View Full Version : Petticoat pattern Luckylove 04-13-2008, 11:55 PM I just ran across this petticoat pattern on marthastewart.com. WAY too complicated for me but I know there are some more talented moms on here that might give it a shot. http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=fe5f088032e39110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCR D&vgnextfmt=default&rsc=ts_Homepage_Homepage TaivensMama 04-14-2008, 12:06 AM Those are Pretty...sure don't think I will be trying it though hehe...I like easy projects... tcolera 04-14-2008, 08:55 AM MIL sews and she willing to try one for Kylie the if all works out possibly do them for a small fee for moms on here!! Brookepanda 04-14-2008, 09:49 AM well watoosi Tammy! :banana you'll have to let us know! I've been looking on ebay for a pettiskirt thing...since the person that was supposed to be hooking us up with a great deal never got back to Sara :( Sara 04-14-2008, 10:46 AM Oh yeah, that lady sucked!!! She finally got back to me and I meant to tell you guys, but all of a sudden we needed a resale license. She knew we were a group of moms going in on a group buy :rolleyes Hummm, I might try this, though I am no master sewer...fabric can be so expensive though. jellybeanmichelle 04-14-2008, 11:05 AM WOW! I'll have to ask my Mom too. I just e-mailed myself the directions. :) tcolera 04-14-2008, 11:53 AM Yeah I printed them for MILshe was here when I saw this thread so maybe she can work on it this week while our DH's are gone. jellybeanmichelle 04-14-2008, 03:01 PM Just to let you know, this was on Martha Stewart today. I video taped the segment to go along with what is on her site. justamom 04-14-2008, 03:04 PM I just watched it on Martha! I was not that into them at first, but my daughter saw it and wants one!!! So of course, now I am liking them a bit. I guess I will be making one for her. They had a cute pink and brown top with the pink and brown one on Martha. Wish they had showed us how to do that. The best way to get a good deal on fabrics is to go when they are having a big sale at JoAnn's because they almost always have a 50% off of one item coupon. I usually stock up then! :thumb Brookepanda 04-14-2008, 03:22 PM FYI: walmart has AWESOME prices on fabric not sure they carry the type of fabric this needs....but someone can check :D tcolera 04-14-2008, 03:45 PM FYI: walmart has AWESOME prices on fabric not sure they carry the type of fabric this needs....but someone can check :D They had so much more back before the remodel. Now they suck. Brookepanda 04-14-2008, 03:58 PM They had so much more back before the remodel. Now they suck. Yeah...the beasts! now they don't have much....but someone should check it out :) Sara 04-14-2008, 04:45 PM I think by tomorrow you will be able to watch the segment online: http://www.marthastewart.com/martha?rsc=ts_Homepage_Homepage justamom 04-16-2008, 02:38 AM We have not been inside of a Walmart since they tried to sue the handicapped former employee. Their selection does suck since the remodel too. :thumbsdown Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 01:51 PM Anyone made one of these yet??? I'm dying for a pettiskirt for photos :D :anyone Lynette 04-21-2008, 03:33 PM Anyone made one of these yet??? I'm dying for a pettiskirt for photos :D :anyone I was looking on eBay and kind of surprised I didn't find much... Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 03:35 PM I was looking on eBay and kind of surprised I didn't find much... I have two on 'watch' right now.....there aren't very many on.....I agree....I'm trying to think of any way people might be spelling it wrong in their listings :giggle It's easier to get a deal when someone misspelled a word in the title line so less people will view that auction...but I'm having a hard time coming up with things :giggle Lynette 04-21-2008, 03:40 PM It's easier to get a deal when someone misspelled a word in the title line so less people will view that auction...but I'm having a hard time coming up with things :giggle I do the same thing :D I did see where pettiskirts seem to be a kind of beauty pagent thing so I started looking around those things and dang, there are some crazy expensive items for sale that are pagent related :eek Marisa 04-21-2008, 03:42 PM What about petticoat? Isn't that what they used to be called before they were worn by themselves? And I'm sure you've tried it spelled with a "y." That would be my first guess. