Updates

2009-12-07T07:48:00.000-08:00

Hello All....on the countdown now. I currently have 3, yes ONLY 3 orders left to do for the Christmas season. Once I am finished with those, I will be "shutting down" for the rest of December and some of January. Have NO fear, I will be coming back....but I will be doing a lot of work on the websites, so if you are on one of my sites and it looks all funky - bare with me! There will be some changes for brownie-goose in the next year, but I will be posting some info about all that when the time comes.

Until then, Happy Holidays to all my WONDERFUL customers who keep me on my toes and are the most supportive and understanding people I can imagine. Keep those kiddos in their brownie-goose...I LOVE to see it, it just makes my day in a way you cannot even imagine!

And the Day Looks Better

2009-11-12T12:03:00.000-08:00

Okay, I was kinda starting to have one of those days that was just well, going. Nothing special, couldn't get excited about the gorgeous weather, couldn't get motivated, Pandora not giving me what I want, etc. UNTIL I get a super shout-out from a new internet friend (who I actually met kinda stalkishly) and customer. So, my day is gonna get better!

Check it out here, it helps that she has two gorgeous girls that help to model some good-ole BG!

PS - if you are in or around Fondren, no my house is not on fire....that is just the smoke coming off of Thelma and Louise. :)

No New Orders

2009-10-30T08:53:00.000-07:00

Okay, all of the Christmas orders are in and I will be hanging with Thelma & Louisa NON-stop for the next month and a half. Therefore, I will not be checking my emails as often, it may be only every other day.

If you placed a Christmas order, I will be sending an email soon about payment. I will keep posting pics on Facebook (please find brownie-goose and become a fan if you haven't already) of the orders that are done and such.

Thanks for all the understanding and support, yall are awesome!

New Dates

2009-10-27T21:07:00.000-07:00

Okay everyone...WOW is all I can say as for the popularity of the Christmas line. I have had way more orders than I ever imagined. I am going to have to bump up the deadline a bit to October 29 since I will be traveling around Thanksgiving and want to make sure to have everyone's orders done in a timely fashion.

Thanks for your understanding!

Just some FAQ's...

2009-10-25T09:51:00.000-07:00

Okay, the Christmas line is BOOOMING, I mean BOOMING. In the meantime, I am trying to finish up all of the Fall orders. I will not be starting on Christmas orders for another week or two, but PROMISE to have them all out in plenty of time.

As for emails, I am checking them once a day. I am getting about 50 emails at a time, so it takes me some time in sitting down and getting to them all. It is usually after I get everyone fed dinner, bathed and put in the bed, so I may not sit down at the computer until 12:30 or 1. So, if you haven't heard from me in 48 hours, there is a chance I don't have your email, so just shoot me a note asking if I got it.

Thanks again for everyone's love of brownie-goose, yall are what keep me going!

Here Comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus...

Right on down brownie-goose’s way, hooray!

Christmas is right around the corner, and there is no time like the *present* to get your child decked out in the most stylish clothes from BG.

Here are the offerings for this year. I have a great collection of fun, colorful and of course funky fabrics that all coordinate so that you can mix and match until the cows come home. I put a fun edge on the appliqué designs just to give it that extra tough that my brownie-goose kiddos love so much.

But, you have to HURRAY. I am only accepting Christmas orders from October 25 to October 29. So, get your email in! I am currently still holding on orders that are NOT Christmas. Click here to go to my Christmas page on my website.

For the shirts – I have 3 different designs. What you can do is mix and match with the fabrics for the designs, or you can just request it designed as “default” and you will get exactly what you see.

1. oh Christmas tree – just a spin off of last years that will leave you singing, oh Christmas tree how funky are your branches?
2. tangled mess – this time it actually is fun to get the lights into a mess
3. tree farm – bringing home the old pine on top of a vintage car

Christmas ’09 appliquéd long-sleeve shirt $16

For the bottoms – I can do pants for the boys with or without cuffs, whatever your preference. For the girls, we can do the ruffle pants with a single or double ruffle or you can add ric rac. I will not make pants out of the green chenille. Once again, feel free to mix and match the fabrics for the most fun.

Christmas ’09 bottoms, girl or boy $16
For the girls – to add a double ruffle, the price is $20
To add ric-rac, the price is $18

And just for kicks, the most perfect Christmas dress EVER done in holiday chevron with red ric-rac on the bottom. $30

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any questions and orders, BEFORE OCTOBER 29!

crazy busy!

2009-10-21T22:25:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, just in case you got concerned...no, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Hehe. It has just been bonkers here with the fall line!

Some exciting news, before the next week I will debut my Christmas line...so get excited. It is full of funk and bright colors and a little bit of vintage as well. I will only be taking orders for that for a limited time, so make sure you check your emails and keep checking the blog for that specific time.

