A cute easy skirt for someone with minimal sewing skills

Basically, I kept seeing these skirts everywhere and I wanted one but they were pretty expensive. So idecided to make my own. I got the fabric on sale; 4 dollars for 2 yards. The elastic was almost 2 dollars. The brown skirt at the top was the inspiration for my creation. P.S. If you don't understand something, just let me know and maybe I can help you.:+*
