Happy March everyone! I got delayed on posting challenge #3, so why not post about the projects together?
For challenge three, Pink, I did up an 18th century petticoat of pink check silk. It's not tremendously exciting by itself, but I have future plans for a frilly little caraco to match. I already have fly fringe for it in the works!
The Challenge: Pink
Fabric: Pink check silk
Pattern: None, just took measurements from a previously made petticoat that fits.
Year: Later 18th century
Notions: Linen tape for waistband.
How historically accurate is it? Appropriate fabric. Appropriate stitches and pattern, to the best of my knowlege.
Hours to complete: I didn't keep track :(
First worn: Not yet
Total cost: The fabric was about $20/yd.

For the fourth challenge, Under It All, I finished up an early 1900's petticoat that I started last year. It's based on the Truly Victorian Circle Skirt pattern, with an extra flounce at the bottom. The flounce and skirt are stiffened with tucks at the hem, to help hold the fabric away from the feet, and support the over skirt.
The Challenge: Under it All
Fabric: White cotton broadcloth
Pattern: Truly Victorian's Circle Skirt Pattern
Year: 1900, give or take. I planned it for 1900-1905, but I suppose the shape could be used for 1890's, too.
Notions: Ribbon, insertion, cotton tape for waist band.
How historically accurate is it? I would think it's fairly accurate to the era. The ribbon is probably poly, though...
Hours to complete: I am so bad at keeping track of this!
First worn: Not yet
Total cost: I think the fabric was anywhere from $4 - $8 for a yard. Everything else, I had.
Lovely work on both of these pettis!

I do believe that someday i will win the Powerball lottery. finally my dreams came through when i contacted Dr. OSE and tell him i needed the lottery winning special numbers cause i have come a long way spending money on ticket just to make sure i win. But i never knew that winning was so easy with the help of Dr. OSE, until the day i meant the spell caster testimony online, which a lot of people has talked about that he is very powerful and has great powers in casting lottery spell, so i decided to give it a try. I emailed Dr. OSE and he did a spell and gave me the winning lottery special numbers 62, and co-incidentally I have be playing this same number for the past 23years without any winning, But believe me when I play the special number 62 this time and the draws were out i was the mega winner because the special 62 matched all five white-ball numbers as well as the Powerball, in the April 4 drawing to win the $70 million jackpot prize...… Dr. OSE, truly you are the best, with Dr. OSE you can will millions of money through lottery. i am a living testimony and so very happy i meant him, and i will forever be grateful to him...… you can Email him for your own winning special lottery numbers now oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATSAPP him +2348136482342
