Well, since the small bit of fabric under the presser foot is all you need to 
really worry about when sewing, I don't know that either way is easier. But 
starting at the bottom as you suggest does mean you're sewing shorter distances 
as bulk increases. This sounds good.
If you're slow and careful, you can skip gathering threads and such but 
carefully putting in little tucks as the ruffle goes under the presser foot. 
Keep 
it neat!

Have fun!
