to make botton hole by hand
It is hard to block acrylic. It looks great 🥰.
WOW !
When fitting, turn the opening around to the front, then back around to see if ok.
I love that I found your channel and this journey to creating your own complete 1982 outfit! ❤️
Incredibly random but is that Nutella? If she is, I have the fluffy grey dog in your complex and stumbled on this vid on reddit :D Awesome hobby!
It is, hi neighbor! You have the sweetest, fluffiest dog :D and thank you!
@@EngineeringKnits I subscribed! Your knitting skills are amazing O:
i mean all the respect for you but why acrylic?
I would have never thought to knit a petticoat for winter! This is so interesting. I have one question, could you use straight needles to knit this pattern? I cant knit in the round 😅
Of course you can. There's no work um the round in this pattern.
What is the needle size you use for knitting these type of clothing?
I've been looking for a knitted skirt... I hope I can pull this off! Is this beginner-friendly? Oh I think it's not beginner-friendly...Thank you for this and GOD BLESS.
Where on earth did you find that 1892 knitting book?
how much yarn does this pattern need? i'd love to try and make it but i dont have much yarn of a single type in my stash
Why didn't you carry the yarn on those color changes?
I'm looking at the PDF, and it says size 18 needles for stockings. How does it convert to modern sizes?
This is a late reply, but I think they were in UK terms for the needle sizes. So if you were to look at needle size charts, that should help. They're not listed in millimeter in the patterns. Just size number.
Is acrylic comfortable to wear?
My experience is that clothes knitted from acrylic can be very soft and comfortable. They're not scratchy like wool, but the yarn is still stretchy and easy to knit with. There are some low-quality acrylicsthat are rough though, so you should either touch the yarn in the store or read reviews before buying.
The downsides of acrylic are that it's not as warm as wool, and it tends to trap sweat inside and make you more smelly if you sweat in it.
Hello, I am really interested to try your pattern but I am quite unsure how many yarn you used in total for your petticoat. Did you really use 4 times 1020 yards of the grey yarn? It really seems like a lot 😱
I don't understand why you cut the yarn at every row for making the stripes. If you had carried the unused yarn instead you'd have had only one blue yarn length to stop. Your project was quite successful.
do you wear this petticoat out a lot
You definitely need a dress form. You could have draped paper pattern for the yoke on it as a matter of minutes ;)
Knitting or sewing is the only way you can buy a wollen petticoat these days
