I forgot to measure the waist before putting in the elastic, but there was plenty of room.  The skirt measures 14" lengthwise.

I made a rectangle and then sewed up the seam except for about 5 inches.  I turned the skirt so the seam was on the side and added shell edging all the way around.

This skirt could easily fit a size 6 if you made more rows.

I sewed up all but the bottom 5 inches of the seam.  I laid it so the seam was on the side.  Then I added a 7dc shell border all the way around.  I started at the slit on the side and then came around and ended on the side seam.  Fasten off and weave in all ends.

I use elastic on all my daughter’s clothes. So I take the ¼ inch elastic, measure it to my daughter's waist and cut. Then I sew the one end into a circle. Then I sc the elastic to the first row of the skirt. Fasten off and weave in ends.
