In a video shared by his dad, Aaron, on the popular TikTok account @daddyfiles, Sam surprises his dad with a gift he made by hand: a dress shirt he sewed himself, complete with buttons, a trendy pattern, and a ’70s-inspired lapel.

The heartwarming video shows Sam walking into a bedroom holding the shirt up proudly. “What you got?” Aaron asks, to which his son tells him it’s a shirt he made in sewing class. “You made that?” the dad says in amazement. “Holy crap — for me?”

@daddyfiles Sam made me a shirt! Wow.

Sam continues to explain each detail of the shirt to his dad. “I did the buttons and I did the buttonholes,” he shares, as his dad looks over the shirt with pride. When Aaron models the shirt in the mirror and shows it to Sam, the 9-year-old’s smile will melt your heart.
