Tutorial: Sew a simple gathered skirt

Pam from Threading My Way shows how you can sew a simple gathered skirt. They make a great first sewing project, or a quick afternoon project for a more confident sewist. You won’t even need a pattern, just some basic measurements. If you want to sew a skirt for a little girl sizes 2 -5, she’s got the measurements you need. For other sizes, you can take the measurements yourself and follow her directions to figure the dimensions to cut.
