New Gnome Paintings for 2022

Posted in Art Work

These adorable small paintings come from a series of gnome sketches I was doing for a larger painting. They were so much fun to sketch! I thought they would be fun to paint as their own little portraits. And they were!

I may work on a whole series of little gnome portraits because you can never paint enough gnomes 🙂 I will post the larger painting when it is completed and ready to be listed on my shop.

The 1st painting is a January winter gnome who is ready for the cold & snow.

The 2nd painting is a Valentine gnome, ready for his big day next week.

I used acrylic paintings on 3 x 5 inches gallery wrapped canvases. Both are sealed with a coating of acrylic varnish. They have a little hook on the back for hanging or they can be set on a shelf or mantle. Both can be found on my SibStudio art shop on Etsy

New Hobo Style Bags

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

Last week I added 4 new hobo style bags to my shop. I’ve been working on new inventory as we head into the Christmas holidays.

These beauties were so fun to make. I’ve made hobo bags in the past but I really like the design of these bags. Most of my bags are designed by me, but I saw the pattern for these bags and I really liked the shape of the bag. The pattern is from Oro Rosa Patterns. They have a wonderful slouchy feel, while keeping the good quality I like in my handbags.

Each one has a magnetic snap closure and interior pockets. They are about 14 x 11 x 5 inches. This 1st bag has a beautiful blue butterfly satin in the center of both side of the bag. The black faux leather makes up the rest of the bag.

The 2nd Bag is a gorgeous black velvet lace on smooth black faux leather. A truly beautiful fabric that makes a special bag.

The 3rd Bag is a really cool bronze faux leather. The leather is smooth and supple and changes from light bronze to silvery bronze in the light.

The last bag that I made is a very beautiful suede with a wild horses cotton print in the center panel. The suede is so soft to feel, and it makes a beautiful western style bag.

All four bags can be found on my SibStudioSewing shop on Etsy.

Designer Tweed Makeup Bag

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

This beautiful pink tweed makeup bag is now up on my SibStudioSewing shop. It’s 6 x 4 inches in size – perfect for a few makeup items or your credit cards and cash.

The fabric is a beautiful designer tweed from a Paris designer fabric store. I had a little left over from a custom order. I thought it would be perfect for a small zipper bag. The tweed has light and dark pink, blue, orange and yellow fibers in the tweed weave. Inside is fully lined with pastel pink cotton. A pink zipper closure to keep everything safe inside the bag.

It is a perfect touch of Paris elegance in a small bag.
