The Amazing Tester Photos for the Zip Around Town Wallet

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…

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!

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…

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…

I am so excited to announce my first new pattern of 2017! The Roundabout Hobo is a medium-sized, zippered hobo with an integrated handle. It has an internal slip pocket and welt-style zippered pocket with instructions to cleanly install the zip with no raw edges (including hiding the edges of the zipper tape!) It tucks up just under your arm…

Baby Under My Desk!

I better write this quick, because each morning, for the past 7 weeks, I put “blog post” at the top of my list and by 10pm my 20 minutes of total hands-free time throughout the day gets used up by laundry and refilling my water bottle and by the time the kid-who-only-sleeps-at-night is in bed I’m exhausted, and I put it…

Still growing a tiny human!

Hi! So, a lot has happened since our last update and while I’ve kept active in our Facebook group and on Instagram, I didn’t really have anything to update you about. This pregnancy has been a series of complications and absolutely no solid information to report on. The good news is I’m still pregnant and made it to 30 weeks!…

Prepare for Takeoff!

It’s finally here! More for Christmas than for Thanksgiving as planned, but I don’t have a lot of control over my life right now. :) I hope you’ll still love it! I wrote a little bit about why I wrote this pattern on the product page: “You know I am all about travel these days, and three trips ago I swore I…
