I know that a lot of the fashionable skirts in the later Victorian period are cut with massive gores but I have to imagine that this would’ve been a very practical option for women of more humble means and that we just don’t see a lot of them because they were worn and worn out
I would assume that this is the case. On might have had one "fancy" skirt for special occasions, but for the rest this kind of skirt might have been worn and recycled many times.
They also pieced fabric as needed, especially on the rear gores, and where the fashion fabric wasn't visible, it was replaced with plain, inexpensive fabric. Skirt tops that are hidden by a swagged bodice are often plain cotton.
I have seen a cutting diagram from this era described as a housemaids skirt where after cutting the front panel on fold, you take the remaining length of fabric and by cutting it through on an almost diagonal you get two gores, top and tailed. This would only work on fabric with no nap, but very effective in getting the fashionable silhouette and least bulk of fabric on the waist and very little fabric wastage.
Only 2 metres of fabric! Madness! This is very good news to help me with my stash. I also really like your neat and precise hand stitching. Such precision fills me with joy.
Your finished skirt is lovely! Thank you for showing that you had to "unsew" in a few places. I'm thrilled you used your treadle machine to sew this, showing that these old machines are still capable of sewing beautiful stitches. I adore my treadles and hand crank machines after discovering how easy they are to operate!
Thank you! Especially for letting me know, what you liked about the video. That helps me a lot since I'm often wondering if I should include my "mistakes" or not. Those ols machines are so simple to use and maintain. I do almost all my sewing on this machine now.
Those are great ideas! I will have to sort the fabrics by material, since there is from linen to silk almost everything at hand, but maybe it's still enough to make a garment out of them.
@@stevezytveld6585 I have immediately a version of the crazy hatmaker in mind. This could be a really fun fantasy project with some historical aspects! Thank you so much for the input. 😊
Skirts of this period were worn with a bum pad, so had extra gathering at the back, to allow for this. Hence, less gathering at the front, and more at the back. The skirt still looks fantastic, and a great use of the limited amount of fabric that you had.
That's true, and I'm wearing the bum pad I made underneath the skirt. It definitely helps, but it isn't enough... I might have to make a bigger one but then I'm not sure if the weight of the skirt would crush it.
Der Rock ist echt toll geworden! 😍🙌 Wer hätte gedacht, dass ein so simpler Schnitt auch für edwardianische Röcke funktioniert! Und ich bewundere dich echt für deine Video skills! Die werden mit jedem Video besser!! 👌

Tops, T-shirts? Patchwork? Gift wraps - Furoshiki in Japanese. Doll garments? Fabric items of use around the house: cushion covers, book covers, boxes, drawer linings, small window curtains? Chair cushions, or chair seat covers? Mix and match for garments, obviously. 😊
OK, just to start with - those sample fabrics are Beautiful. If you have some wool and some cotton you could make yourself the most beautiful sewing hams. The skirt is Devine. It's so lovely, well done. I think the walking skirts just tend to have a dropping problem in the back. A diamond-pointed fabric belt would look amazing with the skirt. Looking forward to what you come up with. As always, beautiful video. Thank you. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
That's the reason, I still have them in my stash. Most of the fabrics are just too beautiful to be thrown away... Unfortunately, there is no wool in my stash, but making a sewing ham is a great idea too! The skirt is quite heavy at the back, so yes it is most likely a dropping problem. I had a pointed belt in mind, too. :) Thank you very much for your comments!
@@ankanyofficial You had a hand in making those fabric designs. Use them, I figure. You could make your own sewing kit with some of them (ham, needlebook storage, 17th century sewing pocket, scissor sheathe, some more pattern weights - yours are very cute, by-the-by,...). If you ever decide to do a Patreon you could offer up patterns for sewing equipment as one of your 'gives'? And? Happy to comment. You give good conversation and I love batting ideas around.
Thank you! Creating fabrics is really a passion of mine, but sleeping right now. Those are all really great ideas! Especially combining it with a potential Patreon "give", I always thought that I wouldn't be able to provide anything for that. Batting ideas around is an interesting expression. I will add this to my vocabulary. Thanks for doing so!
@@ankanyofficial Hey Lady/Human, I just had a passing thought. Now that you have the walking skirt, you need the next step in the Bernadette video process - a vest, drafted with the Keystone Guide to Cutting & Tailoring. You could use your samples for both the fashion fabric and the lining. You could also 'quilt' the samples together to make a lining for an eventual jacket to finish the 'mob boss' 3 piece skirt suit?
@@stevezytveld6585 😂 That's true! I thought I will first make a blouse, so that I have something to wear under a vest. But a vest is definitely a project to come. I love your Idea of quilting the lining out of my samples!
You did a great job on the skirt. It makes me want to try my hand at making one like yours. I have that book too and often find the instructions frustrating and confusing.
I feel you! I was more than confused by these instructions, but at some point I decided to just give it a try. In the end, at least this skirt, wasn't that difficult. I can recommend trying it.
