Here are my first pair of crotchless drawers. Ooh la la. I made them for Dickens Fair, and they'll be hidden under at least two petticoats and a skirt, so they aren't really very sexy. They were historically for convenience purposes, and will be so again while negotiating porta potties at the fair.
Don't you want me baby |
Another sheet bites the dust in the name of fashion |
Good thing this will be UNDER wear |
Doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me. |
Fabric: cotton
Pattern: Laughing Moon #100, Ladies Victorian Underwear 1840-1900
Year: 1840
Notions: Cotton Thread, Cotton Cording
How historically accurate is it? I did everything by hand and it's all natural materials. If the pattern is historically accurate then it's at least 95%
Hours to complete:24 hours , the pintucks and the self bias binding added time to the mix
First worn: Just parading around my house making my daughter laugh
Total cost: Cording 25 cents, sheet $1 . So $1.25
Really nice work, Tracey, the bloomers AND the blog. I want to peek in the drawers of... no, not yours! The library catalog drawers BEHIND you in the picture of you modeling your drawers, those are the drawers I want to peek in! What sort of sewing treasures are the shelf list catalog full of?!?!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, as organized as I thought those would make me, I ended up with 72 junk drawers. They are fascinating to go through. Even for me, because I forget whats in there.
