Crinoline Lady Doily...

[heart]

Ok, a few of you wanted to see the doily crinoline lady, here's the origional pattern

http://www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich/LadyFair.html

I did make a few changes, I don't have easy access to #30 thread so I used # 10 and a #7 hook. I stopped after row 11 b/c the doily was getting big! Then picked up again in the pattern where the chains come in the design. There was a mistake in the pattern, on row 5 of the bodice it should have said to change color for the Dress, so start with the skin color, then change at row 5 for the dress or yours will look like mine in all white up to her neck, arms, ect...I did figure this out before I did the arm, but I didn't print the pic and I really do not like to frogg If I don't have to, soooo, I'll know better next time. There was a lot of sewing though.

Here's the photo of mine...the white on it kinda glows from the flash...
