Glad to know that the tie on pockets did have hidden compartments. I made my first one in a similar manner. With a from part that was in two compartment and a second compartment. I’ll be making a couple more soon. They are very satisfying to make. Love them.
Thank you for this great video. It gives a lot of inspiration for my next projects and showed me that my accessory collection is going good! I need to finish my mitts, add a new apron and get more ribbons (one always needs more ribbons).
Hiiii I’ve been studying white work from different eras and regions and picot generally refers to a little loop or knot you throw off the scalloped edge. I’m watching the video intently now to see what this edging looks like.
@@sewthroughtime I finished the video! The edging they are showing here I’m finding called a “scalloped” edge. This effect is made by the fabric itself, not by adding picots, so if someone were to look up how to recreate this edging they would search for references on Scalloped edging rather than picot edging which is also easy and super pretty. For a direct reference on the edging shown here you can look up Garments for girls by Schmit, Celestine Leontine 1919 On archive.org. Edit: specifically oh 72-74
@@kimberly_erin picot hem. Yes I'm aware how it's done. Sewing a picot hem is the term modernly most often used but both names are used. If you google google sewing picot hem you get lots of hits showing the technique but I'm glad to hear that the other name produces answers aswell
@@sewthroughtime please look up the references or look at the video close up if you are able, what I’m saying is this edging is actually different. Unless you have a reference for this being called that then I would definitely like to read that book as well.
I LOVE the bit about the black silk aprons!! Louisa May Alcott mentions them in "An Old Fashioned Girl" and I was very curious about them. What are the controversies around them?? I wonder how that may have changed over that century
What pattern, or style, is the green ribboned cap? That was my favorite! Thank you for all the information, your channel has been very helpful as I build my 18th century outfit 😀 Almost donechand sewing my underpetticoat. 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing these! Now that I’ve finished school officially I’m going to finish of my basic out fit for festivals. So I’ve gotta make a fashion petticoat and then next will be a corset down the road and gown if I’m really adventurous(oh and a bum pad I guess) it’s more on the lines of historically inspired than historically adequate since I’m still going from my stash. Thank you all for giving me the material to get into sewing before iAd my machine fixed and now I’m hooked!
I've been searching everywhere for a tutorial for it and can't find one! I don't even know what to search terms to use to make it easier to find, I just get machine hems or cut scallops when I look. Hopefully they'll add one at some point because I think it looks so lovely!
My jaw dropped when Nathaniel Hurd came on the screen. He's at the CMA so when my friend and I go, we always call him Jeff, because he unsettlingly looks like her Dad. I am shocked to know he has an actual name that is not Jeff. Also, my actual question is why were printed cotton kerchiefs middling or lower in the earlier period? Was it just a matter of it was seen as classless and lowbrow? Or was there something more to it?
Actually the printed handkerchiefs are also owned by the gentry. They tend to not be worn as fashion around the neck but rather as perhaps a snuff kerchief. You do see woman wearing printed handkerchiefs of all social levels as you get into the 80's however. It is not definitive that they were not being worn by men and woman of the gentry level earlier. I just have not found it yet. Again in the late 18thc you do see all social levels wearing them.
I've just tumbled down a crewel embroidery rabbit hole... was there mention of a workshop for this later this year? My mind is a leaky sieve and I'd really like to pin this down as something to look forward to later in the year if it's happening?
Thanks for remembering the guys in this livestream. I'm excited to get going on your upcoming men's Historical Sew Along!

"a very lusty stout made Wench" - that's going right on my business card

The scalloped hem is called picot, a picot hem 😊

@@kimberly_erin true, picot can be in white work, knitting, crochet and sewing... 😊 all different techniques but result in a similar looped edge.

It's a double ruffled style that was one of Angela's caps and not a commercial pattern.

so much fun and awesome as usual!
Just discovered your site. Very informative and looking forward to more. Thank you.1
Wow!!! 💕❤️💝
Awesome ! !
Any chance of having the scalloped hem stitch going into a quick video, a la your old stitching series?

Stephanie we can put it in the line up for the future

We will be doing a tambour workshop beginning of the New Year
@@BurnleyandTrowbridge Cool!
Is it historically accurate to use the scallop hem on a 18th century cap?
I don't know that we have seen it on a cap, but then again, never say never, so something to keep a look out for!
Thank you!
