Another New Mini backpack

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

I’ve finished another mini sling bag. These little sling bags are similar to backpack but have one strap to slide over one shoulder or wear as a crossbody bag. The bag can be worn on your front or on your back. I prefer this style because it is easy to reach the inside of the bag while you are wearing it.

I love the fabric used for this bag. It is a watercolor style flower print cotton. I love the colors, the choice of lilies, orchids, berries and splatters of colors on the background. I thought it would make a beautiful bag.

I add a stiff interfacing to the back of this cotton fabric so it is sturdy and holds it’s shape. There is also a bit of fleece batting to add a gentle cushioning and comfort for carrying this bag.

I love adding a fun zipper pull to the zipper opening. This bag has a little sliver butterfly. I thought it paired well with the flowers.

I used a cute white and pink floral cotton for the insides. There is a zipper pocket and a slide pocket for your phone, keys, cards, etc.

The back has a D ring on each lower side so you can chose if you prefer to carry it on the left or the right. The strap is adjustable to fit girls and women, as well as giving you the easy choice to adjust to crossbody or to shorten it for a over the shoulder sling.

I used the fun pattern from LindsHandmade: Mav Pack for this bag. I tweaked the pattern a bit to add my own touches to this mini sling bag. You can find this beautiful sling bag already listed on my SibStudioSewing Etsy shop. Enjoy!

This fun pumpkins and jack-o-laterns wristlet will fit the regular sized iPhone 14 and phones up to 6.25 inches. It is the same adorable fabric as the longer wristlet from a previous post.

One of my customers picked out this fabric for a custom order. I purchase the fabric for my customers for custom orders. It’s much easier for everyone and streamlines the process of custom orders. I often have left over fabric from the orders. I just love this cute fabric and had enough leftover for a few phone wristlets. I purchased this fabric from CopaGorda on Etsy I believe the fabric is from StudioE, “Small pumpkins”

This cute wristlet has little white and orange ghosts on orange fabric. It will fit the regular sized iPhone 13 & 14 and other phones up to 6.25 inches. This fabric is one I picked along the way on my travels. It’s a Dear Stella fabric and just so fun. These adorable Halloween wristlets are posted today on my shop and really for purchase. Enjoy!

Jungle Tote Bag

This awesome extra large tote bag is my newest creation. I love the vibrant colors of this fabric. The bag is a generous 16 x 12 x 5 inches – perfect for beach, work, daycare, travel, and everyday.

The print is very large on this fabric and the animals were quite spread out. Large pockets allowed me to bring the focus on the animals and still have some hidden animals around the bag. One side has a tiger pocket and the other side has the zebra pocket.

There is a zipper panel closure. I like the zipper panels because not only do they close the bag with a zipper, but they also let you open the zipper wide and use the bag as an open tote bag.

Inside is lined with green and white striped cotton fabric. A large zipper keeps your wallet and valuable hidden. There are large slip pockets and several more elastic pockets.

This beautiful & sturdy zipper tote bag is already posted on my shop. In fact it is on sale at the moment!

New Music Crossbody Bag

This fun and one of kind crossbody bag is finished and listed on my Etsy shop. I love this music fabric! The shades of gray instruments on black cotton has a sophisticated jazz feel. I paired it with black faux leather to give the bag an upscale feel.

I chose silver hardware to match the grays in the fabric and give the bag a little pizzazz. This is a nice size bag – 14 x 10.5 x 45 – perfect for work, travel, everyday.

I like to have some fun with the insides of my bags. I used musical notes and chords fabric to keep with the theme of the bag. There are 2 large zipper pockets, and 2 more slip pockets.

A zipper panel and a fun G cleft zipper pull make this bag practical and fun. I really enjoyed making this bag and loved the way it turned out. Enjoy!
