It's been a crafty week for me. I finished an outfit for Evie this week out of fabric I bought a year ago for this project, nothing like getting right on a project! Also, I made an outfit for Tyfanny's daughter, Avarie (for her 3rd birthday). Hopefully it will fit! I'm a little nervous about that...
Do you know how hard it is to get a good picture of an outfit ON A 17 MONTH OLD? I think I need help from my husband next time I try that.
Details for you sewing folks out there: both pants are "britches & bloomers", Evie's top is Simplicity 4243 and Avarie's top is just a Children's Place white shirt with coordination fabric.
I feel like this is a model shot or something...gazing off in the distance.
Just trying to show the pants. Not having great luck.
Avarie's outfit.
Cute little ruffles!!!
My very first attempt at 'embellishing' a t-shirt to coordinate with pants. I hope it holds up! It's got an iron-on backing and then some decorative stitches on the top edges. We'll see.

It is amazing and Avarie LOVES it! You will see her sporting this precious new outfit on Monday... so bring along your camera as getting a picture of a 3 year old can be a bit easier than a 17 month old. :)
Wow, I am so envious of your sewing abilities. I wish I had some sort of talent in that area. The outfits look great!
Wow Christi, I am totally impressed. I also can't believe how big Evie is getting! Miss ya.
can you move back to Omaha please so we can do these projects together. Seriously, those are so cute. Love it!!
adorable Christi, what a talent you have!
Love the little outfit you made for Evie. Grandma Ankeny would be so...proud of you. She loved to sew.
I can't believe how much Evie is looking more and more like you. what a cutie!
Love,
Aunt Devonne
Very cute outfit! I noticed Evie's at church last Sunday (?),and thought it was super cute! You did a great job! (And yes---I think that one pic of Evie is also a "model shot"! Definitely should be framed in your home!)
Cute outfit. How fun. I'll have to make something like that for Isabelle. Congratulations on your quarter time position at the church.
LOVE these! Thanks for sharing - how fun to see your projects! I think I remember you showing us the fabric when you bought it last year for Evie's outfits. Cute, cute stuff. I just bought Amy Butler's "In Stitches" book and am excited to try some stuff out. You are inspiration!
very cute. Buttercream
I want to know Buttercream's true identity...though I think I have a suspicion....:)
I am totally impressed and wish I had just an ounce of your creativity and sewing ability! Cute, cute, cute! You should go into business! =)
Who is "Tawnya"?
I like the choice of prints together. Evie looks like she is elated with your work!! Great job the purses/bags on your previous entry are nice prints also. Good taste.
Love, Mom
Christi -
Super impressed. I'm cruising around looking at all your creative endeavors - impressed! Do you have an Etsy site? You should. Sometimes, buyers just want to find someone creative enough to sew clothes or make jam - it's not always about being a Lena Corwin or an Amy Butler. BTW, you should check out the patterns at Oliverands.com - they're super cute.
Have a great New Year -
