Mockingbird Designs: Simple Drawstring Skirt One-size-fits-most

My aunt needed a couple of trek skirts for the stake youth conference coming up, but they were for unspecified young women. I have no idea the height or weight of the girls, so I had brain storm an idea so that it would fit anyone or most anyone AND look a little attractive so that they would wear it. Here is the pattern I came up with. It has a waistband in the front and a drawstring/tie back. The back half extends to 40 inches in length from one side of the front to the other. The front is…

I've had a few people ask me to make them a Pioneer skirt for trek this year and each time they ask, I have to cringe just a little. I never thought I'd get squirmy over Pioneer clothing inaccuracies (cuz I'm full of them!), but I did. Anyway, I was wondering where we got this misconception because I used to picture it, too. Last night the kids had just finished watching the Brady Bunch and then on came Little House on the Prairie and there was Caroline right there wearing her light colored…

Welcome to The American Homemaker! Thanks for visiting. I'm sure there are people out there who will never have need for a pioneer outfit.... but if you're anything like our family then pioneer outfits are randomly needed quite often. Next week Nina is going on a pioneer handcart trek and she needs two skirts. I have several pioneer dresses, but she needed skirts and button up shirts. I LOVE using thrift store/yard sale sheets for costume making, especially for pioneer outfits. There is no…

This is a free walking skirt pattern. This walking skirt is Edwardian and vintage-inspired.

If there's one thing we love at AllFreeSewing, it's any kind of vintage sewing pattern, from bohemian and disco patterns of the 1970s to delicate and rich fabrics and patterns from the Victorian era. Nothing embodies all things vintage more than those classic homespun country patterns inspired by America's Western expansion in the mid-1800s. That's why we love this collection of Pioneer Sewing: 21 Sewing Patterns Inspired by Laura Ingalls. This time period brings to mind gorgeous handmade…

I got to say that the pattern testers for this skirt were the nicest and most supportive group of people and their help has been invaluable in making the Coquelicot skirt possible!

For many years now, I have been sewing full skirts with elastic waist bands, without using a pattern. They have three tiers of fabric, each twice as much as the one before. They also last for many years. This skirt, which was hand-sewn back in the days of living in a van while tree planting in North Carolina, has held up remarkably well. The elastic now needs to be replaced, but that will be about a 20 minute repair job. The fabric is still perfect. Here is a picture of the skirt, taken just…

For our Liberty Girls club this semester, we’re going to make costumes for the girls so they can dress up like Josefina. I will have a pattern for the moms to use for the camisa (shirt) but the skirt is just a simple gathered skirt that I don’t feel we need to buy patterns for, so I thought I’d make this tutorial for the moms in our group who would appreciate instructions on how to make one. This is my first tutorial and I took at least a thousand pictures! ; ) We’ll see how many I end up…