More exciting news, I finally got around to creating a page on Facebook for brownie-goose. I have had a group for a while, but don't think it is very user-friendly, so I created the page. Please search for me and find me and become a fan so you can get updates of pictures, events, fun stuff, etc.

2009-09-24T19:42:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone...just a little update. My turn-around right now is running about 4 weeks. I have over 75 orders that I am working on trying to get them out as soon as I can. Thanks for all the support, patience and understanding. This is such a great feeling for me that so many people like my designs, it just means the world to me!

Back at It

2009-09-21T13:30:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess the title of my post suggests that I stopped at one point, but we all know better than that. I have been trucking along sewing with Thelma and Louise and getting orders shipped and delivered. Thanks again for everyone's patience and support through this busy time. I am still running about 2-3 weeks on turn-around time.

Exciting news for brownie-goose!! My very own sewing room is just minutes (well, not really) from being finished. Soon, I will have my own headquaters so that I am no longer working out of the dining room, guest room and a combination of the two. I am so excited that I just cannot stand it! Don't worry, whether you want them or not, I will definitely be posting some pictures once it is all finished. :)

Here are some recent orders:

Green Beads - pants & appliqued shirt, $28

Seeing Spots - pants & appliqued shirt, $28 (this set is done with the cuff being the same fabric, I usually use a contrasting fabric)

Orders Up & Updates

2009-08-31T09:08:00.000-07:00

Okay, let me first just say that things have been hopping here at brownie-goose. Thelma and Louise have been working overtime and things have been shipping and being picked up every time I turn around! I keep getting a ton of emails wondering when I will open orders back up and let me just break it down. I am finally getting somewhat caught up, somewhat being the key word here. I have had about 70+ orders since I debuted the fall line, which is just amazing. It has also been keeping me at it since I am the only one sewing for brownie-goose, and I am also a stay-at-home Mom, so basically...I sew when she sleeps. Which, her sleeping is a whole other story. So, needless to say, my turn-around took a beating and I just needed a chance to try and catch up on things. Now for more exciting news, my sewing room is starting to take shape. The HVAC and electricians are coming this week, and Byron is off next week so we are going to try and knock it all out in that week. So, I think what I am going to do is keep orders on hold until Sunday, Sept. 13th so that I will hopefully be able to get caught up and be free to help out with the construction of the sewing room. It also is going to take me some time getting it organized. I really appreciate everyone's understanding. If you just want to go ahead and get the order in so you don't forget...that is fine, email me but understand that I won't be getting to it ASAP. I will keep updating everyone on the status of their orders, and if you are interested at all, I may keep updating my family blog with the sewing room status. You can check that out here....http://amysnorris.blogspot.com

Okay, now for more fun things...some recent orders:

Custom - ruffle pants & appliqued shirt, $28

Custom - ruffle pants & appliqued shirt, $28

A Sewing Machine

2009-08-06T10:18:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, I have had such a great response to the fall line! Yay, I have been at the sewing machine as often as I can and am trying to get the orders out quickly. I will add just a few pics with this post, but I don't want to duplicate as I have had TONS of orders for the Molly & Ginger dresses. As always, email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders and questions. I check my email once a day, so if you haven't heard back, I will be getting to you!

2009-07-25T21:24:00.000-07:00

It is finally here! Yippee, hooray!

I have some great fabrics on the line-up as well as some new patterns that I think you are going to like. I am working on getting pictures of them all...but in the meantime, check out the new fabrics at www.browniegoose.com.

New to the line up are the:
1. Molly Dress - this dress features a v-neck with wide, gathered straps and a gathered bustline. Looks absolutely adorable with the ruffle pant, which now can either get some wide ric rac or a double ruffle.

2. Ginger Dress - boho at it's best. A dress with tiered ruffles and knotted straps that are just begging to be topped (or bottomed should I say) with a pair of double-ruffled pants!

3. The Chapman - a new spin on the old john john. This time it has a squared neck and resembles some overalls.

4. I have ordered a long-sleeve shirt for the girls that has a scalloped bottom to give them a more feminine feel. However, they are only in certain sizes, and since I haven't gotten them in the mail just yet...I am not sure on sizes, but will let you know.
5. You asked for it...matching brother and sister prints. The Oh Happy Day and Seeing Spots are one and Jelly Beans and Fall Blossom are the others. Yippee!

The introduction of brownie-points. You asked for them, now they are here. brownie-points are the equivalent of a gift card to your oh-so-fave children's clothing line. These are available in any monetary amount, just email me and I will get them shipped to you or the recipient!

As for turn-around, I am the sole seamstress here, raising a toddler at the same time, so please allow 2-3 weeks for turn-around on your custom order. It may be quicker, just depending on how the orders are stacking up, but just to give you an idea.

