Who Wants Dessert?

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

isn’t this one of kind bag the cutest?!!

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!

Black and White Tweed Purse

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

This sophisticated black, white, and a touch of silver tweed is the perfect work to evening purse.

black & white tweed purse

I love this tweed fabric. It is a tightly woven tweed and has a nice feel to it. There are stands of black, white and just a bit of silver to give it some light. I paired this bag with a silver chain and hardware to accent the silver.

The bag measures 11 x 6.5 x 3. I added a silver turn lock closure. There are 2 chain connectors at the top of the bag. I balanced the connectors so the bag does not tip forward when you carry it on your shoulder.

The silver curb chain is removable. I usually attach my chains permanently to the connectors, but I thought I would try making them removable. Sometimes my customers would like to replace it with a favorite chain strap of their own.

This beautiful bag is my design. It is a variation of a bag I designed for a customer’s special orders. It is already posted and ready to ship: Black Tweed Purse Enjoy!

Rainbow Quilted Purse

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

quilted rainbow bag by sibstudiosewing on Etsy

Isn’t this bag a beauty?!! It’s perfect for date night, weddings, work to evening events, and even everyday! I enjoyed making this bag and was happy with how it turned out!

The fabric is a quilted metallic rainbow vinyl. It has a pearl like sheen and catches the light. The rainbow is muted and beautiful. The vinyl is quilted in a chevron stripe and has a nice feel. The bag measures 11 x 6.5 x 3 inches.

The above image with the back of the purse. The gold curb chain is attached to the 2 top chain connectors. The connectors are placed so the bag is balanced and doesn’t want to tip forward when you are carrying it.

The flap is closed with a beautiful gold and purple sparkle sakaru cherry blossom flower magnetic clasp. The inside is lined with purple cotton & has 2 slip pockets and a zipper pocket.

This bag is one of my designs. It is a variation of one I designed it for a customer special order. I used foam interfacing so the bag isn’t too heavy or stiff. I also like that it keeps it’s shape no matter what you put your purse through during the day. It also gives a little cushioning to you and your items inside the bag.

This beautiful rainbow bag is already posted and ready to ship: Metallic Rainbow Purse

More bags and paintings on the way – stay tuned!

Cherry Blossom Painting

Posted in Art Work, and Peeking Behind the Easel

Some paintings just need a frame.

This beautiful painting of a cherry blossom turned out lovely, but it was missing something. I love the oval shape of the canvas and how it hints of Easter eggs and spring. That is why I chose to paint a beautiful sprig of cherry blossoms. As happy as I was with the end result, something was missing.

Tada! What a difference a frame makes! Now it has a polished finish! The white frame pulls out the pinks and blues and really make this painting special.

Many of my paintings are on gallery wrapped canvas, so you have the choice of with or without a frame. I painted the sides of the canvas, so the painting looks neat and tidy when hanging without a frame. This painting, however, look much more complete with it framed. You can find this painting, wired and ready to hang here: Cherry Blossom painting

New Shopping Site: Sibstudioartsewing.com

Posted in Peeking Behind the Easel, and Peeking Behind the Seam

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.

The name of the shopify shop : SibStudioArtSewing.com Take a peek and see what you think!

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.
