Cheating - A Doily Update

I am cheating!

I was supposed to have one more week, but my trip has been rescheduled and moved up an entire week. So, the doilies that were going to be attached by hand are being zigzagged into place. Chut! Don't tell anyone. 

This is the inspiration for the skirt. I know how to do the belt area but I still don't know if I should even out the hem or leave it as is, which, I think, is going to make me look like an old hippy who hasn't finished her crochet blanquet. 

Any of you know if I can take a crochet hook on a plane?
