If you like this style but don’t sew at all (or just don’t have time), there’s a bunch of excellent small businesses who sell something very similar - and I encourage you to support them and their hard work and artistry!

Yes, both modern pockets and historical pockets (the ones that are an extra tied on bag under the skirt) would be nice to see. I think this kind of skirt will be a great option for me as I tend to fluctuate between sizes.

Honestly, size adjustable clothes should be the norm. Not just because it will fit you for longer - also because it tends to look more tailored, and enhance your body shape better. And be way more comfortable to wear.

I feel obliged to mention the 18th-century pocket to go with the 18the-century skirt - you know, the thing that's a pouch on a tape that you wear under the skirt and reach through the side slits. Honestly very practical, as it means you don't have to put pockets into each individual garment. :)

I saw some very decorative large pear shaped, embroidered pockets in the Bath assembly rooms, bought a book, when on holiday in the Uk from Australia. They had a vertical slit in the front piece and a tie for the waist. Some had 2 pockets on one wide cotton tape so they were held at each side slit when worn, they can be loose on the tape in a channel, so you can move them around and replace the tape, thin tape can get into knots easier and sewn on pockets can be torn off. If the tape comes untied, you can lose your pocket/s. I made a gathered skirt on a set size waistband from rectangles years ago, my flatmates said they hated me, that was too easy. I like your idea very well, as my waist size changed over the years and I could no longer wear it. I have made a few with elastic in the waist since, no pleats or gathers, with 3 channels, the band does not roll up so much, if I get thinner, or the elastic fails, I replace it or just tighten the elastic. Modern styled pocket bags would work well here, cut them longer above the pocket space, sew one piece on each side of each slit, then sew pocket bags nearly to the top but not the last few inches, to leave room to get in there. Sew the top edges of the front ones into the inside of front panel, and the back pieces to the ties, next to the back panel. Or is this what you did already? I like your folded ties version, to enclose all edges in. You could put on the skirt, backwards, tie the first one, turn it around on you, tie the other and tuck ties inside the front. I will have to try this method, thank-you. With pockets in, if the slit opens you only see the pockets. Things can, fall out of these pockets, be sure you can reach the bottom of them. a small square pocket with a closer and tab or a zipper may be useful for a key, etc. Sewn insde the back or front of skirt or centred on the pocket tape.

@michellebyrom6551
@michellebyrom6551 Год назад
​@juliejegstrup9352 if modern fabrics aren't comfortable to some, old fashioned bloomers work well. Made in cotton, use the crotchline shaping from an existing comfortable pants pattern (add on two rectangles 30cm long, 7cm wide for the front, 13 cm wide for the back, mark where a 45°angle line would be from centre edge to upper rectangle line, then draw a curve to hit that line to shape crotchseam) if no pattern available. Pieces need to be several cms wider than hips plus seam allowance, the extra fabric is down the inside leg. Length can be anything from 5cm, 10 to 15 cm will take them beyond chub rub point. Join crotch seam and make up like the basic skirt.

Many years ago my mom badly broke her ankle falling on the ice. She knew basic sewing but hadn't really constructed anything since we, her kiddos, left home. She was really in a mentally tough place and my stepdad had no idea how to help her... In steps the heroine of this story, my grandmother! She set the sewing machine on a solid makeshift table just next to the bed, had my mom lie down on her stomach and taught her how to make quilts! Wow! What an amazing skill she passed to mom and she, in turn, passed to my sister. Your determination to bring and keep your mind out of a dark place is commendable and encouraging to so very many!!! Your courage to be open about something so personal is a tough decision to make. I hope your openness helps others be honest with themselves about their own struggles and work to find a positive solution that works for them. ❤️

My favorite method of pleating that doesn't involve math or any sort of gridded fabric: pin on the edges and the middle. Divide each section in half and pin in the middle. Continue until you're happy with the size and spacing of the pleats. Then mash down the fabric however you want your pleats pointing, pin, and sew in place.

