Darby Lane Designs was created as a hobby in 2008 when I began making handmade gifts for friends and loved ones. For a short period of time, I sold items on Etsy, but then put my sewing machine away while I worked full-time and started my family. 

During the 2020 pandemic, I began making cloth face masks for my friends, neighbors, and patients at the local hospital. Sitting at the sewing machine again sparked the fire for this hobby that I had put aside for so long.

These days you will find me in my sewing studio in Lakeland, TN.  While I do not currently run Darby Lane Designs as a business, I do enjoy making baby shower gifts, aprons, children’s clothes, and quilts. 

When I’m not sewing, I am the Chief Domestic Officer of my home.  I also enjoy making soy wax candles while also dabbling in knitting, cross-stitch and painting. Cooking, baking, reading fiction, and traveling the world bring me so much joy too!  Thanks for stopping by and supporting my hobby.
