IKEA CEO: I think we need to discontinue our red floral duvet. IKEA Emplyee: Why,? It's our best seller? IKEA CEO: *closing 52 CosTuber windows* It's a little old fashioned. Love this! I can't wait for the rest!! Stay well.
Why make things easy on yourself when you can have RUFFLES? It does look very lovely though, can't wait to see the Super Secret Project that goes with this petticoat!
You are a Bad Influence! I now have one of these duvet cover & pillowcases set squirrelled away in my stash in case any of my firoends comes to me needing an 18th Century ensemble.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Dakota Kamryn thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I'm a big fan of using methods other than math to get pleats right :) Geometry rocks. ...and I totally understand having projects follow you home, I went in to Fabricland for purple dye to celebrate the completion of my first handsewn shirt and a hundred and sixty bucks later... but I now have silk and cotton and velvet! ...ask how much of that I've used so far... you'll get broken eye-contact and a shrug...
It's so beautiful! I'm working on stays (by which I mean I cut them out, realized the fabric will fray if I look at it wrong, and am now waiting for Fray Check to arrive) and a pair of pockets currently.
The petticoat is very beautiful and very informative ty for sharing on how to make this. Good I want to see how to make my own apron and one of those hats too
It would be lovely to see you do the sewing on projects , as it may help to follow along , when you just talk through your videos it’s harder to keep up
I was trying to make this a super quick project, and you wouldn't believe how much time it takes to set up the camera in a new angle every time I go to sew! I'll try to show some sewing on future videos, though.
Ikea is closer to being on grain than Joann Fabrics usually is when they're cutting fabric, sadly! Love the way it turned out, especially how the ruffle came out!
oh I love this. I have an ikea duvet cover with a really similar print that I have put aside to make something from. I think this is the project! and I love the zigzag edge 😄
This is exactly the style of skirt I want to make for myself for everyday wear - having wrap around ties means no need for a zip or other fastenings. (A mid calf version thought but with no ruffles.) I've had in my mind to make for quite a while now, it's just a case of getting the material.
I love that idea! The wrap around ties make things super adjustable, too. If you wind up making it and you share a pic on instagram, please tag me -- I'd love to see it.
This is essentially what I did for my wedding. In addition, I also made an overskirt to add more layering and oomph to go with fake panniers. I wanted to simulate a robe à la française...not there yet.
Thank you for this video! Along with the American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking, the video will help me when it comes time to make my petticoat/skirt for my 18th century project. --Lyssa WA, USA
I love the ruffle's edging. I'm going to try that on my next 18th Century item. Come to the Colonial Festival in August and show me. I've made several silk market bonnets and they are not hard. Just get good buckram. Every thing turned out great!
ok, we have that duvet cover. Ah ha, kind of distracting. Lovely print, I will admit, and now I'm wanting to try some made modern abstract petticoat with an Ikea duvet cover, should I ever get back into one.
Thank you! I think dagging is mostly decorative, though the pinking is actually functional to prevent fraying. As far as shears go, I really do like my ginghers, since they do a great job at the actual cutting, but if you're doing this much cutting, they are quite rough on your hands. These are the ones I have: www.amazon.com/dp/B000MWXPKI/?tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic5&ascsubtag=amzn1.infl.us.product&creativeASIN=B000MWXPKI&ref=exp_ladyrebeccafashions_dp_vv_d
Yours turned out so well. I used a bed spread from Asda and it was terrible quality so it turned out a little see through (video on my channel). I need to add a ruffle on mine though, it was such a lovely addition to yours!
I have to admit that I've never tried fork pleats. But what happens if the area you need to pleat is not exactly divisible by the size of the fork? Then you'd still need to adjust the pleats anyway, right?
another lovely video rebecca! What pattern/reference did you use for the stays you were wearing? They look pretty exactly like what I want, and I've been humming and haaaing about which style to make. I think we're also pretty similar in proportion, and you look absolutely lovely in them, which gives me a little bit of a boost to want to try
Thank you! These stays were actually made from Designs from Time www.designsfromtime.com and I'm not positive what pattern she uses, but they're pretty comfortable!
33:05 😂🙈 I know that problem. That’s so ☠️👽😈…. I write a shopping list, hold it tightly in my hand and repeat what I want to buy like a mantra. I don't get involved in any conversation, try to put on eye patches and leave the store after 5-10 minutes. It's like an addict in Candyland 😂🤦♀️🤷♀️
I am not that great with stitch terminology but I believe that is called a “3 step zig zag”. I used it a lot when I would sew elastic into cloth diapers and that is what the diaper sewing groups called it!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions When I learned to sew many, many years ago, it was referred to as serpentine, but 3 step zig zag is nicely descriptive, and differentiates it from the regular zig zag.
Love that you used bedding. My shower curtain would already be a dress if it were big enough. Will the edges of the ruffle fray when you wash your petticoat? I had never heard the term dag, so I learned something new. I have a curvey blade for my rotary cutter....I wonder how that would work vs the pinking shears... Anyway loved the project!
I don't think you could use the rotary blade for dagging because of all the little tight corners, but it would certainly work if you just wanted to give it scalloped edges. Pinking does a great job at preventing fraying - the pinking itself will become less defined, but you can throw it in the washer/dryer, and it still won't fray!

Hahaha! That's so good. :)
I just want to say I really appreciate that you explain the different terminology for those of us who have no clue 😅

Hahah, right? And thank you - hopefully I'll be able to share it sometime next month!

