Shipping & Returns

Hello! We ship everday and some Saturdays. On US Federal Holidays no mail moves - you *may* see a label print, but it will leave the next mailing day. If we take a short break for vacation, it is announced ahead of time on all social media channels and in the newsletter. Are you signed up for my emails? They often contain treasures!  

Please keep shipping insurance (Package Protection) in your cart. If you take it out, you will have to file your own claim with USPS or UPS. While mistakes with the Carriers are rare, they do happen and it's best to have full coverage.

PRE ORDERS ship as stated in the listing -- usually these take some time to arrive. IF YOU COMBINE in stock items with a preorder they will ship TOGETHER at one time. Make a separate order if you need in-stock items sooner. Thanks!!

We DO ship to Canada & most other European countries, also Australia and New Zealand through USPS or UPS if you choose it. We do NOT cover import fees. 

Tracking info is ALWAYS sent by email as soon as the label is printed. Check your junk or promotions folders; it could have landed in one of them. After the initial tracking entry when the label is printed, additional tracking updates are provided by the carrier. Follow the tracking link you received by email to check the status on the carrier's site.
Free shipping is offered for domestic customers, on orders over $125.

Our mail system is pretty amazing when compared to the rest of the world and we are so grateful to the Carriers that make it happen! 

Vinyl is usually rolled and either wrapped in tissue or a protective bag, and sent that way. Some vinyl (soft metallic and moonglow for example) can be folded without causing damage, you can opt to iron it from the back side as well.  In any case, if your vinyl arrives with wrinkles you can simply place it in the sunshine OR use a hair dryer to warm it flat again, or iron it (wrong side only). If you think your vinyl is damaged, please email me and I will take care of you. 😊

**Soft metallic vinyl, Stardust, croc, and Moonglow vinyl CAN be ironed from the wrong side. See my Guide for Sewing Vinyl for more info.

If we made a mistake on your order OR if something arrives damaged, email us so we can fix it. The Sew Hungryhippie team strives for perfect but we are humans & are training new employees... Thank you for your grace.  help@sewhungryhippie.com

Returns are accepted for damaged items and we will send you a return label. Returns for "changing your mind" are accepted at YOUR return shipping expense, and will be processed with a restocking fee of 10%

Thank you for supporting my small business! YOU have made a huge difference in my family's life and I think about it every single day. 

-Natalie 🥰

Great pattern

I have already made 2 Iris messenger bags.
Very easy to follow directions. The bag has lots of space and the pockets are wonderful. I have received many compliments on the bag I use.

Lining with a Pop!

Well written pattern. I used beautiful printed fabric for the lining and a more conservative outer solid fabric since I am using it for business. Love the pop of the lining that shows well under the flap. When I open it, it makes me happy. The size is perfect for carrying what I need to meetings. Pockets keep things orderly inside. Suggestion: Put a magnet into the flap just to keep it well aligned when closed. (I don’t know how to install magnets for this purpose...I’ll have to research that!) I used ByAnnie Soft and Stable for interfacing for more structure and may even use a stiffer interfacing next time, maybe just in the exterior fabric. I was very satisfied and pleased with the Iris bag pattern and design, and enjoyed making it. Thank you, Natalie!

Recessed Zipper Panel instructions need updating

instructions for Zipper Panel (for recessed zipper) need to made as easy/relatively the same, as the Zipper Panels on the Santorini Tote. Could even just add some direction on the Iris Messenger pattern, for the sewist to refer to specific pages on the "Santorini recessed zipper online tutorial" - for an updated, easier way - with how to calculate panel dimensions for their messenger bag. Just bc the purchaser is buying the pattern later than the Santorini, they should not be shut out of updated, easier directions from same pattern designer.

missinterpretation

The pattern does what is says it does. I just wished for more detail. I misread and misunderstood the description / photos about what the insides were like. - I cut out the pattern - drew the pieces you had to draw (which I do not like doing at all) and cut them out. Stuck them together with pins before I cut the fabric and saw it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. This happend although I took me 3 weeks of going back and looking at web page many times, before I bought the pattern. It is a simple messenger bag. No more and no less.

Sorry it wasn't what you wished for! For others reading this review, the pattern pieces are measure and cut because they are rectangles. There are lots of photos of this bag for you to look at before purchase, including a tester blog post. ;)
