Let's make a modern twirly skirt with historical tie-on pockets (because modern pockets are a joke)

- I mean, why not add tie on pockets to every skirt?
I used vintage Vogue pattern 7444 (with some alterations) to make a modern linen twirly skirt, and added a matching pair of tie on pockets based on examples from the 18th century.
The book I reference is Patterns of Fashion 1 by Janet Arnold.
A DART in the back of the pocket bag?!!
I got frustrated last night, and after folding, pinning, trying on, re-pinning...and eventually mostly just staring at my project last night, I set it aside , backless, and went to bed.
I haven't even looked at it again yet, and here the answer is, having appeared magically.
Thank you! And wonderful timing!
This is gorgeous! I've been wearing a tie on pocket I made out of old jeans over my clothes for a couple years now, it's just so practical!
*les approval* ckracked me up! I'm sure Hazariel would love this project, and so do I!
Love your dynamic duo; pockets and skirt. It is catching on, these outside "historical pockets". Got to make them. Thanks for the video/teaching/sharing! Great job.
Exactly the styling I was wondering about - would it work? Yes, you have shown how good it looks. Thank you, thank you. Brilliant!
Thank you! It works pretty well, although I have some ideas to make the pockets go with more outfits
Love the skirt and the pockets! Oh my the pockets! I have to make these for my pocketless store bought skirts!! And jeans! Beautiful project!
I love this idea. I ride out on horseback a lot by myself and I'm always looking for pocket ideas to keep cell phone and snacks for myself and treats for the horse. I have made an edwardian split riding skirt with currently one welt pocket. The next may have this type of tie on pocket which I can tie on other loose fitting garments. I really love the contrasting hem. I may have to try that one day.
My dad, born in 1911, lived on their homestead in the North Dakota Badlands until 1920s. My Norwegian Grandma wore a split skirt, unlike most women of her day who still rode side-saddle. I'm now wondering if it was something she owned when she arrived in the States in 1908.
This looks great!
It makes me think of the victorian secret pants with a modern twist that Morgan Donner made, with all the top stitching.
I think tie on pockets make sense when you have a pair of stays to take the pressure off your waist. On then other hand, even when I set a pocket into the waistband, putting a cell phone in still drags the skirt down. But the real issue for me now is to figure out a good way of adding pockets to a dress...
You can use a little bit of tape to anchor the inner side of the pocket to the waistband or a similar place on the dress. @missjennmakes experimented with that a couple of years back on a dress without a waist seam and found that anchoring the pocket when sewing on a belt loop worked just as well. The trick is just to make the side seam take half of the weight and not all of it
I remember pocket patterns having a flange that connected to a seam or wide enough to meet the other pocket. Not having a waist seam to support them is the big problem. We used to line things frequently so fastening something like this to the lining was possible.
Thanks for sharing this video. I enjoyed watching the process involved in making this skirt and tie on pockets. Its nice to see others have a big rush of satisfaction when they finish a garment and show it off.
I have some tube and pencil skirts planned out. I've become a big fan of sepates to mix and match in the past few years. Should have my black twill gauchos finished by the end of the weekend.
Thank you!!! Separates are great- I just like versatility and styling things different ways. I’ve had my eye on a vintage gaucho pattern lately, they’re so stylish!
@@anotherdreamgonewest I wanted gauchos as a kid but that wasn't allowed by my family. My pattern is one that has knickerbockers on it. I made the knickerbockers a few years ago but only contemplated the gauchos.
One of the best things about separates and coordinates is that the wardrobe size becomes manageable and cuts down on the "I have nothing to wear" syndrome when the closet is overflowing. It allows more focus on quality garments.
