In this class, learn the history of the style of the 18th century petticoat, and how to make it!  A petticoat in the 18th century, was just a term for a skirt.  Many times at least 3 of them would be layed on top of eachother to give the typical sillouette for the time.  We will be making a typical petticoat of the time, with spacing for your tie in pockets, and even go over typical simple embroidery and lapstitch seams.  Come prepared for a class of history, and fun!
You will need:

  • Your sewing machine
  • 3 Yards of Cotton or Linen.  Plain colored, or patterned
  • hand sewing needles
  • 2 skeins of embroidery floss to match your fabric
  • Drawstring for the Petticoat (cotton twill tape works well)