I own three books with patterns from the voice of fashion including the one used in this video, and the book with patterns from 1900-1905 explains the scaling system used in the voice of fashion. (hence the "use the scale corresponding with the bust measure" things) The author and their husband worked together to research and calculate these scales and based on their research the scales they used have remained the same throughout the history of the magazine. The same goes for the proportions. The patterns generally have these proportions: the bust will be 10 inches bigger than the waist, and the hips will be 15 inches bigger than the waist (these can be slightly off but are easy to adjust). it becomes soooooooo much easier with the scales instead of having to self draft and calculate. I'd definitely recommend the book "The voice of fashion" with the patterns from 1900-1905 even if it's not your style because it contains a ton of information about the scales and drafting system. ever since I bought that one my experience with those patterns has become so pleasant and pretty easy. Cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you so much! I searched the book, and it was already in my wishlist, so I will definitely buy it soon. I am really curious to learn more about the scaling systems used. I was really wondering what I am missing, but this makes a lot of sense now.
the skirt is quite nice! I think the gathering ended up too big because the scaling wasn't right. The standard patterns aren't in inches ( i assume that's where you got the 153 cm from) to put it simply i draft my skirts with a 26 inch waist (66cm) So I have to scale the pattern to the 26 inch. I calculated the scale for my waist and it is 2.1, that means the 60 1/4 for the width should be multiplied by 2.1 in order for it to be proportionate to my waist. So I'll have 126.5cm for half of the skirt width. times two (because it's cut double) I end up with 253cm which is realistic to gather to a 26 inch waistband. I hope this makes sense in any way.
Yes, after reading multiple times, it makes sense now. :D I will definitely buy the book Voice of Fashion in order to be able to calculate my scale. I assume, you calculated the scaling with its help?
@@ankanyofficial yes, and they actually even provide rulers that you can copy so you don't have to calculate. I have yet to make the rulers but I'm sure they'll make the process even easier. So it's definitely worthy checking out
@@saywhatnow5507 I read about the rulers in the description, and I am really curious to see them. I found a second-hand copy of the book and ordered it, so I might be able to use it soon.
Thank you. I have 2 metres of a check wool, intended for a different project but I think I will get more wear from a skirt, and was wondering how to get a walking skirt out of it. It helps that with a waistband I only need a length of 87cm so will have some left over. Instead of gathers though I think I will try pleating at the waistband [being short and ''plus'' size gathers don't look good on me]. Now I know that I can make a skirt from this amount of fabric and with 2 seams will have one that is 3m diametre at the hemline.
I'm happy to hear, that my video helped you! In hindsight, I would recommend working pleats instead of gatherings, since the gatherings add a lot of volume.
if there are linens or cottons in that stash around a metre, why not just make yourself some house skirts or perhaps an apron or two? i know with my size i can get away with a yard by cutting in panels. it’s perhaps more modern than your preferences but you could always colour block (tone-on-tone or feature patterned panels?) or use some of the small swatches as tie on or patch pockets. or as facing pieces… or cut them into bias tape for hong kong finishes?
Thank you for those many ideas! Most of the fabrics are some fancy material, so I'm a little weary using them. But for the natural fiber ones, I will definitely start making some smaller projects.
Dankeschön! Das Buch heißt "Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns" und ich habe es auf Amazon gekauft. Ich kann aber empfehlen das Buch "Voice of Fashion" dazuzukaufen, denn das hat die richtigen Skalierungssysteme angegeben.
Sure, the piece of wood is called a clapper, and basically one presses it onto the still hot seam, so that the moisture leaves the fabric, and it cools down while still pressing it. Fibers usually tend to go back to their previous position while in a moist and hot state, once cool and dry, they lose this ability. This way, the seams stay sharper for longer. I hope that made it clear. :)
@@ankanyofficial what a fantastic explanation! Clear and concise, yet full of information- big applause, and thumbs way up! Thanks for taking the time to explain!
I used the book "Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns" by Kristina Harris, but one needs the book "The Voice of Fashion" too, in order to have the correct scaling system.
Thank you! I found it on eBay, but the seller hasn't one anymore. If you are German based, looking for "Besenborte" can help, but it's rather unusual to get nowadays. Right now, I don't have a reliable source here in Germany.
They are weights holding the fabric in place without the need of pricking needles through the fabric in order to secure the pattern. And no, I didn't make them. They were a gift.
@@ankanyofficial Going through email today, I came across the notification for this and clicked to see what it was. Oh! bonbons! Having completely forgotten about these (but apparently in my subconscious), I started crocheting pattern paper weights. The patter paper blows around under the ceiling fan, and I also don't like all the pin holes in the thin paper. (Probably got that idea from you also.) Thank you for your ideas. My sewing teacher makes faces like my husband which I interpret, "Why does she (me) have to be difficult and against the grain? Why can't she do things like it's always been done?" My thinking is that their thinking is flawed. Just because one person thought of an idea (which changed how something had been done for a very long time previously) and most went with it, doesn't mean we can't change how things are done again. Some of the ladies in the class have been accepting my gifts of sets of weights, including the teacher!
