The easiest skirt ever? Maybe...

In my quest to find things I can make in an hour or less which are both wearable and good-looking, I came across this pattern from Oliver and S. It's a simple idea - the skirt is a rectangle cut in one piece across the width of the fabric and the length is up to you, based on the look you want to end up with.  The waistband is gathered with elastic and it's hemmed with ribbon to make it look a bit special.  Here's my attempt for child #4, made in about 45 minutes. Perfecto.
