1860's crinoline

At last! It's done!!!!

The hoops from hell have finally been tamed. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. I really like the size of them... although they seem even smaller than I thought they would be. My legs bump them when I walk, but I just need to make an effort to take smaller steps. They are VERY sturdy too. I'll try to do a little write-up on my thoughts and suggestions about using piano wire next week.

Yay!

Simplicity 7216. It's out of print, but you can find them online without too much trouble. I highly recommend the pattern!

That's the pattern I used, too. Yours looks great!