Now that I've watched the entire video, this is basically how I make petticoats for historical re-enactment. I generally don't go with any measurements; I just figure out the length, make sure that an even number* of panels is big enough, and go to town. Honestly I sometimes don't even measure for the ties; I just wrap a ribbon or string around my waist to approximate a waistband and then use that as my guide. For some reason it never occurred to me to apply this to "real world" clothes. So, thank you! *my last historical gown I made using three panels and I was faced with the decision to either try to split one panel for the side opening, or to squeeze two panels into the back and one into the front. I went with the latter and HOO BOY trying to pleat 104" into a 12" bodice back is uh.. challenging. Especially on mid-weight linen. Even though it's technically pleated, I ended up essentially using a gathering technique, and it's sewn on um.. in a historical, not modern, fashion. (To be fair, I did that mostly on purpose so the bum would stick out without me having to make or use a bum roll sooooooo.)

If one can't cut the waist ties on the strait grain, or wants to use a premade bias tape - the stretch can be eliminated by tucking a piece of any non-stretch fabric cut on the strait grain - including a piece of branding printed selvage from quilting cotton, or a piece of ribbon or twill tape in a colour you'll never use - in between the layers and sewing it in there to stabilize.

I've been considering making a skirt like this since I saw one online (can't remember now, who made it). I think one in wool, that is at least ankle length would be great to wear over my uniform trousers in winter to help keep my legs warm from the drafts that blow in the door of the school bus I drive. I'd be interested in a second and a third episode on this skirt - the getting weird one sounds particularly titillating.

Sewing had always been something I have desperately wanted to do, but it has always seemed too complicated and precise and intimidating. Thank you for bringing things back to basics, and making me feel capable! Edit: I just want to stress, i was so nervous about doing pleats. They sounded so tricky!!!

This is great! I'm not really comfortable wearing skirts anymore but I'm thinking of making a pair of very ✨️extra✨️ fancy trousers with this kind of waistband situation. I'd like to add that it might be easier to get the look you want by deciding the width of your pleats instead of the number, just because it's easier to visualise a small measurement than mentally dividing a larger one. It might take a little more math but here's what I would do: 1/2 of waist measurement / pleat width = number of pleats. You may have to do some futzing since you're unlikely to get an exact and even number of pleats but the extra can go into the knife pleat at the center (very historical) and/or to the sides as overlap. You can also make the width of your pleats slightly bigger or smaller to see if you get closer to a usable number. Then you take 1/2 the width of your skirt (minus any extra that you've put at the sides or center) / your even number of pleats = length of fabric going into each pleat. And there you go!

Glad to come across this. Please don't bother with imperial; I'm a disgruntled American who was soooo excited for metric as a kid. Just to be disappointed, just like the rest of my childhood 😑 The more things are in metric, the better! Bring it💪 Please😁

I have no idea how or why this video popped up in my feed, but it was absolutely what I needed. I have minimal sewing skills and I'm trying to figure out how to use the 1950s era sewing machine I inherited. However, I'm confident that I could actually make this skirt, because im unable to find anything in the stores or online that I like. My ears perked up at your comment that one "could add a train." What an absolute genius idea to hide an uneven rear hem! A rear panel, not quite the width of the skirt, could be added to the back and drape down 6-8" or more. A contasting color, pattern or even fabric could be extremely intriguing.

Yes to part 2! And a bit more time to see the different skirts when they are finished, I felt like I only got glimpses!

Just WOW !!!! 🤩 Your knack for articulately explaining sewing procedure is amazing - your ability to keep it straightforward and concise is outstanding !!! So often advanced sewers forget the struggles of the novice - or just don’t know how to coherently lay out the problems & solutions. Where have you been until now? Video is clearly your forte - I anticipate Determined Sewers of the World to flock to you!!! 🙌🏻

This skirt would work wonderfully with the giant tie in pocket they used in the Victorian Era. I need and love pockets! Sadly, the majority of my clothes do not have them as I wear a lot of babydoll dresses. I would happily take part 2. Oh, and I'm Subscribibg today! Yay!

