UPDATE 04/17/2011:
Here are updated links for making the skirt: Part One and Part Two. Many thanks to MrsMamaHen for her wonderful tutorial!
I have long admired really long wrap around skirts and finally gave in and purchased one. Once I got it, it was so simple to make I knew I could sew it myself... but... I'm not very good at figuring out patterns, so I checked the 'net to see if someone had already done so. Much to my delight I found connimom's blog and she has the directions on there. I made a black skirt a couple of months ago, and sewed another one yesterday.
Really easy and you can put one together in an afternoon. The hardest part is finding fabric 58 - 60" wide!
Here is a skirt I made yesterday afternoon.

If you love long skirts, give this one a try! If you can cut fabric and sew in a straight line, you can make this skirt!
thank you so much! i have been looking for simple directions for this off and on all day!
