Sew Easy?

So, I want to sew a skirt to match my reversible vest that I made awhile ago... I've never made a skirt before so I wonder if I'll be able to pull it off. I pulled off the vest with little to no difficulties (though figuring out how to make it reversible was a little mini trial). I've also made a mexican-style embroidered dress before. That turned out really well, though my grandma had to finish the parts that were difficult for me...mainly the sleeves and the neckline. Otherwise, the dress is quite cute.
Anyways, back to this skirt... I think I have enough of the fabric that I used before because I bought the whole rest of the bolt when I found it again.. (I kept going back to the store in search of the same fabric...at least twice...and when I found it the third time I figured that I'd just buy the whole thing instead of constantly searching.)
I don't know what design of skirt would be the easiest to make. Any ideas?
I've also picked up a new prayer book. It's called "The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary". I like this version of the office, it's really easy to follow. I've been rather good at keeping up my prayer too, this book is nice and structured...a prayer for morning and evening each day. There's also a daytime prayer, but I haven't added that to my day yet. I'm just ecstatic that I am doing morning and evening prayer on my own!!!
I have a meeting with the vocation director later this week (actually in a couple of days---Weds to be exact). Please keep me in your prayers. I'll be showing her the prayer books that I have found.
I want to give away my collection of Cabbage Patch dolls...though I wonder if it would be a good thing to give them to the neighborhood kids around here. I don't want their parents to be suspicious. I really have no bad intentions, but you know how parents are, better safe than sorry. I'd love very much for each of my dolls to find good homes..with deserving girls.
It's still in my heart to become a mentor for a child at the children's home. I wonder what it would take for me to be able to do that. I will write the director of volunteers and ask that question.
