Fold them in half lengthwise and stitch close to the fold, from the flat end to 2/3 of the way up; this will give the petals dimension. Stitch the petals to the ribbon or collar, overlapping them by almost half. Add Velcro fasteners at the ends of the ribbon.

Draw around the pattern pieces using tailor’s chalk, adding a 1cm (3/8in) seam allowance all the way around, making sure all grainlines run parallel to the selvedge.
You can easily be inspired by films or television such as Shrek and the Puss in Boots, Alice in Wonderland or Sabrina and her cat Salem. Add googly eyes, pincers or anything that might scare your neighbors. Do not use pins or safety pins; it's better to use Velcro.

Next, I cut out my crinoline, to be about 60″ long and twice as wide as my skirt length.
After making the tucks, I turn the skirt right side out and the tucks are now inside, “pulling up” the bottom hem, giving the skirt more volume.
