Megan here! :) Well at the end of January my honey and I found out some very exciting news...that we were going to be having our third baby! Baby's due date is October 11th which turns out to be 10-11-12. Kinda cool huh?
Last Thursday we set out to find out the baby's gender. Since it's a 30+ minute ultrasound we decided to leave the boys with a friend. When we dropped them off we told them when we came back we would bring a balloon in the color of the baby's gender. Pink for girl, blue for boy.
I am still in shock!!! It's hard after two boys to imagine anything but boy! But my husband, boys and I are all thrilled :)
Which leads me to some eye candy. The first thing I did when I got home was shop my fabric stash :) Found some cute and easy girl tutes via Pinterest and before you knew it I had some little girl dresses and diaper covers in the works!
Aren't they sweet?? I haven't been able to stop admiring them all week. And more poor husband. And boys...this is going to be a long summer for them! All I do is walk around with girl clothes, fabrics, and talk in a high-pitched voice :) Luckily I have Heather and my mom to talk too and some nice friend who indulge me :)
The dresses were a tutorial from the sweetest Abby at Sew Much Ado, aren't they sweet? Great tutorial, really easy to follow. The size is 0-3 months.
The diaper covers are a tutorial from Made...another great tute, several sizes given to cut out. The only thing I'd do different when I make them again is to cut the leg openings on the bias. They were extremely hard to fold in and sew without puckers. Luckily you gather them with elastic so you can't tell. I just had to add some ruffles to the bum on the red one!!
I found the perfect little trim to add to this set at Joann's. I was so happy when I saw it, the perfect little retro flowers in orange and yellow. I plan to make a simple headband with the trim too :)
The fabrics:
Blue dress: Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt
Red Bloomers: Apple of My Eye by The Quilted Fish
Orange and white set: Kitty Garden by Alexander Henry
There you have it! I've been dying to share and hopefully you had some fun seeing the girly stuff like me!! :)

how exciting! I had a girl first, then three boys, and another girl. And another boy. LOL. We like big families! I didn't sew when I was having them, so didn't get the fun of making the little dresses, but I did go bat-guano crazy on ebay, hahaha. I LOVE your little dresses. Scrumptious.

Congratulations Megan to you and family. How sweet a little girl they are certainly fun to sew for and the patterns are adorable. I have two grand sons and was hoping for a little girl but I love my boys. Many blessings for and easy pregnancy and labor.
Awwwww Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!!! You are going to have the BEST dressed daughter if today's post is any indication!!!

Congratulations, you are going to love having a girl! I have a son and daughter and they are both so wonderful... We have another one on the way too! He or she (we're going to be surprised) is set to arrive mid-November. :)
Cogratulations, Megan! Your little dresses and bloomers are socute -I'm going to have to check out those patterns for my own new granddaughter - 2 months old next Tuesday!
Congratulations to you -- I also have two boys and my youngest is a girl. So much fun sewing for her when she was little. Now she is 32 and every time she comes over she asks "what have you made lately that I can steal". Anyway, enjoy.
That is great news. I am having my 4th girl a few weeks earlier. Thanks for the tutorial links.
Congratulations Megan! Those dresses are super cute! I have 3 girls - my older two were babies before I started to sew but I am having so much fun sewing up a storm for my 3rd who is 8 months! I think I need to add those dresses to my list!
i feel like a random creepy stranger, because i'm terrible about commenting normally, but OMG congratulations!!!
that is oh-so exciting! and your dresses and bloomers are adorable! are you going to start on the next size up soon? i learned that lesson when my godson was born - he grew out of the teensy sizes so fast! within a month or two he was out of me-made clothes!
also, do you own a ruffle foot? you should put one on your gift registry!
Congratulations!
i knew you'd get lots of comments on this post! yayyyy for a girl! i need to find the bloomers i made for greta ....hmmmm. and now i wanna make her some dresses like that. soooo cute!!
congratulations! It's so much fun to have a mixture. I had a boy after two girls and, once I got over the shock, it was great (and still is!).
Have fun with the pretty :-D
Congratulations on your wonderful news! Having a little girl to make for is SO good for the old creative juices.
Hugs

Congratulations. Having a girl after 2 boys is so special and be warned expensive! :o) I also had two boys before my girls arrived. Looking forward to see what else you sew for your new little addition. hugs Sharon
Congratulations Megan!! How exciting. You're going to love having a girl :) And your dresses/covers are adorable.
Love these baby girl outfits! So darling! You'll have so much fun dressing your baby girl!
A big congratulations for you and your family - how exciting! I wish I'd had today's fabric selections back when my girl was little - I would have made so many cute things. I did make dresses and sleepers, but had to search long and hard for the right fabrics. Today the choices are easy. Well, now you won't be the only girl in the family!
Congratulations Megan!
I had a boy and after a girl! Is so good to see how different they are.
Certainly she is going to have the more beautiful dresses...
Congratulations, and have fun!
Blessings!
Megan thank you SO much for the adorable tutorials! We are expecting a little girl (our first!) at the beginning of July. I will definitely be making a few of these in the next 6 weeks!
Congratulations! We have three girls and you are right, after two of one sex it is hard to imagine anything else.
Congratulations! I never know how they can tell anything from those pictures. =) The dresses are adorable - and so coordinated. And not pink! I love it!
Congratulations!!! I had two boys and then a girl. She's my little sweetheart and my little girly pal. It's so nice for a Mummy to have a daughter, it's just a different kind of bond. I'm so impressed that you've already made clothes for her, that's something I haven't done yet and my little munchkin is turning two soon!

congratulations on your baby girl! I know the boys will just love her and she will be so spoiled! It has been nice getting to know you and your boys while visiting Amanda. I happened to be talking with her as you dropped off the boys and so was one of the first to hear the news! I am so excited for you! I am so glad that you and Amanda help each other out so. It is nice to know she has friends like you. Thanks and enjoy planning for that sweet little girl!
Congratulations! We had a girl then 2 boys (twins) - it is so mice to have a daughter to spend special time with!
well, I;m old fashion and prefer not to find out what the baby is in advance, BUT congratulations!! :) I had three girls and then a boy and it is a gear switch! LOL
so, so cute. congratulations!!! Yay!
Megan Congratulations!!! So excited for you and your family!!!
Those little dresses are just too adorable. :) Hope you're feeling well!
Awe, Congratulations! Girls are so much fun to dress up. Thanks for having me to the party, so many cool projects I'm going to check out now. Have a great week.