@bebejolie8187 Год назад
Yes, please do a part two! I would love to see pockets and maybe also different pieces of fabric used together. Also, how about a circle skirt with or without pleats? But I suspect that will not be zero waste anymore
@denisepettit8534
@denisepettit8534 Год назад
I saw someone say use a round tablecloth for a circle skirt. That would be very little waste and the circle cut out could be made into a placemat, potholder or something I'm thinking.

Thanks for spreading the word about the split side skirts! I’ve been making and wearing them for a couple years now. My clothing is 18th century inspired, I make my skirts about mid-calf length, I always wear two skirts and wear an 18th century style pocket in between, I find that 10 inch long openings on the side work great. I tie the back panel to the side a bit, not right on my belly, ‘cause I already have more belly than butt😜 Getting the pleats juice right is the most difficult part.

You are a good teacher and I appreciate the effort you have put into this tutorial in specific and your channel in general. Pocket is hilarious to one who has made tie on pockets so stupid easy. 🤣 ❤ Fantastic job

You're the first person I hear making clear that the widest part of our hip may not be exactly your bum, but your thighs, which is my case, so I'm glad to know I've been measuring correctly taking that into account and measuring my butt not exaclty at the center but a little below still catching it as it's widest + the top of my thighs due to cellulite. Thanks!

Omg, THANK YOU. I've been looking for any kind of reference/tutorial to make this kind of simple "apron-front" type skirt ever since I learned this was an easy way to make a skirt that was both eternally adjustable and allowed for access to detachable pockets.

I never knew what kind of skirt this was until I saw your video. When I was a girl, my mother gave me a beautiful black skirt made like this. It had a Mayan sort of pattern painted in white all around from the hem to about 8 inches below the waist. My maternal grandfather had brought this skirt back to my mother from a trip, and she’d worn it all her life until I came to the age that I could wear it. I then wore it until it became quite worn in my late 20s. There was a white cotton peasant blouse with handmade lace ruffles around the neck. I loved both! I think I’ll make one now. I remember how nice it was to be able to wear it at different ages and sizes. Thank you so much for your easy-to-follow video.

This is so good! As a sewer from childhood as my mum laid a frock on the floor and cut around, then sewed on my grandmothers aunts treadle machine from the 1860s, I learned needlework and pattern drafting at 13 at school, specialising in collars, neck measured by tape, folded in half for half neck, the intelligent sewers approach, and in sleeves, loving the proper set in sleeve head and all the variants. Now as I have slimmed down from 17 years of steroids back toward my athletic leaness plus curve, I can made a pencil skirt this way in tweed or fine wool or linen to cope with my reversion from current 34” waist on the way back down. A higher waist skirt made this way just uses a wider ribbon, being somewhat preppy that will be fine, as well the ties from the ties can be tapered if need be if the fabric is thick. If tied in front as feature the front tie could be lined and stiffened , then slit with a buttonhole and the other end put thru and folded round like a Marant leather belt. This would give a designer tweak. Your mentioning pockets gladdens my heart. A pencil skirt should have pockets. A wide delight needs pockets. So pretty, love the silk skirt with the big bow. Thank you for posting this, it’s wonderful to hear dressmaker talk which other RU-vidrs on sewing don’t do.

Love this! I wear 1890s style walking skirts but I’m mentally struggling with having to redo the waistbands due to weight gain-and the newest one I’ve made that I can actually wear ended up about an inch too large, so the whole skirt tends to drift downward and rotate from side to side if I’m not constantly straightening it. I’ve been brainstorming ideas for adjustable waistbands, but the 18th century method might be the least complicated way to churn out a few wearable skirts. I think I could make it work with a gored walking skirt, as long as the side seams are in the right place. I usually gather my skirt backs, but pleating the rear fullness and adding some knife pleats to the side-back area would help camouflage the overlap.

Thank you so much for this video! Every step is so clear and approachable!
