Black & White Bucket Bag

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

I have several new bags sewn and ready to be seen in public. This black and white checkered bucket bag is the 1st of the group. Isn’t she gorgeous?

This is a beautiful shoulder bag that will take you from work to evening! Beautiful black faux leather paired with black and white checks & quilted flannel.

I saw this flannel at a nearby fabric shop and loved it! It’s a high quality soft flannel with lovely quilting. I was looking for the perfect bag design to show it off. The black faux leather is also a high quality vinyl with a slight texture and soft touch.

I had some ideas for what style bag I would use the quilted flannel and saw this fun bag pattern from Oro Rosa. Ah ha – the perfect bag for this quilted flannel!

This bag measures 12′ x 9.5″ x 6″ and is a great size for everyday use and not too large. It has a zipper panel closure. The long zipper lets you choose to carry the bag with the zipper panel closed or leave the bag fully opened like a hobo bag or small tote.

Inside is a fun black & white flower cotton. A large divider pocket is convenient for quick access to wallets, etc and divides the inside into 2 sections. There is also 2 slip pockets as well.

You can find this bag already posted on my Etsy shop : Click here . More bags coming shortly – stay tuned!

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!
