Announcement!

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:
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!! :)

  4. 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.

  36. 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!

  43. 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!

  49. 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!

  50. 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!
