It looks really good, the whole outfit looks lovely :)
Thank you!
Im making a couple of Victorian aprons atm, one with pin tucks already done for me. Thrifted quilt covers are Gods own special gift to us costumers. In the 1980's and 90's heavily cotton embroidered ones with matching deep flounced lace and eyelet trims were very common, and when i started doing this over 20 years ago - these lace quilt covers were quite common. However now, I think our costume guild and historical costumers have all but exhausted the supply over the years as I have not had a good find in ages. I have some stunning Victorian underskirts and blouses as a result, but Ive never seen a lovely plaid like this. So pretty. Lovely video to go to bed on 🙂
Thank you! Yes, it's definitely hard to find nice sheets these days at the thrift stores, but every now and then something turns up!
YT Aldo rhythm sucks!
I had to search for this video! I'm leaving a big comment and sharing it to try to get your channel some more views!
I love you showing us how to use sheets to make wearable skirts!
❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️
A trick I learned years and years ago for gathering .cut a piece of string or cotton yarn t and using a wide zigzag stich sew it along the top border of your skirt. Then simply pull the string evenly from both sides to required measurement. No broken stitches, no frustration.
Smart!
I have several top sheets that I have saved for other projects (crocheted rugs). Unfortunately the colors and the prints are not something I would wear.
Love the simplicity of the skirt!
♥️👍🤓
I use the same method for petticoats too!
Thank you.....btw, you look fabulous!
Thank you so much!
Looks great! I'm making a fantasy/ren faire style "corset" top soon! I'm glad your back is better!
Nice! ❤️❤️
Great job!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Very nice tutorial on a useful petticoat! Old bedsheets are definitely a favorite of mine. My family loves finding them for me and then seeing what they’re turned into. As for projects, I am kind of doing the opposite of “quick and easy” by hand sewing a fully boned pair of stays for my mother. I am thankful the backstitch is my favorite stitch since I have a lot of that in my future lol
That's a big project! Best of luck with all your hand sewing!
Wow girl you look great and beautiful! I love sewing with thrifted fabrics. Happy to see a video from you today ❤✨🍂🍁🍂
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Looks fabulous. Perfect timing. Whitby goth weekend is coming up at the end of october. And I am needing outfits. I've lost weight and dont have time to work out how to alter previous costumes. Quick and simple this year with fun fabrics.
Thank you! I'm kind of in that spot too. Haven't lost enough to require new corsets yet, but they're closing all the way now without much gap. I'm waiting to do any serious altering of costumes.
Sort of what I'm doing. No corsets though. Have figured out that corsets and wheelchairs are too uncomfortable and have a habit of riding up. So simple easy to take in costumes for the fore see able. Fun fabrics for interest. History bounding instead of historically adequate. 😀
OMG thank you for the gathering tip. All of my attempts prior to this were failures.
Muito bonito esse trabalho! Ficou perfeita a saia em você, gostei!
Thank you so much!
It turned out fabulous! 😍Well done! I'm gonna keep my eyes out for sheets at the thrift store!
Yay! Thank you!
no, there are no easy sewing projects in my future, I'm working on a party blouse from 1886, I'm going to sew a winter jacket and a Christmas dress, where I'll make the pattern myself, something completely new. but I'm looking forward to all parts
You are looking beautiful in your new skirt ❤
Thank you! Your projects sound great!
😃
So very pretty!! Thank you for sharing, it´s always such a pleasure to see you smiling and twirling! :)
I need to make some Pettycoats to wear under my wool skirts in winter, will probably be using this one, or a similar, easy pattern.
Thank you! 😊I've made lots of petticoats this way.
OH I love the skirt so pretty, I ll try to make one for me, let you know how it went , kind regards from Holland
Thank you! Best of luck with your skirt!
Love the technique! How many yards do you recommend if you are not using a sheet?
That depends on the width of your fabric and desired length. 2.25-2.5 yards should be plenty in a 50-60 inch wide fabric. If you use a narrower width fabric, you might want three panels with the closure at center back, so 3.25-3.5 yards.
thanks so much! If I were to want more fullness and gathering, would I just add more rectangular panels to the skirt?
Yes! But, depending on your waist measurement, your gathers may need to be very dense to fit a smaller waist measurement.
@PocketFullofPoseys thank you so much! I'm on the heavier side so /hopefully/ it shouldn't be too troublesome.
