Twirl Skirts for beginner? (easy to make)?

[azmomtoone]

Anyone have a good tutorial or how-to link for making twirl skirts for toddlers? Super simple ones, I'm not much good at sewing....

I really like this:

But I don't know how complicated it'll be to get all those pieces together right, for one - and I don't really want to pay $10 for a pattern for a one time use.
(Trying to make one for the "big sister" for a friend that's due in a couple months).

How old is the big sister?

The one you linked is cute, but I think the way the pieces are shaped might be a bit of a pain to put together.

Here's a free tute for a tiered twirl skirt.

And here's one for a similar skirt w/ a slightly different look.

This one is less twirly, but very cute and very easy. I can easily knock one of these out in about an hour.

Thank you very much for all the links!

The big sister will be 2 1/2 when the LO arrives.


ETA: I love the ribbon hem on the last one! Very cute!

Those look really neat. I used to love full skirts when I was a little girl (actually I still do, I just made one out of a queen sized sheet, that was just a circle with a hole in the middle, which I made a waist for).

Just found this highly detailed tutorial. I don't know if it's easy, but the author is very thorough!

Here are some of my go to online tutorials for little girl skirts. I have made all of them for a friends daughter and they are pretty simple.
