Although 1999 is not considered vintage, it is however old in pattern life and in the fashion world. So when I decided to make the girls matching Christmas outfits, I really liked the bones of this one, even though I am not crazy about the 80’s and 90’s fashion era.
It all started with a half price tea towel that I found at Hobby Lobby. Since I was making the girls matching outfits I needed two towels, I got both of them for $8.
I already had the fabric from years past and the eyelet lace is from my stash.
Aria’s top is a purchased T-shirt and Aniyah’s is a purchased onesie.
The bottoms are both made from a portabellopixie pattern, trimmed with faux fur and vintage lace.
Pattern for the bottoms are here:

They were super fun to make, and I was especially happy when Aria wore hers to church as she recited from memory the CHRIST~mas story from Luke 2:1:20. Way to go Aria!
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:13-14
