Thank you, I feel a bit better. At present I feel absolutely confused by the word "altogether". Such a simple word but it can turn a perfectly clear instruction into a puzzle!
Hello. I'm happy you like my underskirt. Unfortunately, without starching it sticks to my cotton stockings. I wonder how wool flannel is different. I decided to use cotton flannel because it was available and I can't wear wool as underwear as it irritates my skin. Have you used wool flannel?
@@APenchantforSewing I have used wool flannel I purchase mine from sources like Burnley and Trowbridge they currently have a light weight one that I tend to favour! I find it tends to not stick if you make it a short underskirt and have your drawers or combinations to the same length.
Great! After wearing the petticoat for a few days there are some things I would consider if I wanted to make another one. I wouldn't make the placket so wide and I would have it open the other way because it's rather difficult to do the buttons. There are so many things you only realise after you've completed and worn a garment for a while.
I have my hot tea, my cuddly kitten, and your sewing video. My afternoon is complete bliss😍 After your video I plan to overcast the edges of some flannel and quilting cotton I bought recently. I do that before pre washing. I have a cream flannel with a pink and purple floral print, and a mid-toned warm purple cotton with a dark purple and mustard floral print. It’ll be made into a reversible shawl for an older friend of mine. That petticoat fits you to a T!
Oh, I often think about overcasting the edges before prewash but I simply have no patience. It's actually quite exciting to hear what time of day it is in other parts of the world when I post a video.
Recently found your channel and have been enjoying the detailed descriptions and precise stitching in your videos. You make lovely garments! Thank you for sharing your process and finished items.
I'm going to make a fancy petticoat with lots of lace and ruffles from a very lightweight fabric. Flannel is to thick and heavy for ruffles. I actually made this flannel petticoat to be worn under the fancy one to keep me warm.
A lovely well presented video,I get your notification early on a Tuesday morning,and then like a secret treasure I wait until family goes to work and then I'm set to watch your lovely made with love researched and hand sewn clothing.finally plakets clearly explained.thank you for brightening our day.
Researching was a lot of fun. I invented a new stitch when I tried to follow instructions for the catch-stitch in one book. There was only text, no pictures at all. I often wonder if native English speakers understand 120 year old instructions. Oh, the placket! And again the instructions were so confusing! Looking back I just laugh, but when the instructions to the skirt said "measure off two straight lenghts" for the back gore, I tried to google what special English measurement a straight lenght is. Ha ha!
All those tiny stitches...it's very impressive. I am a perfectionist too and it's very satisfying to see how you work. Can I ask you how long you worked on this petticoat and why you do it all by hand? :)
I can't tell you how much time it took me to make it because I wasn't feeling well, so I could work very little on it every day. Understandig the instructions took the longest. I'd say it's a five day project. Embroidering it took maybe 10 hours. Possibly more. I usually need 8-10 days for a walking skirt. But I am an incredibly slow person. I handstitch because it's very easy. I mean, you only need a needle and thread and can do it in the park if you feel like. It also gives you a lot different view on what you're capable of, what the human hand is capable of, and what people before you were capable of. I admire the human hand. Machines make me nervous. I'm not good at machine sewing at all, and I don't need the frustration I get from it.
@@APenchantforSewing Ah ok. Thank you for answering :) I really love handsewing too because you just have more control over the process and you get to build a relationship with the garment. You are right it is a great feeling to know that you can make a beautiful piece of clothing just with your hands and needle and thread. :)
Wow those stitches!!!🎉
A pleasure to watch a true artisan at work. Thank you for sharing your skills in such an appealing way.
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Your videos are always of such good quality, thank you for the great content!
Thank you!
Very nice. I'm American, and I find the clothes drafting books hard to understand, too.
Thank you, I feel a bit better. At present I feel absolutely confused by the word "altogether". Such a simple word but it can turn a perfectly clear instruction into a puzzle!
Superb job. Looks lovely. I will have to try out those pattern recommendations for my next petticoat. The father stitching is beautifully done. 😍
Thanks. Using contemporary books is so much fun.
The feather stitching added just the right finish to a cozy petticoat
I might add some more embroidery but I wanted to use it so.
Oh yay! Finally someone makes a flannel underskirt like what they wore in the period! You earned a new subscriber

You do such beautiful work. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Tnank you!
I just bought fabric to make a flannel petticoat and I'm so glad I found this video to help me understand how to make one! Thank you so much :D

It turned out nicely!

I think a ruffle at the hem would be nice, but even without it is very cute petticoat
