We're heading back into the 18th century in this video. When I originally bought this queen-size cotton duvet set from Ikea I wanted to color the black and white print with fabric markers but when that proved too tedious it sat away in my stash for over a year until now! In my ongoing attempt at stashbusting I'm taking the remaining-uncolored section of the duvet and turning it into a matching 1780s petticoat and jacket ensemble using the Scroop Amalia jacket pattern and miles and miles of hand-sewn trim.
