Gracie's Christmas Outfit...made with love by Aunt Cara

Before... $5.00 long sleeve t-shirt from Target & $2.00 cropped jeans from Goodwill


After... with the help of some fabric, ribbon, ric rac and a sewing machine

I love to buy cute clothes for my niece, Gracie, but they are way out of my budget so I had to get a little creative this Christmas. I sewed some presents out of fabric in 3 different patterns and attached coordinating bows and ribbon. Next time I think I will make the presents a little smaller! :) For the pants, I simply sewed on some eyelet lace trim and some ribbon. The whole project cost me about $15.00! She has already worn it to school for a Christmas field trip and I can't wait to see her wearing it on Christmas Day! :)
