Announcement    ***SPECIAL SAVINGS ON ALL SPOONFLOWER Newborn Gift Sets!!***
Special price is as marked. $4 savings on Spoonflower Newborn Gift Sets only.
Handcrafted items for baby and child, made using organic fabrics, high-end quilting weight cotton, and lots of care and love. Follow me on Instagram @sweetbug.studio for updates on listings, product work, and sales. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your purchase, please ask. I appreciate your choosing Sweetbug Studio and want you to be happy with your item(s) and experience! I am also the owner of Harbor Fabric Company on Etsy where I sell surplus textiles from my shop. You can find me on Instagram for my fabric surplus shop @harborfabriccompany.

I use only quality materials when crafting my handmade items. I shop at specialty stores or online shops here in the US for my fabric. Many of my materials come from other US Etsy sellers. I use organic cotton fleece on most of my items as a backing. Why? Because it is super soft and cozy, the quality is amazing, and it is thick and substantial. Otherwise, you will find organic white flannel for the same reason. I love fabric, being creative, sewing, and making baby items for little ones. I put my heart into each item. I take care in pattern placement on bibs, ribbon selection for my Sensory Ribbon Blankets, and every item's overall function and appearance. I hope you love my work.

***I will always ship items together when possible to combine shipping costs. In addition, I will refund you any overcharges over $1.00 for the costs of shipping and packaging.***

Creative Mama

I have always enjoyed being artistic and crafty. As a very young girl I made scented pillows for drawers and painted rocks and sold them on the corner. As a teenager I sketched and drew in my free time. As a newlywed I sewed curtains, pillows, painted, and did DIY along with my husband to enhance our home. As a young mother I made the bedding for my daughter's baby room and then her big girl room. And so it continued...over the years I have done countless painting, DIY, and sewing projects for our home. We just bought house #5 and I am on a home decor/DIY journey again to make our house a home. I LOVE to be creative!

I opened my Etsy shop in March 2011 and have had a wonderful time designing, creating, and sewing. Sweetbug Studio allows me to create special handcrafted items for others to enjoy, lets me indulge my passion for creativity, and provides the flexibility so that I have the time I need to care for my family and be "mom". As 2017 is a year full of change for our family I hope to balance being a mom and wife with home fixes, sewing, quilting (a new venture I really want to explore!), and continuing to make handmade goodies for your little ones.

A heartfelt thank you to the customers who continue to support my work, my new customers, and all of you who make my day by sharing a note of kind feedback or a photo of your little one with my handmade work. Your happiness with my work and your little one's love for their handcrafted item are why I do what I do...and so I can indulge my extreme love of fabric. ;) Xo

Thank you for looking and shopping at Sweetbug Studio! I have many ideas (but perhaps not enough time) and enjoy spending my free time creating items for your little ones. My goal is to stay true to my personal artistic style and provide quality, well constructed handmade goods for baby and child.

Contact me within: 3 days of delivery
Ship items back within: 7 days of delivery
I don't accept cancellations
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
The following items can't be returned or exchanged
Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
  • Custom or personalized orders
  • Perishable products (like food or flowers)
  • Digital downloads
  • Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
Returns and exchange details
I take pride in my work and am somewhat of a perfectionist. Please remember these are handmade goods, and that means although I would like it to be "perfect", handmade is just that--handmade. However, I want you to be happy with your purchase. Please contact me within 7 days of receipt if you are unsatisfied so I can make it right through replacement (if your item is damaged or if it was the wrong item), exchange, or refund. Return shipping will be the buyers responsibility. If a mistake was made on my part, I will pay for return shipping and in sending you the correct item. Custom orders are non-returnable. Often I have ordered fabric specific to the customers request and can't accept returns in this case. I will always work to be sure you are getting what you want prior to purchase.
Payment
I accept PayPal and credit card payment for purchases. Payments should be made at time of purchase. I will have the items sent out within 1-2 business days of payment. I reside in Northern Virginia and a sales tax of 6% is applicable to those living in Virginia.
Shipping
I will ship all items via USPS First Class Mail or USPS Priority Mail. Please let me know if the item is a rush order. The difference in shipping will be the buyers responsibility. I do have items that require a specific sized box. Therefore, if you purchase more than one item, shipping charges may be greater. I will always consolidate items when possible and refund any extra shipping charges over $1.00 difference.
Please note that once an item leaves my possession I can't be responsible for lost, damaged, or delayed goods. Please plan appropriately when ordering and allow enough time for shipping, especially international shipping! Delivery of international items can be held up in customs in the receiving country at times, which makes for a longer wait. Canada has taken anywhere from the "estimated" 6-10 business days (depending on delivery location) to four calendar weeks. In addition, items will require longer delivery times during the holiday season. Please be aware of any duties, taxes, or customs fees on the buyer's end of international purchasing. Check with your local post office for details if you need further information.
PLEASE READ shop announcements on my front page for more information regarding international (and US) shipping cutoff dates for the holidays.
Additional policies and FAQs
If you have contacted me regarding creating a custom item, additional time will be required. Also, there may be an additional cost. In our convos I will quote you the price based upon your needs and you may decide if you would like to proceed with the order. All work will begin after payment has been made. Custom orders are made specifically for the customer so I am unable to accept returns.
