Today Skye had her first modelling 'assignment' and we decided to go to the beach for her to 'strut her stuff' in a very natural environment :)
The outfit isn't for sale as it is a prototype of a new style that I've put together. Instead of a tee shirt, this top is actually a 'body' and has short puffed sleeves. The skirt is slightly different too in that it has straps which cross over at the back. Just a little bit different but a change from what I've been making. I think the applique here is a little too big, especially with the straps but that is something to work on for next time. I also haven't quite finished it because the straps, although sewn on with decorative buttons on the front, so far are only pinned on the back and the applique needs some additonal decoration/stitching. This new 'body' style eliminates any bulk at the waist and also the need for additional knickers as they are 'built in'. As per usual an outfit like this will come with socks and hairband/ribbon ties.
I hope you like it so far!
The waves are really crashing on to the beach at the moment and the walkway from the road to the sand has been partially washed away!
A couple of waves later and this rock that Skye was so ably balanced on, was covered with water and foam! (Luckily she'd moved on by then!)
