Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming soon to my shop:
This adorable butterfly bag is finished and waiting to be photographed & listed on my shop. I love this monarch butterfly fabric. It’s paired with black faux leather. It is a smaller bag with zipper pockets and an adjustable crossbody strap.
What else is on my sewing table? A custom order! I am designing a bag for a lovely customer. I’ll post of sneak peek next week.
I also have a finished painting to be posted shortly. There is artwork and some sewing items listed on my Shopify shop. The shop is still a work in process, but it’s open as are both Etsy shops! Enjoy your day! 🙂
Happy New Year! Hope everyone is well and enjoying life! I”ve been working on some tweaks and upgrades here.
First news is I have removed free ship on my Etsy shops. The good news for you is I have also dropped my prices.
Shipping has increased every year and even 2x a year. Free shipping is added into the cost of each product, which each time the shipping goes up, so does my product price. I am not happy with how this is working for my customers, and it’s making my products uncompetitive and over priced. So 2026 brings a better way. I have lowered my prices on most items. And while there is a shipping fee now, I think it will be minimum with the lower pricing.
Second news, while I am still happily running my Etsy shops, I have finally loaded my sewing products into my Shopify store. I have had the painting there for a bit. Now my sewing is loading as we speak. I will be adding them into the visible part of the shop over the next few weeks. This will give me some freedom to add some new products without making my Etsy shops look like a mess, & accommodate those customers who don’t like shopping Etsy.
So you will have 2 places to shop now! My Etsy shops and my new online shopify shop: Sibstudioartsewing.com . I will be adding this shop to the header here shortly.
And as a new year begins, I have oodles of ideas for new paintings, new bags & purses, and lots more! Enjoy the rest of your day and stop by again for updates as I create and make one of a kind product!
Summer has been a bit busy around here. But bags are sewn and slowly listed. 🙂 This is the newest bag – the Dessert Bag! This fabric is photorealistic print of all your favorite desserts. Cakes, pies, ice cream, brownies and cookies! I love this fabric – it’s so fun and delicious.
The cotton fabric is securely bonded to stiff interfacing for strength and sturdiness. It is paired with black faux leather and gunmetal hardware. The bottom of the bag is black faux leather for easy cleaning. It has a zipper closure with a fun cupcake zipper pull
There is a removable and adjustable crossbody strap as well. Outside has a pocket on each side – perfect for cellphones and keys.
Inside is lined with a fun brown, pink, and orange geometric print. There is a large zipper pocket and 2 more slip pockets. The bag also has foam interfacing that helps hold the bag’s shape and is more comfortable to hold.
This bag was really fun to sew. The fabric is so fun, and I thought this bag style would be prefect for showcasing all the yummy desserts. It would make a great statement bag for your favorite pastry chef, dessert baker, and anyone who loves bakery goods. It’s even on sale right here: Sibstudiosewing Enjoy!
I’ve mentioned I was working on opening up a Shopfy shop in addition to my Etsy shops. It’s been slow going, but it is up and running. As of right now, I have just my art work posted for sale. My sewing bags, wristlets, & more are coming onboard shortly. I will continue to have both my Etsy shops up and running, and this new website will be in addition to the Etsy shops.
As frustrated with Etsy as I get, it is very easy to open an Etsy shop and get started. Shopify caters to all big brick and mortar and tiny shops like mine. It’s overwhelming to get started and get the hang of it. But I did it, and I’m up and running. 🙂
Etsy has a limit on their seller covered pricing. This is fine for most of my items – both art & sewing. But I do have a few paintings that are over the pricing. Sibstudio Art & Sewing will allow for some of my higher priced paintings. It will also easily let me showcase my work for some side projects I am working on.
I also wanted to add some accessories like straps and tassels to my sewing shop. It’s difficult to set my Etsy shop to allow this without it looking overly cluttered & messy. I will be able to create sections for the accessories without cluttered up the whole site. I also want to explore some different sewing, again without cluttering up my Etsy shop.
So new things happening around here! I will keep you up to date as I include my sewing on the new site. I will continue to sell on my Etsy shops – SibStudio & SibStudio Sewing! This new site will be in addition to the Etsy shops.
This sparkly, rainbow light catching glitter bag is just stunning! It features a top handle strap as well as a removable chain strap. The glitter vinyl catches the light as a rainbow reflection. I love the design of this bag as well as the glitter vinyl. This is a sturdy vinyl that will last and last.
Some of my photos are a little dark so I could catch the rainbow reflections of this glitter vinyl. The rainbow shimmer shows up in the light and at others times, the glitter looks more white with silver sparkles. Very fun fabric!
it’s a nice size 7 x 9.5 x 4 inches. Perfect for all day into evening. Double zippers allow for quick opening of the bag.
The top handle is both riveted and sewn in to make this a sturdy top handle. There are 2 D rings for the removable chain strap and for anything you want to attach such as tassels or charms.
Inside is fully lined with a bonded poly nylon which is water resistant and wipeable. This is my first time using a bonded poly nylon and I like the results.
There is a netted slip pocket on one side of the inside. Perfect to see what you slide in – a phone, keys, etc. The opposite side has not only a zipper pocket, but card slots and a bill slot for your cash and cards.
I used the Konin Bowler Bag pattern from Country Cow Designs which was part of a bag kit. the bonded poly nylon fabric is new to me and I wanted a chance to try it out. I also had been admiring this pattern and the glitter vinyl. I haven’t try doing a netted pocket as well, so it was a great way to learn some new skills and make a gorgeous bag!
This beauty is ready for purchase at my Etsy shop : Glitter Bowler Bag More bags coming too!
