Have you been thinking about sewing an 18th century wardrobe (or a history bounding one)? Are you getting into hand sewing? Join us for our Historical Sew Along Series!
Our second Sew Along is Petticoats! Petticoat was the common term used for what we would call a skirt today! There were underpetticoats (like a half-slip) and fashion petticoats. They were worn under gowns or as separate garments with a jacket or other upper garment. They were made of wool, linen, silk, cotton and some blends. This is a great project for your first 18th century garment with easy stitches and fit.
Use our hashtag #showyourpetticoats and tag us in social media!
