I'm Back!

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

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.

retirement...........

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

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

Issues with Elastic Thread

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

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:
