All Year Christmas Loves

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Peeking Behind the Seam

Coming this week – Christmas products!! Yes, you heard that right! 🙂

I got so far behind during the month of December – any one else have the same problem? As I was tiding up my workroom, I came across some Christmas fabric I had started to cut out for pre-Christmas. I know how many of you love Christmas all year long – so I decided to finish what I started. 🙂

This cutie is made from the last of a really fun photo realistic candy cane fabric. It is a makeup bag lined with red satin. Such a fun bag !

This makeup bag features beautiful poinsettias in white, pink, and maroon with touches of gold. It is lined with dark green satin. It’s so pretty! It’s definitely a Christmas all year round winner!

Lastly, a matching poinsettias phone wristlet. You could make it a set with the makeup bag, but it will look amazing on it’s own. This too has the dark green satin lining inside. Your phone will look festive all year round.

Looks for these beauties coming this week on my Etsy shop.

Bacon and Egg Bag

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, Peeking Behind the Seam, and Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

How cute is this bacon and egg bag?!! If you are a bacon lover – this bag is for YOU!

Perfect for brunch, breakfast meetings, your favorite keto dieter, & bacon lover!

I just posted this new bag on my Etsy shop today! I am adding it to my current sale as well. This fun circle shaped bag has plenty of pockets outside and inside. It can be carried by the top handle or the adjustable crossbody strap.

It also features a sunny side up egg zipper pull and inside is egg yolk yellow and white polka dots!

As you can tell, I had a lot of fun making this bag 🙂 It started with some photorealistic bacon cotton fabric that I’ve hung on to until the perfect bag idea came to me. The egg zipper pull synched the idea of this bag for me. I added a luscious black faux leather to pair with the bacon cotton. This one of a kind bag is ready to ship & can be found one my Etsy shop: SibStudioSewing

New Style Large Phone Wristlet

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Peeking Behind the Seam

I’ve been making large phone clutches and wristlets for years. I recently came across a fun pattern that I like a lot. It is very similar to ones I make, but has a few extras that bring the wristlet to another level.

This is the Tracy Wristlet by Lind’s Homemade Design and it is a fun update to my collection. This wristlet has a very cool feature on the back:

There are two d rings sewn in and riveted to the backside of the wristlet. It allows for a wristlet strap or adding a shoulder or crossbody strap to the bag.

This blue daises cotton canvas bag has both a wristlet strap as well as a matching shoulder strap. You can switch between either strap length, making the bag so versatile!

A pretty gold chain crossbody strap would be perfect on this bag! The other thing I liked about this bag is the inside double pocket. The slip pocket has card slots as well as a place for your cash. There is a zipper pocket inside as well.

I like the wider dimensions of the bag as well – it will fit more stuff while still being a small bag. It is large enough for any size phone.

You can find several of these wristlets in my Etsy shop already to ship. There are several more in progress as well!

Detailing Update on My Smartphone Wristlets

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Peeking Behind the Seam

This beautiful purple lilacs phone wristlet is the newest wristlet listed on my Etsy shop . I’ve adjusted my wristlet sizes to accommodate the current regular phone sizes. This will fit the iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S24, Pixel 8, and phones up to 6.25″ x 3.25″ .

The newer phones are the same width but are longer then earlier versions. I had some wristlets on my shop that no longer fit the new longer lengths. I have removed them from the shop.

I’ve looked at other bagmaker’s phone wristlets and have noticed zippers, and magnet closures. I’ve decided to stay with the velcro for people who prefer no magnets near their phone or credit cards, and for those who don’t want to fuss with a small zipper.

The velcro I use is heavy duty, and is triple sewn into the bag and fold over tab. I have customers who have been using their phone wristlets for years before they need are larger one for a new phone. The wristlets hold up well and the velcro is still working great.

The other thing that is different with my phone wristlets is I use satin as the lining. Years ago when I first designed this wristlet, I noticed cotton makes it harder to get your phone out or even pulls up with the phone. The satin lets you easily slide your phone in and out with ease. I continue to use the satin for that reason.

I have two more wristlets finished, waiting to be listed. Here’s a sneak peek:

The seashell and the mushroom wristlets will be listed this week. Enjoy!
