Yarn Socks are my new favorite thing

Why have I not ordered Yarn Socks before? Now, I want to put every wound cake into a Yarn Sock, immediately. This is the coolest crafting accessory, ever, and beautifully designed and sewn. Erin Lane Bags never disappoints, but apparently I can still be surprised by the brilliant products.

I love my EL bag!

I love my new Erin Lane bag! The pattern is beautiful, and I have gotten compliments on it after only having it a week! I love that each zippered pocket goes all the way to the bottom - it's very roomy. The only improvement I would make is to have some leather across the bottom of both sides for more protection.

Beautiful floral design!

I love this bag! It's well made out of good, sturdy fabric, but still small enough to tuck into a larger tote bag.

The longer shoulder strap is also very nice and speaks to the designer's care and attention to small details that make a difference.

Who is Erin.Lane?

Erin was my middle name, and Lane was my mom's.  So it's not a person so much as just this amazing thing my mom and I started building together. 

Now I run the show. 

Hi, I'm Lindsey, and I'm a somewhat crazy person with a sewing machine and internet connection.  I have been lucky enough to have built an amazing community of people who think what I make with my hands is cool. 

I design all the fabric, a thing I never thought I would be able to do, because I got tired of seeing the same things over and over again.  All the bag designs are drafted in house, and with an amazing team of women, I have been able to do things my mom and I only dreamed would be possible.
