I knew right from the moment I started this project that I had to have a fully ruffled petticoat over my hoop. Why? Either I have drooled over Gone With The Wind too many times or because I am a sucker for punishment. What started out as a simple task, soon turned into 75 yards of pintucked ruffles that had me wondering what was I thinking. I almost stopped at two ruffles, but I am glad I didn't, because I love my frilly petticoat. I wish I could just wear it by itself.
Here was the inspiration
I started out with 55 yards of cut out ruffles, and ended up using 75 (two trips to the store) and a whole lot of thread!
My floor is getting eatin by ruffles!!
More later.
