Just thought I would add that I plan to make this same style skirt for my little sister, she's 8, from some velour. Since velour has more stretch than sherpa and it will be a larger size (aka more fabrice to hang) then I will let it hang overnight before I hem. Because the hem of the skirt willbe off grain due to being cut out in a circle it will mostly stretch a bit and make an uneven hem eventually. If I make sure that my fabric is prewashed and I let the finished yet unhemmed skirt hang overnight, then trim unevenness and hem- then the majority of any future problems will be eliminated. Just thought I would mention this since you are thinking of making this style for yourself.
