This extra large tote bag was just listed on my Etsy shop. It is a generous 19 x 15.5 x 6.25 inches tote bag.

Outside are 2 pockets perfect for sliding your phone or keys.

Inside divider zipper pocket

The tote is fully lined with coordinating blue cotton. There is a large divider zipper pocket on the center of the bag. The zipper pocket – 17 x 11 inches – is sewn into the side and bottom seams. There are 3 more pockets – a slip pocket for quickly dropping in your phone or keys. and 2 more pockets. The pockets are made of blue & green polka dots on white cotton.

The blue cotton canvas handles are comfortable, and sewn & riveted into the bag. The straps are riveted into the hidden strapping in the bag that is sewn from the bottom to the top of the bag to keep the bag sturdy. Foam interfacing keeps this very large bag lightweight, and keeps it’s shape to make for easier loading and unloading.

This beautiful very large bag can be found on my shop: SibStudioSewing on Etsy

More Signs of Spring

Posted in Reference Photos

This afternoon we could hear the honking way above in the sky. Looking up we could see a large flock of white snow geese migrating north.

Snow goose flying

They were up so high you could only see hundreds of white specks in U shaped formation. I tried taking a photo but they were up too high for my camera.

I am using photos from Pixelbay for this post. They have hundreds of free photos – perfect if you are looking for reference photos for your art.

We rarely see a Snow goose on the ground in the Philadelphia area. It has happened a few times, but mostly we see them in flight, just passing by. We saw several large flocks of hundreds of snow geese go by this afternoon. A definite sign that spring is here.

Spring Is On The Way!

Posted in Reference Photos

Ah another sign that Spring is on it’s way! Purple crocuses in full bloom! These little guys open up their petals when the sun is shining. If it’s cloudy, they keep those petals closed, almost like they are hunkered down until the sun returns. These crocuses would make a pretty spring painting!

Hummingbird Double Zipper Pouch Bag

This is my newest bag on my Etsy shop It is a double zipper pouch pocket crossbody bag. It’s a great bag for when you want to travel light but still have plenty of pockets for your items. The bag measures 9 x 6 x 2 inches. It will fit any of the newest smartphones up to 7 inches length.

What I like about this bag, is it has 2 zipper pouches and a slip pocket in between the zipper pouches for your phone, keys, anything you want quick access to. The zipper pockets are lined with purple & white polka dots cotton. The flap has a magnetic snap to close up the bag.

There is an adjustable crossbody strap that can be shortened to a shoulder bag length. The hummingbird fabric features colorful hummingbirds on a light beige cotton background. This pretty & super practical bag can be found on my SibStudioSewing shop on Etsy .
