It's surprisingly easy to make a basic pleated skirt. You don't need a pattern - you just need some measurements. And the great thing is, you'll just be cutting your fabric in rectangles, so there's nothing complicated about it!
With this skirt, I used 3 yards of fabric and added a contrasting color to the hem and waistband.

I've been looking for something to do with my old fabric (well, fabric that I decided I needed to have and never used!)
I'll try and post a picture when I'm done :)
