Thought I'd share the little skirts I made for Christmas using a tutorial I found at Erin Harris' site, House on Hill Road.  I didn't follow the measurements she has posted because as you can see I had a vast array of sizes to work with, but the basic idea came from her tutorial.  It has wonderful, step by step instructions.  You can find the tutorial here:  http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/photos/twirly_skirt/  Her site has a lot of really great information and ideas.  She also has a  tutorial for a pillowcase dress that I would like to try soon.
