Next month is my little man's first birthday and of course its going to be an extravagant backyard affair in our chosen theme...The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
My man is OBSESSED with this book! I swear I read it 60 times a day and really is very apt coz man the kid can eat! Some nights, particularly spag bog night he can put away more than his big 12 year old sis.
So the invites are all set to print and I've been chipping away at the finer details (lists, lists, lists). I thought I would share a few special things.
I briefly entertained the idea of getting him a caterpillar suit to wear but realistically I can't even get a hat on the kid 9 times out of 10 so I scrapped it and decided to get my craft on instead and decorate some clothes.
Now sewing...hmmmm...I wish so much I could sew. But I can't. I'm hopeless. But I don't care coz I love it and I don't care if its wonky or the stitches look crap.
I got some fabric panels from Spotlight and some great advice from the lovely old ducks behind the counter and gave applique a go. Here's what I have so far....
The number 1 is the back of the hoodie and I am going to put a large Caterpillar on the front. I'm just scared I'm gonna stuff it up so I keep procrastinating hahaha.
I also made my little man a special pillar to lay on at story time. It's a present so shhh dont tell him.
Ok so here are my inspirations, from Pinterest of course! Check out my board

Hmmm wonder if I can????
