RECIPE FOR A CORDED PETTICOAT

Authentinote: These instructions are for an 19th century corded petticoat. It is a good method for achieving the full look of 16th century skirts, but there is currently no hard evidence that corded petticoats were used in the 16th century.

Ingredients: 3 yards 45" wide medium-weight cotton or linen fabric 95 yards of #16 cotton cord 1 large spool (1000 meters) thread 3 yards 1/4" manila hemp rope 2 yards bias tape (optional) 2 buttons Liquid starch Water

Equipment: Yardstick Scissors Sewing machine Zipper foot Hand sewing needles Pins Ironing Board Iron Pump Spray bottle

These instructions are taken from a posting to the Compuserve History Forum, and are actually for a 19th century corded petticoat; corded petticoats come in handy just as much under 16th century dress, however. They help your skirts stand out, look very sharp, and are period. The above drawing of a spanish woman in a rope-stiffened farthingale, created in 1545, depicts a skirt similar to that which these instructions create--only with a larger size of cord in the welts, and a wider space between them.

If you use a larger size of cord when making the below petticoat, make sure to cut the original pieces of fabric longer than the 48" specified below--55" or more will be necessary to accomodate all of the tucks necessary. the 48" below makes a petticoat that will fit a woman 5'8" or so; if you are taller or shorter, you may want to sew a strip onto the bottom after all of the tucks are made to make it longer, or cut some fabric off of the top after the tucks are made to make it shorter.

You may find it useful to read Lisa's Tips for Making a Corded Petticoat; she has tried this recipe and has several good suggestions and observations.

In the "Era of the Hoop", not all women wore cage or covered crinolines at all times, for both economic and practical reasons. When doing farm or household chores, evidence suggests that some women opted simply to wear a few layers of petticoats or revert to the pre-crinoline era corded petticoat to support their skirts. For a poorer woman, regular petticoats or a homemade corded petticoat might be the only option within her economic reach. http://home.comcast.net/~lynnegaither/index.html

stoffen bloem..pompom

Werk 1 kant en de zijkanten van de strook stof af met bv een lock machine, aan de andere kant naai je een draad (of 2 draden) zodat je kan rimpelen (zet draadspanning zo laag mogelijk en de steeklengte het hoogst, rechte steek)
Trek de draden aan zodat de stof gaat rimpelen, vouw de einden om en naai ze met de hand vast.
Rol de gerimpelde strook op zodat je mooi bloem of pompom krijgt..ondertussen naai je met de hand de strook her en der vast ..draai de bloem om en zorg dat de achterkant mooi afgewerkt wordt.
