An 18th-century Style Petticoat!
I made an 18th-century style petticoat out of a lightweight ecru/beige muslin. I basically followed A Fashionable Frolick's tutorial , which I recommend. It was thorough and explained not only what to do well, but why in addition to different methods one could use. I am extremely happy with this petticoat! It was also very straightforward to make. I cut my fabric out - 120" by around 40" - then pinned the sides together, leaving the pocket slits open. I used the mantua maker's stitch which I really like the finish of - it is essentially a rolled hem but both edges are rolled together. It is similar to a felled seam, but you don't have to stitch the seam twice and you don't see your stitching on the outside/right side. Next I leveled the hem and then hemmed it using a small rolled hem, which took a little while. I finished the pocket slits using a rolled hem . I then pleated the front and the back. I had never pleated before so that was exciting....
