Behind the studio
My son showed me this well done pep talk video over the weekend. A great message for everyone learning a new skill. New skills take lots of time and practice to perfect that skill to match how you see it in your mind’s eye. I thought my readers might like this video too. Enjoy!

I have a friend who asked for wristlets with African print fabrics. I found some beautiful Kente cloth cotton with bold oranges, green, and purples. The patterns are very bold, graphic, and color blocked.
I used some fussy cutting to get the patterns centered on the main pieces of the wristlets. I loved how the colors and the patterns lined up on the finished product. The wristlets were beautiful! I was excited to have enough fabric leftover to make some for my shop. They are beautiful and I think they will be a favorite . See what you think 🙂

What a cold, snowy winter this has been! It is a great time to paint the springtime I am waiting for. One of the signs that winter is over and spring is here is the blooming of the cherry trees. And that is what I painted last week!
Azure blue background is the color of the sky on a beautiful sunny spring day. I painted the branches in full bloom with lots of whites, pinks, purples, and even a touch of green and sienna brown. Hope looking at the painting brings warm thoughts of spring to you too.

Time to get this blog back up and running! So enjoy a selection perfect for last minute Valentine’s day gifts or just to enjoy all year round! You can find these at SibStudioSewing on Etsy. I’ll have some artwork to show in my next post. Enjoy the day!
I’ve been busy sewing and painting over the past weeks. I will be adding paintings and sewn items into each respective shop every week.
I thought you might like a sneak peek at the smartphone wristlets and tote that will be showing up in the SibStudioSewing shop on Etsy this week.
The black and orange houndstooth is already listed. The rest of the wristlets will be listed over the next week. These will fit all iPhones, and most of the android phones up to 5.25 inches in length.
This is my newest large sturdy tote. The straps are sewn from the bottom to the top and inside are elastic loops for holding one or two wine bottles. It would make a great picnic tote, a housewarming or wedding shower gift, as well as a great tote for the wine lover.
