Boy! Yup! Baby number 3 is a boy. I’m excited. I would be excited if we were having a girl. I’m just really super-stoked that we’re adding another little person to our family. So. Much. Love! Here he is, the little man, just hanging out!
Naturally, I’ve already been scoping out boy patterns. We have some left over from when The Teenager was a little guy, so that helps. I’ve also been taking a look at some of the patterns that are done by indie companies like Patterns for Pirates, Sofilantjes, and Peekaboo Patterns There are a LOT of cute things out there for little guys. I’m convinced that I need to buy a newsboy cap for my little.
I’ve been gathering up “boy” fabric too. The fabrics to the left I found from various people in a fabric destashing group on Facebook. They’ll make really cute little Oxford-style shirts/bodysuits and rompers, and I plan on using the Mickey Mouse fabric to make a Peek-a-Boo Patterns Romper for the litlte man and Molly Schoolgirl skirt for the toddler. It will be a lot of fun! I’m almost 22 weeks…so I’ve got a little bit of time to sew goodies up!
Right now, I’m working on a pattern test for Little Miss Toddler. I’m looking forward to finishing it up and photographing it before I share it with you after its release.
There’s, as always, a lot going on over here! If you have favorite boy patterns (and boy fabric vendors), please share them in the comments!
Very exciting news! So many friends are having or have just had babies, so I’ve been making bibs as gifts. One of our big craft stores closed down 🙁 but on the upside they were selling out lots of quilting fats for $1 a piece, so I snaffled up quite a few boy print bargains. Can’t wait to see what you’re making.
Thank you! It’s an adventure, for sure. I’ve been looking at all kinds of boy patterns. I can’t wait to dive in and make some goodies.
That’s too bad the craft store closed down, but that’s definitley exciting news about the quilting fats for $1 a piece. 🙂
