Simple DIY circle "midi" skirt

My daughter has been begging me to sew her a midi skirt for the last couple of months.  I finally pushed a few things aside to gain a little spare time, which is almost impossible to find these days, so I could sew her a skirt. We began our venture by scoping out the local fabric store and came across a gorgeous salmon colored polyester fabric.  I next found and used this pattern from stylelist.com. 


I realize this isn't exactly a midi skirt on her because at her 5'9" height, I should have only looked for 62" bolts of fabric.  However, She is thrilled with the outcome(I say that lightly because, if you know my daughter, you know, she contains her emotions rather liberally) BUT I did get a permanent grin 
and a "can I just wear this to play practice today?" She looks so sophisticated and absolutely beautiful wearing it, which I love, because her usual choice of clothing are jeans or PJs

I will say one word about this pattern, okay maybe two words....simple and elegant! 



Here is some "twist" action...
