Calculate how much material you need and cut it out as shown in the first version. Do the marking in the top of the future skirt altering the gaps of double skirt width and the space between the folds (as wide as you like).

Fold some material from the other side in halves to make a fold, pin it and stitch it as long as you need.

Iron it carefully and then unfold it. Put the fold to the left and iron it once again.