Thank you! Good luck with your stays - that fabric sounds like a real pain!

I bought two duvet sets to make a 18th century gown...liked the print so much I kept one to put on my bed.
That's great! I have an 18th c print Ikea duvet on my bed, too. Not this one, though. :)

A ruffle makes everything better. Absolutely worth the extra time and effort. ❤️❤️
Thanks! I think so too!
I made a shift and a banyon from a duvet cover and a bed sheet (by hand) . It's rather lovely to wear around the house....
Ikea is closer to being on grain than Joann Fabrics usually is when they're cutting fabric, sadly! Love the way it turned out, especially how the ruffle came out!
Sadly, I think you're right about that! And thanks!
Yes, this is very helpful! Its almost like you knew that I had gotten an ikea duvet cover.... XD .
I'm glad it was helpful! Which one did you get?
You make the construction of it look so easy. Thank you for sharing your time doing this. Sending lots of well wishes xo
Thank you! It actually is quite easy - it's honestly just the ruffle where it gets complicated.
oh I love this. I have an ikea duvet cover with a really similar print that I have put aside to make something from. I think this is the project! and I love the zigzag edge 😄
Nice! Good luck on your petticoat! :)
Love the print 😍
It was just begging for a makeover.
Great job.
Thank you! 😊
Watching this again now that I know what it's for 😍
The secret has been revealed! ;)
I adore that blouse you’re wearing
"If you want to do things floofy and more time consuming put a ruffle on your petticoat." I feel called out. 😅🙈
I am a pro at making things more time consuming. ;)
This is exactly the style of skirt I want to make for myself for everyday wear - having wrap around ties means no need for a zip or other fastenings. (A mid calf version thought but with no ruffles.) I've had in my mind to make for quite a while now, it's just a case of getting the material.
Yep, definitely a case of 'delightful, I'll take 5'!
I love that idea! The wrap around ties make things super adjustable, too. If you wind up making it and you share a pic on instagram, please tag me -- I'd love to see it.
Totally agree. After I made my first petticoat I vowed never to sew a zipper into a skirt again. Plus pockets without having to see pockets!!!
Gorgeous fabric! Love how it turned out. The dagging was worth it!!
Thank you! I think it was worth it too. :)
great , i loved this video and your earrings , those are so pretty , i learned a lot from this video
I love your petticoat!!! It looks great with that Ikea fabric. ♥️♥️♥️
This is essentially what I did for my wedding. In addition, I also made an overskirt to add more layering and oomph to go with fake panniers. I wanted to simulate a robe à la française...not there yet.
I've never actually made a Robe a la Francaise either! I feel like I have to at some point, like a right of passage.

All the ruffles. All the floof. 😍
Right? The floofier the better. :)
Wow I love the no. 4 zigzag. So pretty!
Yeah, and very functional, too!
I love the ruffle's edging. I'm going to try that on my next 18th Century item. Come to the Colonial Festival in August and show me. I've made several silk market bonnets and they are not hard. Just get good buckram. Every thing turned out great!
Thanks! I hope to make it out there again. I haven't been since 2018.
Hi, love this video and am currently making the same thing!
Def. a challenge to watch that video while seamripping something you shouldn't rip!! 😅
ok, we have that duvet cover. Ah ha, kind of distracting. Lovely print, I will admit, and now I'm wanting to try some made modern abstract petticoat with an Ikea duvet cover, should I ever get back into one.
You could totally make a modern skirt, too!
I love this petticoat! It's so pretty! What exactly is the purpose of dagging and what do recommend for a good brand of pinking shears?

Yours turned out so well. I used a bed spread from Asda and it was terrible quality so it turned out a little see through (video on my channel). I need to add a ruffle on mine though, it was such a lovely addition to yours!
Ah, yeah, you definitely have to start with good quality fabric!
After the front box pleat, I did fork pleats. I found eyeballing too frustrating.
I have to admit that I've never tried fork pleats. But what happens if the area you need to pleat is not exactly divisible by the size of the fork? Then you'd still need to adjust the pleats anyway, right?
Really like that print!
I wish Ikea still carried it!

Satisfying sound unless you happen to be wearing the garment at the time.
May I ask if the "super secret" project has been finished, with a link? Not sure how to find it on your channel.
It is! It's the Amalia bodice that goes with this. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/8KyOO1Se38Y/w-d-xo.html

For a petticoat could we use a cordelet/ruban instead of pleating both sides? Wouldn’t it be an easier way this way?
To be honest, I'm not familiar with anything called cordelet or ruban, so no idea.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions ribbon or lace lol wrote to you in French sorry
Love it!
Thanks!
I like a shorter length for easier walking. It's modernizing edwardian/victorian fashion for today's romantic lady.
Definitely. And honestly, in most eras, walking skirts were a lot shorter!
I have seen my mom rip fabric. Never tried it myself. Makes me nervous
It saves so much time if you're trying to get things on grain!

I just realized that she is Lady Jane because she has no head. (If I am wrong....)
You're exactly right! My other form is Antoinette, and I have a small one named Charlotte as well. All headless ladies. :)
❤❤❤❤
38:18 pretty sure that is a step zigzag.
Ah, good to know! Thanks!
How many petticoats did working women wear?
At least 2-3.
So using an Ikea Duvet isn't historical accurate?? 😱
Historically adequate works for me.
