Lazy Susan by Brownie Goose

/

It's been quite a while since I had a chance to review anything, and I selected one of those "oldie but goodie" patterns that truly is a closet staple. Meet The Lazy Susan from Brownie Goose.  First thing I'll mention is that this pattern is loaded with options, so it offers great value. The pattern includes the basic version which is a boatneck top/dress with flutter sleeves as well as a herringbone bodice version and a color blocked bodice version. I chose the basic version and jazzed up the bodice a little by adding a contrasting fabric and trims. The bodice is perfect for embroidery, free motion sewing, applique and HTV as well.

The pattern includes button closures, but you could always use snaps as well if you are not a fan of buttonholes. 

I borrowed a pocket from the fabulous Emory pattern from Izzy & Ivy for my little treasure collector, and paired the top with the Brownie Goose Darby Shorts (which have an equally adorable pocket you could use on both the shorts and top/dress).

I'm really happy with how this came out and the fit is really great on my daughter. 

In fact, I loved it so much I had to make 2 versions!

Brownie Goose also has a brand new release today, and it's on sale right now. Head over to BG and meet  And explore more love for Amy's patterns below.

I think everyone would agree that there are some styles that are just timeless. Clean lines that stand the test from generation to generation and only require small updates of hemlines or fabric selection to be current. To me, brownie-goose patterns fit have that timelessness that will have my daughter sewing them for her children someday, should she choose to pick up the addiction...er...hobby. And today we have the Tilly Top reviewed by Kim, with an extra bonus of the Darby Shorts for added cuteness, and more gorgeous photos by Serena.

Spring is officially here and I know I'm personally excited about all of the new patterns that are releasing from my favorite designers, as well as designers that are new to me. I'm looking forward to sewing up new items for my daughter's wardrobe and getting a chance to put together new fabric combinations. It never gets old! One garment I've already made, and plan to again, is the Lottie Skirt from brownie-goose patterns. You can also see Cassie use an element of it HERE in her Top Stitchers Cinderella entry! I know I love it, but let's see what Paige and Ren have to say about it!
