Making Victorian Split Drawers | Simplicity 2890 Pattern Review & Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Join me as I make 1860s drawers from Simplicity 2890! This drawers pattern was copied from an original 1862 pattern in Der Bazaar, and the shapes and construction techniques are historically accurate for the mid nineteenth century.
I hope you enjoy this detailed step-by-step tutorial for creating historically accurate 1860s split/open crotch drawers. In this video, I show you how to easily make pintucks and attach lace trim, too!
Please note that in the 19th century, the bifurcated undergarment worn by women was called drawers, not pantaloons, pantalettes, bloomers, or pettipants. They were simply drawers, and often the crotch seam was left open to facilitate using the restroom.

I know pin tucks are decorative on anyone, but I believe that originally they may have been a way to extend the life of a garment meant for a growing child. As they get taller, tucks are let down to keep the proportional coverage correct.
Marialla, you are absolutely correct! Tucks are well-documented on children's clothing from the late 18th century and into the 19th and early 20th century. I believe that as the sewing machine became widely available in the mid 19th century, tucks as a decorative element became immensely popular.
I understand that split drawers were the reason why the Can-Can dance was considered so scandalous!
As a child I never imagined that drawers might have a split, and could not see why simple high-kicks would shock anyone.
I felt both inappropriately exposed and safely covered up while wearing these 😂 a simple kick and skirt lift could certainly reveal a lot!
They should have never stopped making this style
They got a bit awkward in the 20s with the shorter, flimsier styles. You got the crotch sewn up, and elastic on the bottom of the legs.
Those were some gorgeous and impressively even tucks!!
Thank you!!
My understanding is that sometimes lace edging might be lightly tacked onto a garment, so it could be easily removed before washing. Given the days of expensive hand-made lace, I can easily see why you wouldn't risk it going through the laundry.
Yes, that would make sense, especially for the more delicate laces! I plan on simply spot cleaning these as necessary so that I don't have to press those tucks again.
@@Pour_La_Victoire I am so grateful that laundry in general is so vastly easier now than it once was! I spend less than an hour a week on laundry now. I shudder to imagine a life where laundry took four full days of hard labor!
Same with the ribbon.
Well done! Loved the video! Explanations were clear and I appreciate the music not being too loud. Going to binge watch.
Thank you so much! 😊
The embroider is a really beautiful touch.
Thank you! After I got the hang of it, it was surprisingly quick to apply. I'm definitely adding featherstitch embroidery to future projects, maybe along the neckline of a chemise?
Pour La Victoire I don’t think I’ve seen it before, and I want to try it. It’s a nice edging for all the things.
Another wonderful video!!! You're amazing at doing tutorials for pretty much anything.
Thank you, you're too kind!
I am loving your tutorials so precise ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
You did such a beautiful job!
Thank you so much ❤️
Amo como você posiciona a câmera de forma a pegar exatamente o necessário! Eu definitivamente preciso colocar o ferro de passar no mesmo quarto da máquina de costura 😅😅😅 Ri muito com a parte de parecer grávida KKKKKK
That was really adorable, and I loved that sweet bit of embroidery that you did. Thank you!
So happy that you enjoyed it 🥰 thank you!
Lovely as always!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the lovely tutorials 💖
You're welcome, I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
Pour La Victoire
I really enjoy them. I bought this pattern in a sale last month here in Sweden. I’ve ordered my fabric and found your tutorials😄 Serendipity 🌸
hey! such a calm and informative video to watch, i'm a fan!! and i wonder if you could help me with some questions? i'm finishing a project for my masters and i am making my own drawers pattern since i can't find any near me or any i can afford lol (struggling student here ahah) how much is the overlap of the crotch area? and like can you tell me more or less how much the waist size is bigger for all that gathering? (like 2x or 3x times your waist size?) thank you so much!!
Hi, I'm really glad you enjoyed this video! One inch overlap of the leg pieces at the front waist should be good. My drawers are at least 2x my waist size and the crotch hits at mid-thigh -- all that extra room makes it easy to "use the facilities" while wearing them. If you have tiny scraps of fabric, you can try making a doll sized pair of drawers to test out the drafting and proportions. Good luck on your masters project!
I love the frilly black top you're wearing! Did you make it? And if so, could you share the pattern?
Thank you! I got that at a thrift store long ago, in the pajamas section I think. The brand tag has faded... it's a simple cami shape in black knit with black chiffon ruffles at the neckline.
