Pleated skirt?

[anaaki-mlb.livejournal.com]

At my school, my kids all call me Velma because I guess I look like her :)


So I wanted to make a Velma costume for Halloween. The problem is, I haven't sewed anything since Home Ec. in 8th grade (ohhh... 10 years ago?) and I barely survived that. I do have a mini sewing that I need to break in , and I live 2 minutes away from a JoAnn's fabric. I'd buy a skirt, but I haven't had any luck finding one. 


I was wondering if you all had any links to easy patterns or advice or really, any information that will help.

Thanks!
