Sewing an 18th Century Quilted Petticoat || Maternity Fashion Series

Elaborately quilted 18th century petticoats have been on my radar for a while, and while I would love to try making one by hand one day... I decided time was of the essence with my baby due soon, and wisely decided to go the machine route this time around! I pulled inspiration from several different petticoats both online and in books for my quilting design and I LOVE how it came out!
