Child's Drawers Both boys and girls of the Era wore drawers. The only difference between the drawers of little boys and little girls was the amount of decorations around the hemline. Children’s drawers buttoned on both sides and often the little boys had drawer bodies (a loose undershirt-like garment) that buttoned to the waistband. Unlike adult drawers, children’s drawers had sewn crotches. This pattern is for drawers suitable for boys and girls to around the age of 6. The pattern is for a waistband that buttons at both sides, but instructions are included for a drawstring waistband and for an elastic casing. Elastic cloth had been patented in 1820 and was in use during the Civil War, however it was not used for undergarments. Elastic waistbands are, however, an easy way for most Mom's to make garments that are easy to fit and last several seasons. Drawers usually were mid-calf in length and can be seen in pictures peeking out beneath the little girls dresses. Suggestions are given for several different methods of finishing off the lower edges of your drawers. If you make your drawers mid-calf length, you can purchase cotton knee-hi’s (trouser socks) in white or black, and the bottom of the drawers will comedown over the top of the socks. This is a great way to get a period “illusion” without the hassles of stockings and garters. The kid’s love it. TSU065.......$10.00

Girls Drawers This pattern is for drawers or pantalets, as they were also called, for a girl from age 7 to the teens. The pattern is for split-crotched drawers but the seam can be closed if you choose. The split-crotch makes going to the “necessary” a whole lot easier, as these drawers are worn under everything else. The waistband is fastened using a drawstring and casing but it can be replaced with a fitted waistband, if desired. Several trim options are included for the lower edge of your drawers. A TRIM TRICK is included which makes these trim options very easy to do. As children grow rapidly, it is suggested you make the drawers, too big and use growth tucks to reduce their length until needed. TSU066...........$10.00

Boy's Button Fly Trousers Timeless
Stitches
This pattern is for button fly trousers that were worn for most of the 19th
century. There
are two options for the back of the trouser:
the standard straight “civilian” back and the placket insert
style back that is similar to the military pants. There are two styles of
waistband available as well. The standard one-piece style and the two-piece
style with the eyelets in the back, which allows for growth in the trousers
at the waist. The
pockets are the basic side pockets that were used for both military and
civilian styles. These
trousers are designed to fit in the period style, with the waistband being
higher than the waistbands of today.
I have also included a simple pattern for a pair of button-style
braces, to help hold the trousers up. TSM725…………..$12.00 size 4-8
TSM725P……….$12.00 size 10-14
