I tried this simple, modest skirt tutorial last night for Timber. It went together really, really fast and would be a perfect skirt to sew for your daughter if you're new to sewing. Plus, it's adorable! The only way I may modify it a little would be to taper the top while I'm cutting my fabric so that there isn't as much gather at the waistline when complete.
Here are the photos that I took this gloomy, rainy morning.

I only had 1 yd of fabric (or maybe a little less) to make this so my back ties didn't come out to be as long as in the tutorial- or even as long as I'd like. But they'll do.
I would certainly make this skirt again. It's a winner!

I love it! The sash in the back is lovely.
I just got chills when I read your comment Steph!! YAY for girlS! I really am so excited for you guys♥
Cute. I am going to suggest this one to my beginning sewing 4H girls!
she looks so adorable in it....now all she needs is a little apron. how cute would that be?
Oh she looks so adorable! What a little lady!! Thanks so much for sharing these photos! And your background scenery looks like it should be in a painting! So lovely :) I'm glad you liked the skirt.
Darling skirt and she looks so pleased with it. My challenge when the girls were younger was to see if I could finish an item before they grew out of it!
Very cute and simple looking. Maybe even a novice sewer like myself could pull it off.
Absolutely precious!! You did great, and she looks like she loves it!
That is so cute! Your little girl looks adorable. :)
I just want to squeeze her! Let her know that I am goin to catch her next time I see her and kiss both her chubby cheeks (So she knows its coming-although I'm pretty sure she expects it by now ;)!
I love it when my girls' skirts are long like that! Lovely.
I just LOVE it!
I am new to sewing so I appreciate the simplicity of this and I will certainly be checking this link out. Plus, I have several yards of fabric lying around and I can't wait to have something neat to make out of free fabric!!!
Thank you everyone for all the nice comments. :)
Very cute skirt, love the tie in the back.
The model is cuter than the skirt! I loved to sew for my daughter when she was young and she loved to wear dresses and skirts. I miss that. But now fill the void with knitting for the grandbebes. Great job- and April right on perfect 4-H beginning sewing project!
Oh Heather,
Very cute! And so is the skirt. I just love seeing photos of you and your family :)
Have a most Blessed Resurrection Day!
