Spring Bags Are On Their Way

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine

Here’s the 1st handbag: This gorgeous purple roses faux leather bag is ready for spring, Easter, Mother’s Day, and all year! I love this cabbage roses vinyl – it’s a premium vinyl with a slight texture and is more beautiful in person. The straps are a dark purple faux leather and are sewn and rivets for strength.

This is a nice size shoulder bag with a fun side details of magnet is snaps. 11.5 x 7 x 4.5″. Magnets can be unsnapped with those times you want a wider bag.

It has a zipper panels closure to accommodate the side tucks. The zipper pull is silver with a spray of flowers. Bag hardware is silver.

Inside is lined. lavender water resistant bonded nylon. There is also a large slip pocket & zipper pocket . I modified the Rowena Handbag pattern by Knotted Threads Co.

This beautiful bag is ready for purchase on my Etsy site: SibStudioSewing and shortly on my Sibstudioartsewing.com shop. More bags coming.

Monarch Butterfly Bag

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

This gorgeous one of a kind bag is finished! What fun it was to make! I had this gorgeous monarch butterfly fabric sitting on my work table for a bit. When I saw this pattern – I knew this was the perfect bag for this fabric.

The monarch fabric is paired with a beautiful black faux leather. There is a zipper pocket on one side of the bag.

Black zipper closure with a butterfly zipper pull. The bag hardware is gunmetal.

The bag has an adjustable crossbody strap that can be shortened to a shoulder bag length.

Inside is lined with the butterfly fabric. There is zipper pocket as well.

I used the Eva bag pattern by Shambella Bag Design. I wanted to showcase the butterfly fabric and this pattern is perfect for just that!

This beautiful butterfly bag is listed on my Etsy shop and will be listed on my Shopify shop: Sibstudioartsewing.com later today.

Some Fresh Changes for 2026

Posted in Peeking Behind the Easel, and Peeking Behind the Seam

Happy New Year! Hope everyone is well and enjoying life! I”ve been working on some tweaks and upgrades here.

First news is I have removed free ship on my Etsy shops. The good news for you is I have also dropped my prices.

Shipping has increased every year and even 2x a year. Free shipping is added into the cost of each product, which each time the shipping goes up, so does my product price. I am not happy with how this is working for my customers, and it’s making my products uncompetitive and over priced. So 2026 brings a better way. I have lowered my prices on most items. And while there is a shipping fee now, I think it will be minimum with the lower pricing.

Second news, while I am still happily running my Etsy shops, I have finally loaded my sewing products into my Shopify store. I have had the painting there for a bit. Now my sewing is loading as we speak. I will be adding them into the visible part of the shop over the next few weeks. This will give me some freedom to add some new products without making my Etsy shops look like a mess, & accommodate those customers who don’t like shopping Etsy.

So you will have 2 places to shop now! My Etsy shops and my new online shopify shop: Sibstudioartsewing.com . I will be adding this shop to the header here shortly.

And as a new year begins, I have oodles of ideas for new paintings, new bags & purses, and lots more! Enjoy the rest of your day and stop by again for updates as I create and make one of a kind product!
