I kind of just came up with this one. I had the idea in my head, and it came out close - but not quite right. I think it's cute still, but I'll probably keep tweaking until I feel better about it.
I started out by cutting the bottom tier (about double her waist measurement) and the ruffle (3x the bottom tier). I serged a rolled hem on the tier, and along both edges of the ruffle, then ran a gathering stitch down the middle of the ruffle.
I gathered the ruffle and attached it to the bottom tier of the skirt. I'd recommend lots of measuring and pinning here - the ruffle can slip easily (not that I'm speaking from experience or anything ;) ).
I gathered the top of the bottom tier and attached it to the top tier (her waist measurement + a few inches), then sewed the whole thing into a tube, made a casing and added an elastic waist band.