Email me with any questions and orders at browniegoose@hotmail.com

Just a little Spoiler

2009-07-22T13:21:00.000-07:00

Alrighty now. In the South, we LOVE some fall football. Why not have the most stylish kiddo walking around your tailgate sporting your fave team's colors?

brownie-goose introduces it's SEC line for the Fall. I have a limited amount of fabric, so it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. I also do not have all of the SEC teams included, this in no means is partial - I just bought what they had the day that I was fabric shopping.

Check out my website to see what all the fuss is all about. Get your orders in soon, you don't want to miss out!

I'm Back!

2009-06-09T20:06:00.000-07:00

Well, it seems like it has been forever since I have sat down and uploaded and updated. I had a good break, I did not get as much done as I had hoped (blame it on the sunshine, the lack of motivation, miller-time and a great book) but enjoyed the break. I have some SUPER fun new patterns to debut, and I finally got around to getting pictures. But some changes you may and may not notice, I sat down and finally uploaded and linked all of the new sizing charts on my site and also the blog. So now, you know exactly what pattern is going for what and some examples of the clothing. I am still waiting on some pictures, and instead of overwhelming the mess out of myself, I will just wait for the samples to get some pictures up.

Okay, so no more waiting. Let me debut the Claire, the Annie and the Evelyn. I am so excited that I just can't stand it.

The Claire - a super fun halter top perfect for the summer. It can be made as a top & paired with bottoms or as a dress. It is way cute!

The Annie - from the same pattern as the tie-back, but this one features two buttons that attach towards the top of the back.

The Evelyn - this one was inspired by a VIP, and the name reflects that (you know who you are) and is a fun tube top with a large fabric bow that can be made as a top to pair with bottoms or as a dress.

Also, got some great new fabric while I was in Savannah. I haven't checked around on the web for it, so it may be in limited quantities, but I will let everyone know. Click here to see it.

I am happy to announce that the john-john is back in business here at brownie-goose. I found a pattern that is WAY better than the one that I used to sew from. However, I will give a word of warning, please pay close attention to the shoulder to crotch measurement, this seems to be where I have to add length the majority of the time, and don't know that I need to unless you ask me! It is super cute with the option of adding side button flaps for an extra $2.

If you have sent me a picture of your star and haven't seen it up yet - don't worry, I still have it, but I haven't sat down to upload all of them. My laptop crashed about a month ago, so we are now a one computer household, and now our one computer is on its last leg......so, I try and minimize the things that I have to do on it.

I also have some great ideas for the fall line, so get excited!

This and That

2009-05-19T21:13:00.000-07:00

First order, I posted 2 new fabrics just now. Check them out. Click here.

Second, I have a new pants pattern and promise to get it posted soon as for the sizing charts. I am hoping to get a lot of work done on my sites over my break this coming week. It is super cute (I have actually been sewing from it for about a month) it is a wider leg for the girlies with a super fat ruffle on the bottom (I have been known to call it the ruffle on crack). For the machos - I have a slimer fit than the girl's pants so they need no extra flare. :) Also, I have a new pattern for a girls top that looks like the tie-back but it buttons instead of ties, I am hoping to sew an example over the break and get creative with a name and post some pics. Get excited!!! Also, when I am in Savannah I am hoping to do some Fall '09 shopping, I have already seen a few I want and am so excited I could scream! I am hoping to find some new fun patterns too.

2009-05-14T18:39:00.000-07:00

Into the vault goes the ever popular Country Club print. I just got word from my supplier that they do not have any of this fabric left - I can see why, it was awesome. I am able to fill all orders that I have in my inbox as of now, except for one and I emailed that customer.

Sorry Charlie!!

A Little Bit of This, and a Little Bit of That

2009-05-12T21:26:00.000-07:00

Hey all - I know it has only been a week, but for me it seems like I haven't blogged in like a month. It has been crazy here at brownie-goose, and I have just been trucking along. Just wanted to update everyone on a few things - first and foremost, a break on the way. My little sister is getting married in a few weeks, and I (and Louisa and brownie and goose, the dogs) will be traveling home to Savannah, Ga. for the fun and festivities. I will be bringing along my sewing to keep up, but will be taking a break from NEW orders while I am down there, or over there - my geography isn't up to par. NO NEW ORDERS FROM MAY 21 TO JUNE 7. Now, if you and I have already discussed something and you just haven't emailed me - that is fine, I am usually good at remembering. If in this time you are about to wet your pants and need something brownie-goose, email me and see if it is something that I may can pull off.

Second, I got a new pattern for a john john that came highly recommended. I have yet to try it out, but am keeping my fingers crossed. I am still putting a hold on the orders for them since I am not sure yet if the pattern will work, but all of you out there with boys - keep 'em crossed for me too!

