Sunrise Saddle Bag Tester Photos

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Erin Erickson | 11 Comments

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

Posted on May 7, 2017 by Erin Erickson | 3 Comments

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…

Introducing… The Roundabout Hobo

Posted on February 8, 2017 by Erin Erickson | 12 Comments

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…

Elastic Pocket Tutorial

Wow! OK so this is the last tutorial for Time for a Change! You all are making AWESOME bags with the pattern and I love seeing the fabric combinations you are choosing! If you have any additional requests, pop into the Facebook Group and I can give you tips and advice much more quickly than writing one of these. I have an…

Pacifier Pocket Tutorial

One of the things I was asked for when I posted the new bag would come in Diaper Bag size, was elastic pockets, but elastic patch pockets can be super frustrating. While struggling with the big elastic pocket (tutorial coming soon), I came up with this, which is super easy and (in my opinion) way more useful! I put two…

Stroller Strap Tutorial

Posted on November 26, 2016 by Erin Erickson | 3 Comments

This is just a little add on for the Time for a Change Bag! The Baby Jogger City Mini GT is by far the most popular stroller where I live. It does well on public transport and our shopping centres are HUGE because they combine malls and groceries here and have centralized (paid!) parking structures, so you can’t have a stroller…

T-Shirt Change Mat Tutorial

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Erin Erickson | 4 Comments

Since the new bag has a diaper bag size, a change mat tutorial was sort of required. But there are at least 300 change mat tutorials with quilting cotton… so rather than waste your cute fabric on a what could end in a laundry disaster, I propose this! Do you like Emmett’s ability to lounge? He was practicing wearing his…

Introducing… Time for a Change Toddler & Baby Bag

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Erin Erickson | 1 Comments

I am beyond excited to finally release my new pattern! I started working on this design over a year ago, before Emmett was born, in an awesome couple of weeks post-bedrest and pre-delivery. Considering this has been in my head for a year, I seriously could not be happier with the result! It came out exactly how I had planned. Toddler Bag /…
