Shipping & Returns
We ship Mon-Thursday and some Fridays. Please know USPS and UPS often say "delivered" but it takes an additional day or two for the package to actually BE delivered --yes, it's annoying! We have to deal with this every single day, this is not in our control.
On US Federal Holidays no mail moves - you *may* see a label print, but it will leave the next mailing day.
Here is our detailed shipping policy.
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.
👉 PLEASE DO NOT FILE A CLAIM OR A CHARGEBACK ON MISSING PACKAGES!!!!! THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT PROCESS. EMAIL US FIRST. help@sewhungryhippie.com
Did you know we will send a return label to you for returning items? When people "refuse" a delivery, it costs us triple the original postage to claim the parcel back. PLEASE DO NOT do this! EMAIL US or call us so we can handle it. Our contact page is here.
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. If you file a chargeback on a preorder I will ban you from my website for the rest of time. I've only had to do this once, but it is totally rediculous to make up a story about arrival times when it is NOT in my control. WE DO NOT HOLD BACK items- there is NO ROOM or time to do this. I've stayed until midnight shipping preorders because they arrive at 5pm, just to get them out the door. BE COOL or be banned for life.
We do NOT cover import fees or duties if shipping out of the USA. Tariffs/duties have NOTHING to do with our company, we have no control over them.
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 perfection but sometimes things happen. Thank you for your grace. help@sewhungryhippie.com
Returns are accepted for damaged items and we will send you a return label. Returns for any other reason are accepted within 14 days (30 days for international) at YOUR return shipping expense, and will be processed with a restocking fee of 10% to cover Shopify cc fees.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is each piece?
Each piece is 18" x 54" and 0.7mm thick, enough for a medium-to-large bag or several accessories.
Is Moonglow Taupe shiny?
No. Moonglow has a matte, pebbled finish with no sheen or glare, for a leather-like look.
Can I sew this on a home sewing machine?
Yes. Use a Microtex 80/12 needle and a 3mm stitch length. A regular presser foot works; you don't need a Teflon foot. Hold layers with clips instead of pins to avoid permanent holes.
Do I need interfacing?
It depends on your project. For structured bags, use Sew Hippie foam, Sew Hippie fusible foam, SHH Fusible Woven, leftover batting or fusible fleece. For a slouchy style, you can skip interfacing entirely.
Is this vinyl sticky or adhesive-backed?
No. It's a non-adhesive faux leather vinyl designed for sewing, not sticking.
Can I iron this vinyl?
Press from the wrong side, or protect the front with a Teflon pressing sheet. Never touch a hot iron directly to the front of the vinyl.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash on cool.
What zipper goes with Moonglow Taupe?
Our Strawberry Mocha #5 zipper tape with bronze teeth is a warm, coordinating match.
What patterns work well with Moonglow Taupe?
Any Sew Hungry Hippie vinyl-compatible pattern works. The Santorini Tote is a fan favorite, and the Madison, Arlo, Andy and Donovan bags are all excellent choices too.

Moonglow Vinyl is amazing to sew with; the texture is elegant and the taupe color is perfect year round. Needing no interfacing, it can be made into a handbag very quickly.
Highly recommend!!
I have used Moonglow for several bag projects and it never disappoints. Quilts beautifully to Soft N Stable to give a beautiful, professional look. This new, neutral color is very classy.
I have been accumulating Sew Hungry Hippie materials for several months. I LOVE everything I have received. Nothing has disappointed me. Orders are fulfilled promptly and completely. I can check my account any time and know the status of my order.
I found my soulmate in this store. I love the patterns, colors and range of materials. I am new to bagmaking, so accumulating my stash has been SO MUCH FUN!
There are two/three weekly events that keep me current (new patterns, vinyl, fabrics, techniques). There are tons of videos on YouTube and on the website. I have great admiration for the energy and obvious superior work ethics of Natalie, Romel, and her staff. Content is ever evolving! Heart and Soul combine to make this a GREAT shop.
Obviously, I highly recommend Sew Hungry Hippie on many levels.
This is great to work with. Easy to sew on a home sewing machine. Great quality.
Great quality. Excited to use in my bag.

I love it!
The taupe color is gorgeous and sews like a dream on my domestic. Have purchased Moonglow twice now - it’s a keeper!
The taupe moon glow vinyl was easy to work with, even with a domestic machine. I also appreciated the nice width.

If I am making the small bag sized Santorini completely using vinyl, then how much vinyl should I order?
You need a roll of vinyl - there will be a little left over. :)
Hi, just wondering how big a piece is the vinyl please?
18" x 54" :)
