How to Sew a Victorian Petticoat | Tips for Making & Wearing Victorian Undergarments

Brilliant marking with graph paper 💡

hello, i love this video, and have watched it at least 4 times. one question: you mentioned pima/supima cotton, and showed a screenshot of joann’s “singer cotton fabric solids”. this does come up if your search term is pima or supima. however, the description does not include that term. also, is a bolt of this 8 or 15 yards? i want to buy a bolt! thanks for your advice. ☁️🧻🤍

Im going to try to make a petticoat from this tutorial I hope it works😭

Do you have an etsy shop? I tried to follow along but as a beginner i don’t think i can pull this off 😭

you are a great teacher...your sewing is super clean and your voice is perfect for the job !!! 
Some people use this platform as a theater stage or self therapy, and it's very annoying to watch!!!! 
Your voice is calm, your mind is focus, and you know a lot!!!!....Bravo!!!

Too pretty to be unseen! The same tucks and lace could beautifully adorn an outer garment 😍

The sewing is marvelous, the tucks are a great idea that anyone would be proud to have on a modern garment outside ! But why plastic buttons ?

Victoria fashion is not my cup of tea but I am blown away with all the details and construction quality. I’m here to learn!

thank you so much for this video!👍👍👍👍

You can buy sewing machine feet that do tucks automatically. They also have feet that do pin tucks, feed bias tapes, elastic and more. Also get a cutting mat and a rotary cutter with a quilting ruler. You can get exact straight cuts much faster than with a scissors.

Wow what a great description on what you have done. Thanks for your time and effort. Look forward to learning more.

thank you so much for this video! this has answered so many questions i've had about the finer details of petticoat construction; i now feel much more comfortable with the idea of finally finishing a petticoat i've been afraid to tackle.

So beautiful job❤

What a beautiful and outstanding petticoat. The diagonal tucks are stunning.

simple tip for gathering the fabric by hand: use a twin needle and the largest stitch length on the machine that you have. "Sew" once without thread on the side of the fabric to be gathered. Now you have two parallel lines and puncture holes at the same distance. This saves you the work of marking with a ruler and pen.

I'm obsessed with those pintucks cut on the bias!!

So much effort... I admire your resilience to tedium, and thank you for your step by step instruction!

Stunning work! So well explained.

Beautifully filmed and explained, so many fantastic tips too! The one about stacking on different size waistbands is genius.

This s an excellent instructive video .

Thank you. Your workmanship is impressive 🤩 Do you have any advice about using flannel to make a petticoat from this era. I’m wondering how wide the circumstance should be and is it still possible to gather? I will be using brushed cotton and not wool flannel. Thank you 😊

Wow the tucked bits are so beautiful 😌❤️ you have so much patients and commitment!

I love the clever way you hid the seams in the bias-cut tucked panel!

Do you find that this fabric shrinks much? I wouldn’t want to wash an entire bolt of fabric. Or do you cut off what you need and then wash it prior to sewing?

This was such a great video. I learned so much. I have a petticoat shortage and I can't wait to make some.

Such a clever way to do the diagonl tucks!

You have a lot more patience than me lol my limit is 5 tucks max

Absolutely beautiful work.

Oh that strip of diagonal tucks is 👌😍 so beautifully done!

Those diagonal tucks are absolutely delightful 😍

A perfectly timed video as I sit here with a petticoat waiting for its tucks.
