Making an Eighteenth-Century Petticoat and Pockets!

#Historybounding #historyinspired #myirelandbox
Welcome one and all! I'm getting back to YouTube-roots with some historical shenanigans. I've always wanted to make some eighteenth-century pockets with this style of skirt so I figured why not make it a little shorter and call it modern?

Really love the denim-like robe/dress after min 11

[juanitacrocker]

Liked it. Cute skirt/petticote. Id wear it for church myself.

lmao subscribed the second I saw the Legolas poster.

I'm making a similar style skirt in wool for our very cold Minnesota winters and am so excited that it will fit regardless of postpartum weight changes.

I have a store-bought skirt that is too big around that I'm converting into this style (inspired by seeing the Coquelicot skirt). I've been hemming (ugh, the pun!) & hawing about how to do the side seams. I like your solution here -- kinda genius! I'm definitely ripping (ugh!) that off. 😁

Thank you for talking us through this, and for low-volume music. A great tutorial. Thanks.

I made this type of skirt yesterday and omg girl, i did the same exact mistake by ended up with too wide feont and back panels 😂 had to add more pleats as well, but unfortunatelly i realized it when I alread had sewn the waistband on 🥲 but turned out pretty nevertheless.
Yours looks absolutelly goregous. And your hair is so pretty as well ✨️

I made this almost a sew along, I made it knee length. I used light aquamarine embroidered cotton and added an emerald green tulle ruffle to the hem. I know, I just wanted to use that tulle up 😂 I’m gonna make a tougher one for every day use 👍🏻 also, LEGOLAS 😍

This is so wonderful!! Such a great blend of techniques!!
I wonder if ties could be forgone for lapped waistbands that have the button on the INSIDE, but several buttonholes for when we fluctuate. I know I like to wear my skirts with and without corsets and sometimes the ties cut in too much and leave marks. 🤔

[patriciajrs]

I just got an idea: could you put an elastic-pocket-allowance on the inside waist of that too-big- skirt. --so it only shows from the inside, but it gathers that small excess that you have?

great for little old lady in nursing home. beautiful

[katdazzlemovies]

Thank you, you explained it so well! I’ve wanted to make one of these skirts for awhile, now I know how.

Emma. 2020 is so amazing. I feel like I get a craving for that movie once a month, it's sumptuous

[MrHandoverfist]

I like the "seen" stitches...

[oldtavernfarm]

Excellent tutorial! I would live in these clothes if I knew how to make them. I've got dozens of yards of fabric in my sewing room (quilter here) saved for when I learn. This was a first step! Thanks! I think I get it! Lol. Subscribed!

[The_Viking_Highlander]

Loved this so much 😍 Such a good idea. I must admit to to telling the screen that the pleats need to be deeper otherwise it will be too big. However, the outcome is beautiful! Keep rolling, you're doing great!!!

[TheKjoy]

I have now seen this concept made as a circle skirt, gathered, and pleated, but this is the first one I've seen where the pockets weren't attached directly to the skirt.

[historianhilly]

Love it! I want to make one but keep putting it off 😅

[Saxinful]

Congratulations on your sewing roll! I might need to borrow it in a few weeks when I have some time! So many plans, so little time

[hannahgreen]

It's so cute! I'm going to try it out in a wool fabric I have. Hopefully there's enough lol. Thanks for sharing this project!

Lovely video. Also lovely is the linen(?) dress you are wearing. Do you have a video or pattern number for it?