Great video. Your work is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the pockets.
great job skirt looks great. if you like to make some aspects a little easier? grab some non toxic wash away paper glue stick , I use UHU glue stick (I have used this glue for over 30 years) to stick the zipper in place, while glue is still wet you can slide the zip around to get a perfect placement and when you are happy iron the area until glue sets. this will enable you to sew it in without it slipping and saves basting. thus method is great for getting your waist band situated. the good thing about using the glue is that if you are not happy and you have set it with the iron gentle ease it apart. it washes out with first wash. it is perfect for setting collars because while it is wet you can place and reposition it until happy and once you are happy with position iron until dry (it only take a few strokes of the iron) sew in place repeat the placement and slipping of your collar facing in place, iron and stitch. also brilliant way of getting shirt pockets in the place you want them. Sewing over glue can be wet or dry. great way to hem kids trousers without cutting off excess length, hem iron, wash and rehem as child grows. it is strong enough to keep jeans hemmed until washing if and when needed.
This is genius! Thank you so much for sharing
Aw thanks!
your voice is so soothing and fits some of the sarcasm and wit so expertly, chefs kiss. The sewing and tips are very helpful too!
LOVE the pockets!
Very cute!
I love it! It makes me think about my favorite skirt silhouette with 18c pockets! The inspiration you've dropped here is super exciting!
Interesting. At first I thought the pockets were attached to the skirt, from the picture. But being detached they are more versatile. I really like how it looks.
Love this!
It looks fabulous and it's practical as well. Brilliant
Very pretty 😀
I love everything about this project. And it's so adorable on you!
Oh wow what a nice skirt 😊 and a very pretty colour too.
I might have gone ovef the top with the top stitching myself, I LOVE top stitching.... especially with contrasting thread colour!
Thank you! It was nice to film a color that actually came through true on screen 😁
I love top stitching too, and it takes a lot of squinting and tea breaks to force myself to edit, haha.
Wonderful!
Very nice!
Excellent!
I like the finished product. Curious about the zipper setting. Did you do it like a separated zipper? And if so how were you able to close the rest of the garment without leaving a gap. The video was very fast at that point,maybe I didn't pay close attention to that detail . Loved the garment.
That s fun. Keep inspiring.
Thank you!
You are so good at your sewing. I love it! So gorgeously made for a pretty girlfriend.
❤
with the separate tie on pocket concept pockets were...
They are bags. just bags. Belt bags, specifically. So they didn't go. We just started calling them a different name.
So true. If you just call it “a bag to put stuff in” I guess they can really go anywhere.
This is genius! I love it!
I love your projects and your design sensibility! And your modern twist on tie-on pockets is oh so clever, I want to make them for all my skirts! Just pretty please... is there a chance that you can stop using the music over our voice? I like your sense of humour and wanna hear what you are saying... thank you so very much... 🦋✨
Well this is just excellent 👍❤
Loooove it
❤❤❤
Very well done
Интересно, у меня такой же похожий проект, история+современность, тоже льняная юбка с такими карманами, только вышитыми.
Invisible Fanny Pack🎉
Could this be what replaces my fannie pack?
Ha- maybe! Give it a try!
How did you finish the edges of the fabric to prevent unraveling?
The 4 long seams of the skirt were finished by pressing the seam open, then pressing each side of seam allowance under to enclose the raw edge. The top stitching secured the fold in place.. Kind of like a double felled seam.

I made a rather small one today and my mom said modern fashion isn't using them.
And that it will look like "I'm itching my butthole." 😞😞
That's the point, it's historical, not modern trash.
Haha- that’s a pretty specific observation from mom. I think most people would probably think it’s some type of purse or apron.
I would love to see what you do, and listen to what you say, but I can't because your music is too dominant. I know I'm highly sensitive, but please consider if the music is that important to you? Remember, for us it's new what you say. We haven't heard it before, like you have when you edit and maybe feel bored. I'm ok with music in the intro and the reveal, because I can turn it down without missing any good advices.
I like the subject and thanks a lot for it, but please stop to put everything on patriarchy. This is just inaccurate. There is hundreds of reasons why pockets became so tiny. The most obvious for me is besause ladies became to use throusers which lets much less space and because ladies became to use bags instead.
More over this is not because of patriarchy that women became to use throusers ! At the contrary, this is obviously just because women became to do what they wanted. In conclusion our occidental society has never been so matriarcal as today...
Again, thank you for your work.
I started watching this and you immediately make ridiculous social statements. For the sake of ending hatred and division just show the pocket.
