How to Make an Easy 18th Century Petticoat out of an Ikea Duvet

I'm returning to 18th Century sewing! The 18th c was one of my first costuming loves, and I made a bunch of it years ago, but haven't made any since at least 2015. So I'm easing my way back in with an easy project -- upcycling an Ikea duvet cover into a petticoat! This petticoat is an easy project, which can be made slightly more difficult by adding a ruffle. I go over all the steps in this video, from finding your grain, cutting your pieces, pleating, etc.
Are you making any 18th c projects? Let me know in the comments!

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!

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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

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.

@aliloucreations1817 3 года назад

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

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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.

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 3 года назад

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...

@darklymoonlit 3 года назад

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.

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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

@JordannMHall 3 года назад

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!

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

Sadly, I think you're right about that! And thanks!

I bought two duvet sets to make a 18th century gown...liked the print so much I kept one to put on my bed.

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

I'm glad it was helpful! Which one did you get?

@angelaplatts 3 года назад

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.

@Nessi-dances 3 года назад

Yep, definitely a case of 'delightful, I'll take 5'!

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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.

@emilysmith2784 3 года назад

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!!!

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 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.

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

You could totally make a modern skirt, too!

@emilysmith2784 3 года назад

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!

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

Ah, yeah, you definitely have to start with good quality fabric!

@abbynormal8608 3 года назад

Satisfying sound unless you happen to be wearing the garment at the time.

@TealCheetah 3 года назад

After the front box pleat, I did fork pleats. I found eyeballing too frustrating.

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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?

@KimHazer 3 года назад

@mokanger97 3 года назад

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

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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!

@tappingtechie08 3 года назад

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?

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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

@hedgerow.homestead 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

Thanks!

@23Datcat 3 года назад

@@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.

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!

@marie-joselandry7195 2 года назад

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.

@terrifoster2089 3 года назад

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!

@LadyRebeccaFashions 3 года назад

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!
