Hang Ten! New Surfer Themed Birthday Outfit Added

I just love it when I have an adorable little model to show off a new product!  Mile's mommy purchased the swim trunks he's wearing from Gymboree, and asked me to make a surf themed shirt to match.  She was such a pleasure to work with -- she knew what she wanted, what she didn't want, and was very decisive when selecting the embellishing embroidery. 

The surf boards on the shirt are striped to  match the surf boards on the shorts, but the good news is that the stripes are made from fabric strips, and can be changed to match any color scheme.  The hat is pretty simple, a striped 1 (to match the surfboards), and name.  In my opinion, the real star of the hat is the twisted rick-rack trim on the bottom.   While I hate the process of twisting together two strands of rick-rack, I love, love, love the effect, and think it's totally worth the effort.  Last, but not least, a coordinating bib, striped to coordinate with the rest of the outfit, and personalized with baby's name. 

Enough of my babbling take a look at the finished product - okay, who am I kidding -- this kid is so cute I just want to nibble on his cheeks!
