Tanya Whelan from Grand Revival shows how to make a lovely pleated wrap skirt. The wrap gives it a more flexible fit around the waist, making this a great skirt for growing kids. Get the tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern
The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I think a wrap around skirt was what they had us make for our first project when I was in 4H. I don’t know if girls learn to sew in 4H anymore, but it worked out very well for a little girl from a non-sewing home.I love the crisp lines of your sample.
