Last summer I was sitting on the beach with Leighton’s cousin and we were chatting about my new business Allie Mac.  She told me about a girl from Savannah that started sewing for children and totally sells out in minutes.  Well, I looked her up and she is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.  Her business model, design and style had me so intrigued.  Her name is Amy and she is the designer behind brownie-goose.

She now sells her patterns here. I bought a few of her patterns even though I knew my Lawson would not wear them (she is a very opinionated dresser….i wonder where she got that trait?)  Besides Amy being such a talented designer, I loved her pattern instructions.  Y’all you want to just climb up all in the directions and have a cup of coffee and laugh.  I don’t know her, but I love her.  

So, I fell in love with her Hattie and Lake design. I made Lawson a top.  And here she is:

stop.it.right.now.

no.

wait.for.it.

Y’all, I knew I had to get in touch with Amy.  I contacted her and asked if she might like to make this into an adult pattern.  She said no, but go for it.  Little did I know how labor intensive pattern grading is.  Ahhhhhhhhhh.  

So, I renamed this the Lawson.  I did change up some of the pattern.  And I have to say it turned out precious.  And it was one of my best sellers this past Wednesday!  Please check out the back of the Lawson:

If you sew for your own children, you have to check out Amy’s Etsy store and her Facebook page.  You will love.love.love. And please tell her that Allie Mac sent you:)

P.S.  My show went great this past Wednesday!  I am just now starting to recuperate and tonight is the Taylor Swift concert:)  Whoooohoooo.  I do want to let you know what is in the works.  There will be another show here in Columbia.  And possibly a show in Decatur, Alabama.  My hometown with my bestie:)  I will also be updating my Etsy store.  So, keep checking in with Allie Mac!
