Birthdays and puppies in party hats

August marks the beginning of Birthday season for me. Okay, so my birthday is actually in September. But because it is September 11th, to make up for certain really bad things that went down on my day, I celebrate for a whole month!

I am planning a fantastically fun bash later in the month. I have even already started making my birthday outfit. So when I was sewing it the other day, I looked over at my puppy and thought, what is she going to wear?

Freepetprojects.com has an absolutely adorable solution! Pet Party Hats are so cute and super easy to make. Although, they are sew-free so not technically a “sewing” project, they are a fabric project and just too cute not to post about!