Here are just a few shout-outs for brownie-goose, thanks yall for feedback, I love it!

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outfit for [child's name]!! Wish she was here to try it on!! Thank you! I want to order more! haha I will check with the hubby first!" - btw, apparently brownie-goose is getting many girls in trouble with the hubbies, I always have requests for me not to tell the boys. :)

"I just wanted to let you know that I got my order last week! ADORABLE! Love 'em as always! Thank you!"

"Love them! Your the best:-)"

"Love, love, love the clothes!! Thanks"

"i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's perfect as is everything you make!!!!! you are so fast!!!"

How 'bout them apples! :)

And, just a few of the recent orders:

Brownie-Blue - shorts & shirt, $26

Geometry 101 - shorts & shirt, $26

Blue Mod - tie-back top & bloomers, $28

As always, email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders and questions.

Issues with Elastic Thread

2009-05-06T10:45:00.000-07:00

Okay, it has been brought to my attention that one of the spools of the elastic thread that I used (it is black, so on the inside of your garment you will see black thread) for the peasant dress and peasant tops is not functioning correctly and making the neck-line fit funky. If you have this issue with your top - please let me know and I can fix it for you by just replacing it with the elastic thread that I regularly use. I was in a bind and picked up another kind one time thinking they were all the same, apparently not!

Sorry and just let me know if yours is one that is fitting funky!

Business as Usual

2009-04-30T21:43:00.000-07:00

Okay, first business: sad news for brownie-goose right now, I am not taking orders for john-johns at the moment. I am in the works of trying to find a pattern that actually fits these kiddos and doesn't require an engineer to try to manipulate. I will let everyone know when I can get this figured out, and am sorry but want to make sure that I can outfit my kiddos in the best fit!

Next order, check out some of these cutie pies, my stars!

I mean, just adorable. My friend Kristen would say she could eat them!

Okay, I have posted some new fabrics - well, only 3 (now that Quilt Arts is gone, I have been on my best behavior). Check them out by clicking here.

Here are some recent orders:

Vintage Truck applique in Country Club

Blue Mod Smock & Bloomers, $28

Blue Mod A-line top & Bloomers, $26

Blue Mod A-line dress, $26

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any quesitons or orders.

I AM a Sewing Machine

2009-04-25T21:23:00.000-07:00

Yep - the Summer line is off the chain here at brownie-goose and the sewing machine has been running wild, but I am loving all these new pretty fabrics! Keep the orders coming! I am averaging a week and a half at the most for turnaround after payment is received...............so just keep that in mind when ordering. However, if you have a time crunch - PLEASE let me know and chances are I can probably work with you!

Just to update since one of my fave customers told me she was having withdrawals......... You know who you are girl. :)

Here are some new photos of orders:

Little Miss Priss - smock & bloomers, $28

Blue Mod - Lucy top & ruffle shorts, $26

Red Prep - shorts & appliqued shirt, $26

309-6 - Birthday Bloomers (first birthday to eat cake and take pictures), $14

Mad Plaidder - shorts & appliqued shirt, $26

Blue Mod - peasant top & capris, $28 (by the way, I think this is my FAVORITE fabric so far. I love funky and vintage and this is all about it while having a modern edge. LOVE IT!!!)

And of course................some of my shining stars!

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any questions and orders.

A Sewing Machine

2009-04-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

Alright, been sewing away like crazy on the new Summer line - but am trying not to put up too many repeat pics, so if you don't see your order on here, don't worry because it doesn't mean it hasn't been done! I usually will put up orders that show all the styles and variety that I can do, etc.

First, let me show off some of these darling stars!

Okay, my personal fave - yep, she is mine showing off a peasant dress with ruffle at the bottom in Blue Mod.

Two for one! Doesn't get any better than this!

Precious!!!

All dressed and ready to go in some custom brownie-goose.

Birthday cuteness at its best!

And now for some recent orders.

This is an example of the new a-line top that is paired in this photo with ribbon-tie bloomers. Sorry, I do not have any of this fabric left, and also the monogramming was done out of house (http://initiallyyoursmonogramming.blogspot.com/), $26

Country Club Shorts & Appliqued Shirt, $26 (this fabric is FLYING out of my fabric closet - so if you want this particular print, PLEASE don't hesitate in ordering!)

Snakes & Snails Appliqued Shirt, $14 (FYI - for appliqued names, 6 letter is about the max that I can fit on a shirt)

Tutti-Fruity Tie-Back with Ruffled Capris, $28

Tutti-Fruity Pillowcase Dress with Ruffle Pants, $28

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with orders or questions!

The Debut of Summer 09

2009-04-08T21:27:00.000-07:00

It is finally here! Yay! I thought it would never get here because of the hold-ups with fabric stores closing, the discontinuing of fabrics and one getting lost in the mail.............but it has arrived, and here they are!

