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
Its quite labour intensive but totally worth it for its classic 1950's style!
One from Burdastyle now
Which will be perfect for longer skirts!
Finally I found this very clever tutorial by Katrina from Edelweiss Patterns
This adjustable petticoat is perfect for adding fullness just where you want it!
