Tutorial: Wool gathered skirt with waist tie

Emily from Nap Time Creations shows how you can make a new skirt for winter. Made of wool, it’s a short gathered skirt with a tie at the waist. You could also make this from lighter weight fabric for warmer weather. She tells how to figure cutting dimensions based on your measurements. She shows it as a women’s skirt, but I can see this being cute for little girls, too.
