Last week in my quest to make a full 18th-century ensemble I started with me undies (aka a chemise or shift). This week, I’m tackling the skirt or petticoat from the 8161 American Duchess for Simplicity pattern.
Along the way, I realized you can transform it the combo of shift and petticoat into a surprisingly cute historybounding and/or hobbit ensemble. Watch out Rosie, I’m coming for your man (Hobbit?).
Follow along as I add to my army of bedsheet based historical and historical inspired outfits in my quest to equip my self in Outlander regalia for my 30th birthday camping trip.
Watch the series: • American Duchess for S...
Next up on my historbounding to-do list is sewing the accompanying American Duchess for Simplicity bodice and stomacher from pattern 8161. And eventually, once I get the courage the stays/corset from the 8162 pattern.

i never thought of wearing this type of skirt as a dress. very clever!

@ZhovtoBlakytniy 3 года назад

I made this skirt and wear it often as everyday clothing. I like the hobbit dress idea! Kinda reminds me of a Russian folk sarafan.

@katencat 3 года назад

It is a surprisingly flexible garment! I think you might have stubbled upon a genius project idea an embroidered skirt/traditional sarafan.

*facepalm* How did I not think about making one of my petticoats into a dress with shoulder straps???? It's so obvious. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Aaaaanyways, thank you for sharing this new Historybounding technique with all of us. 😁❤️👍🏻

@surrenderlotusfeet7119 Год назад

🙏🌹 Thank you. And what a surprise to see it make a shoulder strap dress too...

Ooooh I love this! I love the skirt so much! Editied to add that I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses their bed as a craft table. And your cat is adorable and majestic!

Haha Julian is pretty majestic isn't he! Glad you like the skirt. It's sooo cozy. And bed craft tables are the only way to go. :)

I was just browsing through tutorials on 18th century petticoats because I got stuck while sewing mine and when I turned on your video I was immediately caught. It's so pleasant to watch, well-balanced, interesting. Thank you for sharing it, I can't wait to see other parts of the outfit.

@katencat 4 года назад

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. This project was really fun to make (as was the video). Good luck on your petticoats!

@danhurl1349 2 года назад

Ok the minute you showed you using it as a dress, I had for try it. Why is this outfit the best thing I have ever seen? I feel like an Ancient Greek peasant. I used my matching 18th century pocket as the belt and it’s really working for me. The family is going to think I’m insane lol. I love ir

I always look forward to your videos! The audio is always well-balanced, your music is well-chosen, and for some reason I generally end up working on similar projects whilst I watch! XD

@katencat 4 года назад

So glad you're enjoying the videos! There is something lovely about sewing along to RU-vid videos. It's fun to see what everyone is working on.

@ReinaElizondo 4 года назад

I like your content. You're hilarious. This skirt turned out lovely! I'd never guess it was from a bed sheet.

@katencat 4 года назад

Thanks! I was honestly surprised how nice the skirt turned out because the bed sheet had truly seen better days.

@tasha8591 Год назад

Doubling the skirt as a dress is pretty brilliant, ngl.

@kirstinturney8697 4 года назад

That looks amazing. I love the way it flows around. Very Outlander! 🤗

@historianhilly 3 года назад

Annoyed that Im JUST discovering you! Beautiful fabric and nice choice of fabric!

@katencat 3 года назад

Thanks! The funny part is that the fabric is just an old sheet that we had in our car, but it's sooo perfect for this skirt!

I'm sewing this pattern right now, and I too have a gray kitty who lays on all my pattern pieces! Great tutorial and kitty footage :)

I'm *very* new to historybounding/historical fashion.... so I had no idea about WAIST TAPES?!?!?!? As a plus-size person, I've been trying to figure out what to do with the waist, because I'm trying to get healthier/fitter than body is now.... so I'm expecting there might be weight loss? Anyway, I've been working with elastic.... but its not historically accurate and I personally don't always want them in my historical skirts? BUT WAIST TIES?!?!? THANK YOU 18th century!!!!! I'll try and do some deeper dives while studying (I'm sure this was a no brainer for historical fashion, but pls keep in mind I am a newbie to this, and only hope to improve with practice :) )

@danhurl1349 2 года назад

I LOVE WAIST TIES. I’m not plus-sized but my weight tends to fluctuate quite a bit so I love adjustable clothing. The waist tied are the best part, plus it means you have slits in the sides which mean you can wear massive 18th century pockets underneath, which is always a plus

Newly subscribed, love your content! Might I encourage you to consider a treadle sewing machine? I guarantee that once you've learned to sew on a treadle, you'll never use your modern sewing machine again

Etude In your blouse-in your skirt in classic romance, Your experience tears in the silk of your shawl, Your tone in the waving manners of your skirt, Flooding muliebrity in moral beauty. Your source is cozy warmth in your heart, Your sea basin with accompanying passion, Swishing your gliding walk in posture, In length of waterfall flooding the depth. Surrounded by protection of current of your sea, By timeless feature of cordial attitude, It’s color with hot storm roaring embrace, Enchanting infinity in the world of your loyalty. It’s material in salient charm of your bosoms, In changing relation in windy occasion, Feeling your custom evokes you in several ways, In humble romance of your profound beauty.

So jealous of your impending greys! I turned 30 and still light brown hair -_-

@katencat 3 года назад

I had a minor freak out when I turned 28 and found my first grey. But now it's my lil buddy. I only have the one so far, but hopefully you'll get a lil grey hair buddy too!

@murdocthedestroyer 3 года назад

I hope so too!

@rebeccaharden6018 3 года назад

I love the shirt you had on in the hay bales! What pattern was it if you sewed it.

@katencat 3 года назад

Thanks! That one is actually just a costume shirt that I borrowed from my mom. I think she found it at a Goodwill?

@kellymartin8261 4 года назад

I love it! Do you think this pattern would be too difficult for a novice in sewing?

@katencat 4 года назад

Yay! Glad you like it. The skirt is super simple. The pleats are probably the hardest part. I'm a bit of a novice myself so go for it! I'm working on the bodice now and it's a bit trickier but do-able.

@sarar4901 4 года назад

Do you find that the drawstrings stay put well when not worn over stays? I attempted a similar pleated skirt recently for history bounding, but I chickened out on the ties. I was afraid they would move around too much and either show or be uncomfortable.

@katencat 4 года назад

You probably made the right call! They're comfortable, since I have the shift underneath. But one, or both, always tend to peek out after I've worn the skirt for a minute or two. But maybe the bodice would cover up any exposed ties?

@sarar4901 4 года назад

@@katencat Ah ha! Thank you for confirming my suspicions. At the moment I mostly wear skirts over tucked-in button-downs, so I wouldn't have any cover. Perhaps if I eventually get to the point of making a matching bodice (or stays) I will experiment with the ties.
