So, in the process of making a Star Wars dress out of vintage sheet fabric (that process in a post to come) I decided I wanted a petticoat to give the dress some "pouf." I then remembered the last petticoat and momentarily entertained the idea that I had gone insane. "Not at all" the voices in my head answered and I set about to make another petticoat.
But this time I had a different plan of attack.
But this time I had a different plan of attack.
 | First step was to make the base of the petticoat. I made a simple circle skirt out of muslin. Next I cut blue, green and tan tulle to the length of the dress. |   |
Oh, here's a pic of my cat helping me.
Me: Sure, show up when this petticoat is relatively easy to make.
Him: I'm Parker, the helpful but shy one. I'm always ready to be of assistance, except, um, last time... I had a thing.
Me: Oh, right, thanks, then where's Sylvana?
Him: Chewing on your other petticoat.
Me: GAA!!!!....

 | After cutting the tulle I gathered the ends with a zig-zag stitch, which also made it easier to sew them to the circle skirt. |  |
And so, about an hour and a half later, here we go.
