Hi Debra,
yes, gather the tulle BEFORE sewing it on to the skirt. I gather tulle similar to the gathering idea mentioned in The Market Skirt Tutorial. Change your machine tension to the strongest setting and change the stitch length to the longest stitch and then sew a line down the middle. It should gather real nicely!

I love, love the little tulle skirt! Do tell...did you gather the tulle first and then sew it on? I'm making one for my little neice and couldn't get the tulle to gather on the pratices pieces...is there a secret?

Gorgeous, gorgeous. I love that color. I think it's perfect for June, like lilacs.

I don't think it looks like June gloom at all!...

I don't think it looks like June gloom at all! Great, it's nice seeing little girls in something other than pink. My daughter loves pink and wants to wear pink every day.

i adore this skirt!

I saw the orange one and it inspired me for a dress I made last month (but I haven't put it on my blog yet because it was a gift). I love this one more: color and pattern are beautiful!!!

It's beautiful the color with the tulle makes it very elegant. I'm excited to see what your chiffon will look like. But I'm partial to tulle because I used to be a ballerina and I dreamed of tulle tutus.

Oh, for pete sake, you have GOT to stop making cute things because it only makes my "Projects-that-Dana-made-&-I-must-try-to-make-as-well" list too long.
this one, I think, is my favorite of all. I think you're right--chiffon would be perfect.
