1950's Sewing - Petticoats

I was recently emailed by Nani asking if I could point her in the direction of a good petticoat tutorial, I found a few variations and though it was time I shared my favorites with you all!

First up is a very pretty petticoat tutorial from Sugardale

1920's Sewing - Silk Kimono Style Robe


Silk Kimono Style Robe
34-46" Bust
When designing the robe, I, Benedikta, imagined big color blocks in primary colors, yellow, blue and red. Now having sewn it up quite some time later we decided on a bit more sophisticated color combination in which everyone following our blog posts had a part in. The solid colors really pronounce the design but I can very well imagine it in a mix of prints or stripes and solids. If our robe would not have been all in silk we would have taken the sleeve part double and added a thin layer of quilting in between with the typical diamond shaped top-stitching. That extra would be a nice idea if the gown is made as a warm cozy Christmas present surprise. Enjoy!