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 03:42 PM I do the same thing :D I did see where pettiskirts seem to be a kind of beauty pagent thing so I started looking around those things and dang, there are some crazy expensive items for sale that are pagent related :eek Yeah....also have you ever seen the photoshop that goes along with those pageant things....it's always on ebay people offering their services.... it's CRAZY! I want a pettiskirt. hrmph. I'm determined!!! I will get one bwahahahhaa Marisa 04-21-2008, 03:43 PM What about petticoat? Isn't that what they used to be called before they were worn by themselves? And I'm sure you've tried it spelled with a "y." That would be my first guess. Duh, I just realized that was the title of the thread. I'm no help. :lol Sara 04-21-2008, 03:45 PM I actually bought the materials and am going to attempt making one. We'll see what happens though, I am not the best seamstress in the world and there are some things I don't understand :D I also think i got the wrong material because I read that getting the cheap stuff it unravels. I've gotten so far as to cut the pieces out and start on the waist band. The kids bug me when I do it, so I think I will start the sewing tonight. On a side note, I just saw a McDonalds commercial and the girl in it had one on! Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 03:56 PM What about petticoat? Isn't that what they used to be called before they were worn by themselves? And I'm sure you've tried it spelled with a "y." That would be my first guess. good call :D I hadn't tried that one yet.....:duh of all the ones I tried...and I didn't think of that one :giggle Luckylove 04-21-2008, 04:02 PM If you're desperate enough you can borrow Ava's for a few days to take pics of madders in. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 04:07 PM If you're desperate enough you can borrow Ava's for a few days to take pics of madders in. That would be so super cool! :giggle I'm desperate enough! hahaha Thanks! If I don't get one of these two I have on watch on ebay I'll hitcha up on that offer! :thumb Luckylove 04-21-2008, 04:08 PM Sounds good! Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 04:08 PM Kathleen...you'll make a killing on that thing when she outgrows it! Those things have great resale from what I can see on ebay! Luckylove 04-21-2008, 04:12 PM What ever happened to everyone buying them on here? I think Sara went with a different company than where Jackie got mine. I wonder if Jackie can get the contact info on them??? Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 04:14 PM it fell through IIRC Sara 04-21-2008, 04:21 PM Yup, fell through, but I would like to try again through the company Jackie got yours at. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 04:34 PM Yup, fell through, but I would like to try again through the company Jackie got yours at. Do you know what company it was from? Luckylove 04-21-2008, 04:37 PM Mine doesn't have a label on it so you would have to ask Jackie. justamom 04-21-2008, 05:03 PM I was looking on eBay and kind of surprised I didn't find much... sounds like a wonderful opportunity for a WAHM with sewing skills!! :) jellybeanmichelle 04-21-2008, 05:12 PM What's a good price to pay someone to make one? Sara 04-21-2008, 05:13 PM It cost me $27 for just the materials, and that was with everything on sale... jellybeanmichelle 04-21-2008, 05:18 PM So I can see it would be expensive not only for the materials, but the labor too. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 05:21 PM So I can see it would be expensive not only for the materials, but the labor too. They sell new for about 80-90 bucks from the websites. I see some on ebay for buy it now 55-60 dollar range but they are few and far between :tongue Sara 04-21-2008, 05:29 PM I have about 2 hours into mine (interrupted by kids) and all I have done is the cutting and part of the waistband. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 05:35 PM This seller (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_so_4?ie=UTF8&rs=1036592&keywords=pettiskirt&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apettiskirt%2Ci%3Aapparel%2Cn%3A10 36592%2Cp%5F4%3ASams&page=1) on Amazon.com has cute ones in Madelynns size for 50.00!!! I'm there!!! :thumb Luckylove 04-21-2008, 05:38 PM That might have been where mine is from. I remember Jackie saying some name similar to Sams or short like that. I think I paid like $30/40 for mine b/c they were buying in bulk. Brookepanda 04-21-2008, 05:42 PM well cool! I'm going to get one of the $50.00 ones from Amazon! yay! :banana Brookepanda 04-28-2008, 04:50 PM how is your pettiskirt project coming along Sara? Sara 04-28-2008, 05:09 PM I'm really getting into it today. Hopefully will be done tonight, but that depends on Mia when she wakes up :D I was just going to take some pics of the progress. Sara 04-28-2008, 05:34 PM Here is the progress: Pile of fabric: <img src=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2064/2449828451_02c05e5b3e.jpg?v=0> waist band with first layer: <img src=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2238/2449828207_8a05334461.jpg?v=0> second layer: <img src=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2113/2450653390_f2a9bbcb95.jpg?v=0> second layer attached: <img src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/2449828547_933c391f4c.jpg?v=0> Brookepanda 04-28-2008, 05:36 PM looking good!!!!
