This weekend I went down to Richmond for Cruz's 1st birthday smash cake photo shoot, which was my gift to his mom him. We discussed a few different outfit choices and landed on this super cute birthday outfit from Etsy. Now, if I couldn't sew, I would have been totally on board to pay the $52. Thankfully, I can and pulled together the banner, party hat, tie, and diaper cover for under $15. I purchased "Cats on Blue" by Robert Kaufman from Etsy (one of my favorite fabric sources) and used free patterns for the rest. I figured it would take a while but I was in my studio for less than two hours. He wasn't a huge fan of getting messy but he did manage to make it all the way through without fussing and I'd call that success. My cousin made the cute cake, so I can't take credit for that!
For the banner I just cut out 3 different size circles and sewed them with a 1/4" in between :)
I can't believe it's already been a whole year,
Happy birthday, sweet boy!
