Make this easy beginner pattern from Simplicity in one hour with two yards of fabric or less. The nice thing about it is that even if you're making the biggest size (size 24), it only takes two yards of fabric. Many skirts take 4-5 yards, which can get expensive, so it's nice to see a skirt that can be made relatively cheaply. Note that the one hour time estimate does not include cutting out the fabric.
