The Sammy Bag… Regenerated

Posted on November 15, 2018 by Erin Erickson | 19 Comments

Sammy and I have just finished an entire re-write of the Sammy Bag Dog Sling pattern! This was one of my very first patterns, written back in 2010, and my writing style has improved significantly since then and I felt it was deserving of an update. It has been on the “someday” list for a while, but obviously it’s not…

Posted on September 20, 2018 by Erin Erickson | 1 Comments

Your response over the weekend to the Zip Around Town Wallet has been overwhelming. So many of you have already made and shared your wallets in the Facebook group and they all look fantastic. I kind of love that most of you are not afraid to cut into your “good” fabric with one of my patterns, because that’s absolutely my…

It’s here!!! I am so excited to introduce the Zip Around Town Wallet! This long awaited Zip Around Town Wallet is FINALLY here! And I mean FINALLY. Over the years, I’ve been repeatedly asked to create a zip around wallet. And occasionally, I would have an idea, and try it out, and fail. And eventually I became an expert in how NOT…

Here it is, Spring Fling! Your perfect spring bag!! We have gone from three feet of snow in April to t-shirts and flip flops in just a matter of days. I was so excited to get out and photograph the new bag with flowers and sunny skies! The background story behind this bag is short and sweet. I…

Introducing the Flip Flop Wallet Sewing Pattern! I am absolutely thrilled to release my first sewing pattern of the year, the Flip Flop Wallet! Yes, the entire past 2+ months have been spent prototyping this wallet (I found 19 of them, but I know there are more!), and then choosing and writing all of the options in a way that…

Happy New Year! Welcome 2018!

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Erin Erickson | 20 Comments

December 31st… New Year’s Eve… A chance to kind of reflect on the year. While my precious work hours are spent prototyping and pattern writing these days instead of blogging, a blog does seem like the perfect place for this. At the last minute of course, since Emmett somehow knows everyone else is staying up late tonight! I released four…

Introducing… The Encore Clutch

It is a beautiful, breezy day here in Sydney and I am thrilled to finally announce the Encore Clutch is now available! I’ve been on a smaller bag kick lately because of my back, and the Sunrise Saddle Bag has been such a hit that I thought staying on the smaller end for a while might be a good thing…

Sunrise Saddle Bag Tester Photos

If you haven’t already seen, the new Sunrise Saddle Bag is available now! I wanted to dedicate a separate post to my testers this time around. I always have exceptional testers, but this time I was actually organized enough to put something like this together! :) Kylie, as usual, is up first. Literally. She finished her tester bag with only…

Introducing… the Sunrise Saddle Bag

I am SO EXCITED to announce my new pattern that I do not even need another cup of coffee!! It’s fitting that I’m writing this at 1am, since 80% of this pattern has been designed and written after Emmett goes to bed, often ending with me staying up until sunrise! (Get it?) But, I assure you it has been thoroughly tested…

A Quick Update to the Bigger on the Inside Backpack!

Posted on March 13, 2017 by Erin Erickson | 2 Comments

As I’ve been both working and recovering, my boys have been venturing out on their own a lot more. While Bob is supportive of my handbag habit, carrying a floral diaper bag while I’m not actually accompanying them is probably asking too much. Somehow Bob manages to carry practically nothing with him except a spare “nappy”, and he usually gets…
