Drowning in crinoline

Yahoo!  I finished the crinloine!  I have been slugging away at finishing it since the last time I blogged.  I bought 12.5 meters of extra stiff crinoline netting from our local store and got to work.  Using tutorials I found on-line and on Pattern Review I decided on a four tier crinoline.  About three quarters of the way through I realized that I wouldn't have enough of the stuff, since I needed to save some to interline the corset. Back I went to Sylvia at Needle's Eye.  I had bought all of the extra stiff stuff so she sold me some of the regular crinlone netting.  After two sewing weekends I was finally finished.  As you can see from the pictures, it is certainly full!  I am pretty sure it will support the weight of the lace no problem!

 In the picture above, the crinoline is standing there all by itself - I didn't even have to pin it to the judy. 

The picture below, shows the last seam I sewed on 12.5 meters of net!  I could hardly get into the room!

Next step is to attach it to the skirt of the muslin so we can see if the skirt pattern I drafted will work.
