I finally got round to digging through my fabric stash and using some remnant upholstery fabric I had picked up ages ago. I had two pieces in the same design, one blue and one mauve. I use the blue one for the skirt- I had less than a meter (I think, I didn't actually measure it) and used it all for the skirt, and a strip of the mauve for the waist band. I also used a mauveish zip. In total it probably cost me less than £3 and took a couple of hours. I pleated the blue fabric and basted the pleats. Then inserted the zip and sewed the back seam. Then hemmed the bottom and sewed the waistband in. And voila- an easy peasy skirty.
