Birthday Present!

My niece turned four this past week and I wanted to make her something fun for her birthday.  She loves dress up and when I saw this skirt, I knew I had to make it for her!  I purchased the pattern, because I knew I wouldn't be able to figure out how to even start making the skirt and I knew I would use again for other birthday gifts (I have five nieces!).

After lots of sewing, ruffling, seam ripping, and sewing some more...this is what I came up with.
