Maxi Dress for my niece

My niece just turned 10

and she is just so precious!

Get this- 

She asked this year if she could celebrate her birthday at our family's Easter lunch  so that my grandfather (her great grandfather) could come!

Seriously. I just love her!

Except- lately she LOVES to remind me that I am 

17 years older than her!

 (add a 10 year old dramatic voice)

Thank you sweetheart- if I did not already feel ancient, I do now!

Speaking of ancient

I am totally not into this peace sign, neon color fad.

I know. Sad day.

But for my precious niece I will do almost anything.

Even sew hideous fabric.

(It is not really hideous- I am being dramatic)

To make this Maxi I totally cheated.

I bought 11/2 yards of fabric

and a tank from target.

I cut the tank where I wanted the waist to hit

and the rest I photographed for your enjoyment.

(Sorry about the picture quality. I cannot find the time to sew or photograph during the day. My rascals are very rascally lately)

* That should say skirt top. Sorry! (Blush)

TA-DA!

It was SO easy.

My niece LOVED it and

It took about an hour

and you know how slow I am ;)
