I loved it. And I love that you said you learn from Bernadette. I love 18th-century hand sewing (old machines, etc, etc,). This piece seems simple enough for me to try as a beginner. Thank you for taking the time to show us. ❤
Gotta love an easy project now and then! I need to pick a time before I make one of these, though I will be borrowing that front box pleat idea for other creations...
Never seen an 18th century petticoat like this before. They usually have openings at each side to allow access to pockets or panniers and then tie back to front and front to back.
Yeah I don't see these as often. Usually if it's an underskirt it should be fine since you can put your pocket over top. The skirt that will be seen will definitely need the slits to access a pocket
The bottom layer petticoat would often close in the back since it goes under the pocket, and so doesn’t need pocket slits. Burnley and Trowbridge and American Duchess both talk about this in various books and videos.
Ya, the main petticoat will have slits at the sides to access the pockets, but since this one is worn under the stays (and the pockets goes over the stays) there's no need to have side slits. But I'm no expert! I just am doing as the American Duchess book recommends!
So is the under petticoat different to the petticoat and underskirt? Will you be making another petticoat to smooth out the rump, and will that one have the side slits? Also you have the same waist measurement as me! 😅
So based on what the book recommends, I'll have this under-petticoat and then another petticoat (that ends up being seen in the front, and then the dress. This is how the book shows and so decided to just do that! (The rump goes on top of this petticoat and then is the silk petticoat on top of that.)
Your historical project on the 18th Century Linen Under-Petticoat looks absolutely fascinating! We just sent you an email with some additional information and resources related to this project. Be sure to check it out as it will enhance your journey into the world of historical fashion🙂.
The shift and petti-coat combo looks so comfy and cool. I wanna lounge around in my linen undies...bliss! Beautifully handsewn, as well!
I just finished a shift I've been making. Its fun to see other people making them.❤ i need to learn and figure out how to do the mantua seam
This is such a great series! Your hand stitching is lovely. Looking forward to seeing what gown you've picked to make.
Aw, thank you! Looking forward to sharing!
That is such a nice petticoat, it's such a cute skirt. I need to make more, my other one is fighting for it's life~.

@@asiabryant207 Yeah for sure. It will be interestng to see how the garment progresses.

@@BellaMaesDesigns Ah, sorry Bella. I didn't realise it was for underneath all the understructure.

@@BellaMaesDesigns ah ok that makes sense! 😄
amazing!
"So, if you're new to the 18th century" was really funny to me for some reason.
Handsewing question (to other viewers as well): How do you keep the yarn from twisting around itself? Drives me crazy
I try to cut short lengths of thread and wax it. I also cuss under my breath a lot but not sure if that one helps
@@TriciawithaC thank you for the tip with the waxing! Cussing doesn't work, unfortunately, I tried that already :(
let it hang from the needle every once in a while
