Thanks Kandye, oh I am so going to make these garments. My Rufus Potter painting went so well and had fun with my sister Beverly painting. Now we will have something new to add to our " Kandye projects". We both have colonial home decor. Looking forward to what you have for us next. God bless, have a wonderful week 🌹🤗

Kandye, so nice to see your new video. I will be making the skirt and bed coat. My sister and I live just out side of Gettysburg. It makes it easier for us to get historical fabric. So looking forward to this new project. Thank you so much for this new project. Barb and I really look forward to all you share. God Bless❤

I have cut and worn a number of gowns patterned the way you cut the bed jacket. I did find that the underarm seam was the first to wear out. I found that the fabric would last a lot longer if I added a 3-inch wide gusset under the arms. That way the sleeve can move with you and be less likely to tear.
@cabincrafts223920 күн бұрын
Thank you, you are correct, but inserting a gusset for new sewers might present a challenge. Maybe in the future, I can do a video on that.

I really like the info you have provided in your videos, however I have to say, when it comes to the added material on the bed gown, that would and is very uncomfortable, because most of larger gals have the NEED for more space/room in front. Iam trying your pattrrn with a 55" wide fabric to see if that helps in the correct places. Blessings

Thank you! The extra panel in the back does give room across the front. I had to make one for a woman that was a size 22W!

I am not a seamstress, at all, but I feel like I could make a skirt and apron. Now, I usually just use a scarf I have, but I’d like to make a fichu. Could you do a video on how to make that and what kind of material would I use? Linen or cotton or lace? Thank you again.
@cabincrafts223910 күн бұрын
A fichu is just a huge square. It can be lace for a more dressy look or a soft cotton or linen for every day. You just fold it in half like a large triangle. I have used scarves too. I think a 36" x 36" square after seams are sewn would be plenty.

Does the slit ever open while wearing it and accidentally show your unders? I’d love to try making these! Thanks for showing us how 😊
@cabincrafts223923 күн бұрын
No because you should be wearing a shift under your skirt, plus there are so many gathers it stays closed. You can also wear your pocket on the outside if you prefer.

Kandye It's sorta confusing why they're called bed gowns when ladies wore them during the day 🤔
@cabincrafts223923 күн бұрын
I copied this because it was easier than typing it all out: Wikipedia Bedgown A bedgown (sometimes bed gown, bedjacket or shortgown) is an article of women's clothing for the upper body, usually thigh-length and wrapping or tying in front. Bedgowns of lightweight printed cotton fabric were fashionable at-home morning wear in the 18th century. Over time, bedgowns (also called in this context shortgowns) became the staple upper garment of British and American female working-class street wear from the 18th to early 19th centuries, worn over petticoats and often topped with an apron. Made of sturdy cotton, linen, wool or linsey-woolsey, these bedgowns were simply cut to a T-shaped pattern, and were worn overlapped in front or with the front skirts cutaway.[1] The term "bed gown" to describe this item of clothing was used as late as 1876.[2] Bedgowns lingered as fashion garments into the mid-20th century, usually under the newer name bedjackets, in the form of short robes or wrappers worn over a nightgown or negligee for warmth and modesty while sitting up in bed for breakfast, reading, or similar pursuits. They had mostly fallen out of fashion by the 1960s.
