About The Moody Sewist.

Who even are you, lady?

Hey there, I’m Caitlin, the ’tude behind The Moody Sewist. I’m based in Sudbury, Ontario, where I live among the lakes, forests, and rocky landscapes of this crater site! That’s right, approximately a gazillion years ago [give or take], a big-ass crater smashed into the earth RIGHT HERE… and now a bunch of us live in the hole it left behind. This is a one-woman operation, so when I say we, I mean me and all of my personalities 🙃

What's your deal?

I started The Moody Sewist because I wanted what I couldn’t find elsewhere: variety, quality, and solid values behind the brand, all from a Canadian source. My mission is to create a safe, inclusive community while bringing you hardware and zips to keep your sewjo going!

The Moody Sewist offers Canada’s largest selection of Antique Bronze bag-making hardware, with Rose Gold catching up fast 😉. You’ll find custom pulls with plenty of sass, plus a wide range of equally awesome hardware, zipper tape, and non-custom [but still awesome] pulls. Plus, if you’re dreaming of designing your own pull or bag tag, send me a message and we can get the process started! I’ve helped sewists across Canada and the USA level up their businesses with custom designed hardware that reflects their brand.

Why shop The Moody Sewist?

Because I see you. You’re burning that midnight oil to finish just one more seam, to crank out just one more bag, to get ready for that next market. I’ve been there [and honestly, I still am]. For nearly 15 years, I’ve been sewing and selling my own makes, so when I say I get it, I really do. I know how important it is to have supplies you can rely on, which is why I focus on variety, quality, and unique designs that make sourcing your materials a pain-free experience.

And just like you, it’s just me. This isn’t a warehouse with departments or a faceless team with job titles - it’s one sewist wearing all the hats, doing all the things, and occasionally crawling out of my lair to see daylight and/or my family. When you shop here, you’re not just buying hardware, you’re fueling creativity, supporting Canadian, and supporting my child's cereal addiction.

I’m also a proud LGBTQ2IA+ ally, committed to creating a safe, inclusive place where sewists can show up as themselves and thrive. Around here, we adjust crowns, not knock them down.

So when you choose The Moody Sewist, you’re choosing quality with personality, impact with intention, and a business that gets you - because it’s built by someone who is you.

When I’m not sewing or packing up #MoodyMail, I’m mommin’, watering my jungle of plants, kayaking, geocaching, or (most likely) snuggling my cats… possibly while watching The Golden Girls

So stick around, join the Moody Sewist Sewcial Club on Facebook, and follow along on Facebook and TikTok. Let’s make bag-making a little sassier, a little moodier, and a whole lot more fun!

XO, 
The Moody Sewist.
