The other day while I was sewing and P was cutting things at her desk she commented that she wanted us to make a skirt for her. She wanted a twirly skirt. We looked through all my fabrics and I didn't have enough of any fabric that she liked to make the really twirly skirt in this tutorial but she did find a pink print that she really liked. 
Today we fashioned a skirt from the half yard of this fabric that I had. I squared it up and cut a 14 inch strip across. I sewed the whole width of fabric into a tube and made an elastic casing at the top. The bottom is finished with rickrack and a folded band of pink fabric so there is not an extra hemming step. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.
She tried it on and it made her want to dance. I call that success.
