My niece is turning 5 today! Having only boys in my house, I love any opportunity to make something for a little girl. And this little girl loves anything and everything girlie!
For those of you who can sew, if you have not checked out the blog Dana Made It you MUST do so. Dana's blog is full of wonderful tutorials, and she has a boy and 2 girls so there is something for everyone! I have made many of the boy items, including pants and shorts, and her tutorials are wonderful and easy to follow.
I used the market skirt tutorial for my niece.
I measured my niece's waist one day and then used the information at the end of the tutorial to adjust the size for her.
I followed Dana's tutorial, omitting the pockets, and I added a little lace at the bottom edge. To do this I simply put right sides together and sewed in a straight line. When done I flipped the lace down and ironed the seam flat.
Just pair it with a cute shirt - you can even embellish the shirt - and you have an adorable little outfit for a birthday girl!

This is so cute! I love the lace detail on the bottom.
