Kannik's Korner Pin-Coth for Girls and Boys c. 1750-1820Pincloths were the predecessor to pinafores and were worn by young boys and girls to protect the child's clothes and was used for play time, daytime, and meal time. This garment covers from the shoulders to the bottom of the gown, is loosely fitted, and ties in the back to cover virtually all of a child's valuable clothes. Only 7/8ths of a yard of small checked linen or ruggad unbleached linen, 6.5 oz is required. Checks are the best for hiding stains but unbleached was the cheapest available fabric for the poor. A fabric called duck may also be used and the closest available to duck is Russia sheeting which is a very sturdy fabric for hard playing boys! Notions needed are white or natural 1/4" cotton twill or 3/4 yard of 1/4" linen tape and 35/2 or 50/3 linen thread in a color to match the fabric. Two sizes are included in one pattern. Small fits up to c. 24" chest and large fits up to c. 28" chest. $6.00 |

Kannik's Korner Infant's Clothing 1750-1800Along with a concise history of infants clothing, this complete pattern includes shirt, bedgown (two styles), robe blanket, frock, cap and under cap, girl's cap, and boy's or night cap. There are also directions for diapers, rollers, squares of flannel and suggestions for pilches/diaper covers. Please note that the sleeves run small in this pattern and making the largest sizes are best for today's large babies. To make the shirt, caps and under cap all require one yard of 2.8 oz. linen or 3.7 oz. linen, 1/8" white cotton twill tape and 90/2 or 120/2 linen thread. The robe blanket requires 1 1/8 yard of white wool flannel, 4 3/8 yards of 1/2 to 5/8" 3/4" silk ribbon and 60/2 linen thread. The bedgown requires 1 5/8 yard of printed cotton, and 1/8" and 1/2" white cotton twill tape. The child's frock requires 2 1/4 yard printed cotton, 1/4 yard of 2.8 oz. linen or 3.7 oz. linen and 1/8" white cotton twill tape. Since we sell 1/8" cotton twill tape in 10 yard balls one is enough to make all the garments. To make diapers 1/2 yard of diaper cloth will make 2 diapers 18 by 30". As a parent I have found making several diapers will be very useful first as burp rags and later to wipe faces or spills even if they are not used as actual diapers. $20.00 |