Not only does brownie-goose have an amazing collection of fabrics for Summer 09, but there are also some new patterns for the girlies, scroll down to the next post to check them out.

You can visit my fabric blog to see the collection by clicking here, or you can visit my website by clicking here. Needless to say, they are brand-new and I haven't had orders on many to even get up sample pics! Don't delay..........order yours today!

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders and questions!

FUN new patterns!

2009-04-07T21:48:00.000-07:00

Alright, we all know that I have a little girl that I get a little obsessed with making clothes for.........obviously, I started a business out of it! Anyways, I am always trying to come up with new patterns that I don't see everywhere, and sometimes just your fun, classic get-ups. Well, I have succeeded at coming up with 3 more additions to the girl's collection. Here is their debut:

The tie-back top (pair it with a pair of bottoms for $28)

The Lucy top (this is made from a pillowcase top and has a cinched waist, pair it with some bottoms for $26)

The Kate top (this also comes as a dress for $28, or you can pair the top with bottoms for the same price) - I HAVE to have an accurate chest measurement for this style.

I feel bad about leaving the boys out...............but if anyone has any ideas for new boy patterns, PLEASE let me know! I definitely will welcome some ideas! I just don't have one, and therefore am clueless when it comes to them!

Here is a new order, smock and bloomers out of 309-3.

And some stars....................

How gorgeous is this little girl?

If I were the Easter Bunny, I would put this little cutie in my own basket!

PS - I haven't forgotten about the Summer line. I have everything done, but am waiting on one fabric. It just happens to be one of my most faves too! Don't worry, I will let you know when it is all debuting!

Spoiler Alert!

2009-04-02T21:28:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just couldn't stand it! I had to put some of them up! I don't have all of the Summer 09 up yet - but you can check out a sneak peek at my new fabric blog. Click here for the peek!

Plus - I added more fabrics after my LAST trip ever to Quilt Arts. Check them out on the fabric blog.........just scroll on down! And, make sure to bookmark my fabric blog so that you can continue to get updates!

Yay! Great News!

2009-04-02T14:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, I have FINALLY finished all of my seaching and shopping for the Summer '09 line! It is full of fun, funk, prep, sweet and sass! I cannot wait to debut it, but I think it will be next week before I am able to get all of the internet work and pictures done since I have my 2 year old's birthday party this weekend. Get excited!!!

Orders, Stars & Spoiler Alerts

2009-03-31T20:33:00.000-07:00

Wow - it feels like forever since I have posted anything here! Although I am on Spring Break this week, I had a moment and decided to update the blog. This post will have all sorts of things, from new orders to stars to some summer spoilers!

First of all I have to say how deeply saddened I am to know that Quilt Arts is closing. The place was a delight for me, I spent hours (not to mention hundreds) in there. They had the BEST selection of fabric that I could ever ask for, sigh............

Needless to say, I was hoping to have my Summer collection out this weekend, but since some of that fabric was ordered from a closed store...............it may be a while longer while I back-track and try to relocate some of the fabric choices, so bear with me - but brownie-goose's Summer line is all about fun, and some preppy for the boys! Keep checking back, and if you are on the mailing list - I will shoot out an email when the Summer line is up!

Here are some recent orders.......................

This is a burp cloth and bib set for "the house divided." One of the parents went to Ole Miss, the other Auburn, and my creative friend Julie (visit her blog at http://myhappychappy.blogspot.com/) came up with the idea to do "dueling" burp cloths! How cute!

brownie-goose birthday shirt & shorts, $26

Mums the Word (Summer SPOILER) smock and bloomers, $28

Boho Chic Burp Cloth & Bib, personalized, $17

Hand embroidered shirt, $14 (ps - I don't have ANY of this fabric left)

Speaking of not having any of this fabric left, I am sorry to put this photo up here bc the fabric REALLY is adorable, but I wanted to show this photo because it gives the detail of the smock back - something that is hard to see in regular photos.........so, this is what the back of the smock looks like.

Personalized Burp Cloth & Bib, $17

Personalized Bib, $11

Stars....................

A brownie-goose first, a sweet little sleeping star!

Say Cheese!

Some matching St. Patty's days girls.

Sweet, sweet smile.

So get excited about summer and email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders, questions or requests to join the mailing list!

Spring Break

2009-03-21T18:57:00.000-07:00

Okay - I will be taking a short break for Spring. I will not be taking new orders during the week of Sunday March 29th. I will resume taking orders on Sunday April 5th. I will continue to work on current orders, but my husband has the week off and we have our work cut out for us building a playhouse for Louisa who turns 2 on the 30th. I also have family traveling in to stay for her party on the 4th, so I have to take down my sewing room (the dining room) temporarily. If you still want an Easter shirt, but haven't had a chance to order yet - please try to get your order in this week so I can get it out to you!

