I saw some skirts posted by Ruth on SewChic. I modified the measurements and directions to suit my two granddaughters who are 5 & 7 years old, cut a pattern for each of them and stitched them up. The first one was a wearable "muslin". I used an attached waistband with elastic inserted. I serged the bottom edge. turned that serged edge up, and top-stitched the hem for the first one.The next time I simplified it by using a cut on waistband and stitching the elastic to the top of the skirt.
For the next two I used the narrow hem foot on my machine for the hem. They are so easy to make. They really look better on but I don't have my "models" handy. I have a couple more pieces to make them matching ones.
