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!

Green Designer Tweed Bag

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

This lovely green tweed bag is my newest bag. It’s a perfect sized rectangle shaped bag with top zippers. An adjustable strap allows the bag to be worn as a shoulder bag, or lengthen to a crossbody bag. I love the gold ring details on this bag.

The green tweed is a gorgeous designer tweed from Italy. It has a nice soft feel with a tight weave, making this fabric pleasant to touch as well as sturdy. I bought this fabric for a custom order and had some leftover. I thought it would be perfect for this bag!

I love the look of this bag and the size ( 10 x 7 x 4 inches ) is a great size – not too big and not too small. The tweed makes this bag perfect for work to evening. I used the Laverna pattern from SewYours for this bag. I create & use my own patterns for much of my sewing. However, there are some amazing bag makers out there recently & it is fun to try out their patterns and learn new ways. 🙂

In addition to the lovely gold ring details on the front, the back has a generous outer zipper – perfect for phones and keys.

Inside is a fun green, white, and black floral print. There another zipper pocket and 2 addition slip pockets as well.

This lovely bag is already posted on my Etsy shop . Feel free to take a look!

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!

Octopus Shoulder Bag

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

Who doesn’t love an octopus? This gorgeous bag is finished and already up on my shop. It is a striking black and gray bag.

This fun octopus zipper pull from Wondergroundfabrics was my inspiration for this bag. The zipper pull matches octopus fabric I had on hand. The octopus fabric has an ink print style octopus – got to love a good pun! 🙂 The fabric background is a very faint gray damask print, giving the bag a bit of class.

I paired this bag with these cool matte black rivets from Springfield Leather and gunmetal hardware.

This 14 x 11 x 5 inches shoulder bag has a adjustable crossbody strap as well as comfortable and textured faux leather handle straps. Two very large pockets on the exterior and more pockets on the inside.

Green, black and gray polka dots remind me of air bubbles under the sea, around the octopus. An octopus zipper charm inside for a touch of whimsy.

This bag was very fun to make! It’s already up on my Etsy shop ,ready to be loved!