Thanks everyone!!!
Amy

You Asked for It!!!

2009-03-18T20:20:00.000-07:00

Okay - for the many people that have asked and requested, thanks for being patient!! I have finally sat down and uploaded pictures and tried to do inventory of my fabric closet. If anyone ever sees this closet, one would understand the task at hand and the need to be overwhelmed!

I have created a blog in which I will display all of the fabrics that I have on hand. I am going to try my BEST to keep it updated and try to get out my camera as soon as I get new fabrics and delete them as soon as they are retired. TRY being the key-word here!

I resisted the urge to name EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, so if you see one you like, email me about it and just tell me the day of the post and try and describe it! :)

Check it out, and feel free to put it on your blog list to watch for updates!

Killing a few Birds with One Stone

2009-03-10T21:37:00.000-07:00

So, I really don't like the title of this post, but I couldn't think of another way to put it. I really would never kill a bird, especially with a stone, but I think this saying is fairly old. Needless to say, this post has a star, a new order and some testimonials!

Repeat offender star modeling Boho Chic

Everyone thank my talented and creative friend Julie (visit her blog at http://myhappychappy.blogspot.com) for wanting an Easter Bunny shirt for boys - so here is one with a blue furry tail.

Go ahead brownie-goose and toot that horn with some testimonials:

"The outfits made by Brownie-Goose are simply amazing! I have ordered 12 outfits from Brownie-Goose and I LOVE every single one of them! Amy is so sweet and accommodating to all my needs/wants! The outfits are NOT just thrown together but made with care! I'm so happy I found Brownie-Goose and will definitely be ordering tons more as the prices are unbeatable!

Thank you so much, Amy, for sharing your wonderful talent!"

"The outfits are adorable!!!!!!!! Thanks! I will be sure to keep checking your site to see the summer fabrics!"

For the Love of Onesie.......

2009-03-06T20:48:00.000-08:00

Okay, so for anyone who was in a 5 mile radius the last time that I appliqued a onesie..........well, let's just say I had to do some washing of my mouth with soap. After that, I swore I would never do a onesie again for brownie-goose. Well, that was until some sweet friends placed an order (they were grandfathered in because they ordered before the onesie incident) for something that I had not done before, but had been wanting to. A hand-embroidered onesie. Too cute, and too desirable!

This makes the PERFECT baby gift (well, this and my burp cloths and bibs that is)! Since it is custom, the wording and color possibilities are endless! This is a new trend that is slowly making its way back in style (for those of you who care, Suri Cruise had a hand-embroidered onesie, yep - thanks to my people.com addiction I know that).

So, needless to say, the onesie has been allowed back into brownie-goose, no more exile. So, email me today at browniegoose@hotmail.com with orders!

The hand-embroidered onesie is $14 and you choose the color and wording!

PS - this hand-embroidery can be done on shirts for the tots too!

Orders Up!

2009-03-01T21:02:00.000-08:00

Okay, so before I show you some of the recent orders, I wanted to share a picture that is very important to brownie-goose. The namesake, my 2 labs, Mallard & Lucy - who we call Brownie and Goose, are my life. I love them. You can see their photo on the right side of the blog under "brownie-goose namesake." That photo was taken back when we lived in Georgia and we had just recently rescued Goose, so she was like 6 or 7 months.........way before she grew into the 124 lb. horse she is now. Well, the other night, they were both sleeping on the same couch together again (the animals rule the house here) and I had to take the picture. Honestly, Lucy (Goose, the black lab on the left) could EAT Mallard (Brownie, the chocolate on the right). Crazy how they grow!

Now on to some recent orders................

Easter Bunny & Ruffle Pants, $26

Yikes Stripes John John, $28

Snakes & Snails Shorts & Appliqued Shirt, $26

Oh-La-La Smock & Bloomers, $28

For sizes, I use Rabbit Skins blanks (some people say these run small) and will have sizes 12 mo to 5. I will no longer be doing applique on a onesie, until I get an embroidery machine - if that happens. The last onesie applique lead to a HUMONGO temper tantrum................

I can make it an outfit by adding shorts for the boys and girls, or a ruffle pant for the girls, $26. Just let me know in your order.

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders!

Nope, not brownie-goose, but one of it's most popular fabrics is retiring! I have ordered all of the Pink Blossom that I could find and am sorry to say that as of right now it is going into the retirement vault.........

I have enough for all of the orders that have been placed up through just now, but will not be offering this print any longer. Sorry for any inconveniences!

