I have to add a note about the Lazy Days Skirt pattern/instructions on the Oliver and S website. It's a toddler skirt with very clear and basic instructions so a total novice can follow it and make a nice skirt for a little girl. http://www.oliverands.com/blog/2008/08/lazy-days-skirt-free-pattern.html
