New Crossbody Tote Bag

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

I’ve been continuing to experiment with sizes and features of my crossbody tote bag. I am always tweaking and changing a design based on customer’s suggestions, buyer’s custom orders, what I see women carrying while people watching, or sometimes just looking at a fabric can give me an idea.

I have a new crossbody tote bag listed on my SibStudioSewing Etsy shop. This new one has some new bells & whistles.

This size is similar to my other bags, 14 x 11 inches. and has the adjustable crossbody strap and as well as easy to carry handles. There are always lots of pockets inside & outside for practical, everyday use. A zipper closure is a must for most of my customers.

I added the pretty feature of the zipper cover on the front zipper pocket. I saw that on another bag and thought that was such a nice feature to give the bag a clean finished look.

I also added pretty sewn in fabric tabs for holding the rings for the strap. It also gives the bag a more polished look.

This bag has feet at the bottom of the bag to keep it off the ground when you set it down. I often use faux leather so the bag can be kept clean even when it is set down. But, sometimes, I like the look of a fabric bag and the feet are a great addition to help keep the fabric clean.

Feel free to check out the new crossbody bag on my Etsy sewing shop: SibStudioSewing.

I have sewn new smartphone clutches that are perfect for the summer season. One is freshly listed and the others are a sneak peak for my readers.

Tennis Smartphone Clutch

This pink and white tennis ball smartphone clutch is perfect for the tennis player, tennis fan, and for anyone on the go. It has an inside zipper pocket as well as 2 other 3 x 4 inches pockets.

The 9 x 5.5 inches is perfect for any of the larger smartphones on the market and still has plenty of room for your money, and other items.

I had some fun with the pink and white polka dots lining to mimic the golf balls on the outside of the purse.

Calico Butterfly Smartphone Clutch

This purse is so pretty and summery. It is a great size for those days that you don’t want to lug around a large pocketbook.

Perfect size clutch

New Foldover Clutches

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

I have been working on new purse designs. My latest is a folder clutch.

Camo Fold Over Clutch

The camo clutch has faux or vegan leather corners. I have been paying with making the top angled so that when it folds over it adds a little pizzazz.

The clutch is roomy enough to fit everything you need in your clutch. And I like to make the insides fun as well as practical. The camo clutches have a inside zipper pocket as well as 2 regular pockets for your id, money, lipsticks, etc.

This clutch has pink and brown damask cotton lining and pockets

The Camo Fold Over Clutches are posted on my shop. I have more to come!

New Cosmetic Bags

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

I have been sewing and painting away over the past months. Lots of custom sewing and painting orders for customers, and designing new items as well. Time for some updates!

Some fun fabrics and all with vinyl fused linings.

Being listed this week are some new cosmetic bags. Lots of fun fabrics and all have fused vinyl lining. I like the vinyl lining because is makes it easy to wipe your bag clean of makeup dust and minor spills.

These makeup bags make fun party favors for bridesmaids or bachelorette parties. I am always happy to make more so you have enough for all your guests.

Wine Tote

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

I have tweaked one of my old wine tote designs to make it much sturdier and prettier. My previous wine tote had elastic loops to hold the wine bottles in the tote bag. It did not hold the wine bottles as securely as I had thought. So I tried several ideas and came up with a design that works great !

My newest wine tote bag design

I have added the faux leather bottom and reinforced the bottom of the tote bag with another layer of faux leather and sturdy interfacing on the inside.

Wine tote pieces ready to be sewn and serged

Inside I added two large sleeves to hold two bottles, on each side of the tote. The sleeves are sewn into the sides of the tote with 4 rows of stitching to be super sturdy. The bottles stay upright and do not clink together when you are carrying the tote bag.

There are two inside pockets for corkscrews, lunch, cellphones etc, and one outer pockets as well.

This wine tote bag has plenty of room for lunch, beach towels, a laptop,magazines… etc. Add a bottle of your favorite wine and this tote would make a wonderful gift for newlyweds, housewarming, hostess gift, and for your favorite wine lover.