The road to Stardom

2009-02-17T20:32:00.000-08:00

Okay.........this little girl is giving my little girl a run for her money as a brownie-goose star! Let me tell you just how cute she is:

So, she wanted to wear her brownie-goose Valentine's shirt to school, and her Mom was about to leave and the little girl reminded her that she needed to take a picture for the brownie-goose star! I could eat her, how cute is that!!!??? She would definitely be my "priceless" kiddo..........scroll down to figure out what I am talking about!

The Debut of the Smock

2009-02-08T21:16:00.000-08:00

This is a Spring and Summer MUST for the girls. It is styled like the a-line dress (what a classic) but with a twist, a criss-cross to be exact in the back. It is open and airy for those hot summer days. This pattern is so popular that it has been around FOREVER, I had smocks when I was little! Once again, brownie-goose brings out a classic. Think Audrey Hepburn with some funk!

Add this staple to your little girl's wardrobe. This is shown in the Pink Blossom fabric, but I can do this style out of the majority of my fabric collections.

Smock with Shorts or Ruffle Pants $28

Look closely at the back to see the criss-cross design. You can actually click on this photo for a larger image.

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with orders.

PS - Scroll down, once again while the rest of the world sleeps..........brownie-goose goes strong, I made a few posts tonight.

Wipe your Hands, Please.

2009-02-08T21:07:00.000-08:00

New to brownie-goose............appliqued hand towels. Don't have the money to renovate the kitchen? It is okay, brownie-goose has you covered! This is a great inexpensive way to spice up your kitchen!

No, they are not children's clothes......but I figured I would throw something in there to make the mama's happy too. Because we all know, if mama's not happy.........

Let me know what colors you are looking for and I will find a fabric that matches. As for the applique, I can do crosses (as shown), your initial or whatever you have in mind.

For a set of 2 (the appliques and fabrics don't have to be the same) the price is $12.

Did I mention that these make terrific gifts?

Appliqued Valentine's Shirt $14 (long and short sleeves)

oops....excuse me!

Remember those days when it was okay that you burped out loud or threw-up, in fact, sometimes it was even funny! Although we've all outgrown that (some of us that is) brownie-goose can now outfit those for whom it is still appropriate!

New (well only by finally getting up on the web) to brownie-goose are the "oh-so-handy" burp cloth and bib set. This makes a WONDERFUL baby gift (in fact, it is usually what I bring to baby showers :)) for that special someone that is about to add to the family!

I can do any fabric that you see on my site. For the girls, of course there are fun things like ribbon and ric-rac! I also can hand embroider names or initials (extra $2) to personalize. I do not have pictures of the embroidery yet, but maybe I will go through Louisa's closet and take pictures of the things I have done for her. It is a unique way to personalize.

The burp cloth and bib sets are $12, $19 with personalization.

Peasants and Flares

So, here I am debuting two of my new patterns. The peasant top and the wide-leg pant with double ruffle (can be done with single, double or triple ruffle). This is done out of the Pink Blossom fabric with coordinating print. The peasant top can also be made as a dress with coordinating band or ruffle at the bottom, give me some time and I will get a photo up of that one. The sleeves do not always have to be a different fabric, I just had a little extra pep in my step the day I made this one. :)

Peasant Top with Ruffle Pants $28
For double ruffle, add $2
For triple ruffle, add $4.

"brownie-goose was open to ideas, had fun fabrics and very quickly filled the order with reasonable pricing!!!"

"Not only was the dress adorable but it was the fastest service we have ever had on a custom made dress!"

"I ordered outfits from brownie-goose for my grandson and granddaughter for Christmas. They loved them as did their parents and look absolutely adorable in them. This picture should prove what I say."

"I just wanted to write and let you know how very pleased I am with my order! The fabrics were absolutely adorable and the workmanship was perfection! I love finding unique clothes for my little girl, and your website is quite a discovery! AND -- the turn-around time was super fast!! Just wanted to say a quick "thank you" for the precious clothes and let you know that I look forward to ordering from you again!"

"I had a wonderful experience with brownie-goose. I ordered one of the A-line dresses. After e-mailing my little girl's measurements, the dress was ready in no time. My little girl and I love the dress. She immediately wanted to put it on and dance around. The fabric was so cute, perfect for the spring. It was also very original. I would recommend brownie-goose to anyone. In fact I myself will be placing more orders soon."

"I found brownie-goose through a blog and immediately had to order from it. The website was great and I fell in love with all of the items offered. I sent Amy an e-mail and got a quick response back. Brownie-goose offers so many cute items and has great customer service. I wasn't familiar with PayPal, so she let me send in my check and 3 days later I received the cutest dress! And I don't even have kids :) I will definitely be ordering from brownie-goose again and would refer anyone looking for cute kids clothes to browse her blog! Thanks Amy, I know your dress will be such a great hit!"

"It's perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"brownie-goose outfitted my child in a one-of-a-kind, made with him in mind, adorable outfit. Everyone, and I mean everyone, comments on how cute the clothes are. And, for me it's tough to find really great things that aren't too expensive. Brownie Goose is just the answer! Thanks Amy for sharing your talent with us!"

Snakes and Snails

2008-11-30T18:00:00.000-08:00

So, I have a little girl. I always said I wasn't going to get into the whole pink thing - but I did. Louisa is always in pink and girly and all that goo that I said wouldn't be me. But I never realized until just recently how lost I would be if I had a boy. There are so few cute boy fabrics out there. Sure, you can find TONS of cowboy, firemen, airplanes, etc. But seriously.......our boys need to be just as fashionable as girls.

Here are a few of my new "boy" fabrics. I can do a solid pant with a pattern around the hem and a patterned pocket. I can also either initial a shirt with an appliqué or ask me, give me ideas for other appliqués (ie. frogs, dinosaurs, cowboy boots, caterpillars, etc) and I can see what I can do.

The fabrics are a navy blue solid with an Alexander Henry 2-D Zoo (which is by far one of my most faves ever!), a multi-colored blue stripe, a multi-colored blue stripe with brown and a geometric with blue. I can always do these with the light blue corduroy as seen in "Not your Mama's corduroy dress" or brown corduroy with the patterned edging and pockets.

Email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com for any questions or to place an order.

Just wanted to post some pictures of 2 recent orders that I have done. These are two that I do not have on the blog originally. So, get inspired........please email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com if you have a combination that you think would rock your child.

I have just gone and gotten more fabrics for the spring and second half of the winter, I hope to get examples posted soon.

Also, turn it up and enjoy the holiday music. It will make you feel just like you were in a store shopping! :)

Your chance at Stardom

2008-11-23T18:01:00.000-08:00

Okay, so just came up with an idea that I thought would be super cute. For those of you who order from brownie-goose, if you can, get a picture of that cute little one of yours in their brownie-goose best and send it in. I will feature them on the site. How fun is that? No names to protect the innocent. Email the pictures to browniegoose@hotmail.com.

By the way, I will be in Kentucky over the Thanksgiving holidays - I will have access to email, but not my sewing machine. So, please still order and I will get started on your creation as soon as I get home. Also, I am pulling extra hours at the machine so I can get all of your Christmas goodies out on time!

Not your mamma's corduroy dress!

2008-11-16T18:40:00.000-08:00

Who says corduroy has to be brown and boring.............NOT brownie-goose!This winter, make the best of this classic fabric in a funky dress for your little girl. There are many spins on the a-line dress that I can make in sizes 3 month to 3T. Please see the sizing chart at the bottom of the blog for proper sizing info.

The "Not your mamma's corduroy dress" is made of corduroy with a fun and trendy upgrade. You can choose to add a coordinating ruffle at the bottom that will match the fabric-covered buttons, or chose to have a bright ribbon around the hem (if available.) Please see fabric and color choices below, and as always - I am open to ideas, I am not the only designer in the world!

Pink cords with a green/pink paisly, brown and pink polka-dot or a green and white polka-dot ribbon. I can even applique your child's initial on this one.

Brown cords with pink and brown criss-cross, small pink floral, green and orange floral, blue and brown check or brown, blue and pink ribbon. I can even applique your child's initial on this one.

Blue cords with blue and purple design, or brown, blue and pink ribbon. I can even applique your child's initial on this one.

For the Christmas season, green cords with green and white stripe or snowflake. I can even applique your child's initial on this one, or applique the Christmas tree as shown in "Oh Christmas Tree."

For the Christmas season, red cords with red and white stripe or snowflakes, or a green and white polka-dot ribbon. I can even applique your child's initial on this one, or applique the Christmas tree as shown in "Oh Christmas Tree."

To place an order, or if you have any questions, please email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com.

'Tis the season........for plaid!

2008-11-15T15:23:00.000-08:00

Here is your chance for your little one to look oh-so-fab in a plaid a-line dress, perfect for the winter season. This a-line dress is a classic, a perfect design to wear with a turtleneck and a pair of tights. Pottery Barn Kids had these featured, and they look SO precious monogrammed, but I do not have monogramming capabilities.....yet that is. :) But, once again, we are in the South, and it seems there are places around every corner that monogram.

I have 3 fabrics, and unfortunately I have a only a limited amount of the gray plaid left. These dresses are fully lined and have buttons that match the fabric. The sizing guide for the a-line is on the sizing guide at the bottom of the blog. I can do from 3 months to 3T for this dress style.

Here are my other 2 fabrics. One is a pink and brown plaid with a small green stripe. The other is pink and black. Both classics.

Here is a close-up of button details.

To place an order, please email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com and specify the size and fabric that you would like.
