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.sbs
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.sbs
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.

Moonglow New Olive Vinyl – Pebbled Faux Leather for Bag Making
Moonglow New Olive Vinyl is a matte, pebbled faux leather in muted army green, made for sewing bags and accessories on a home sewing machine. Each piece is 18" x 54" and 0.7mm thick: soft and drapey like leather, yet sturdy enough for totes, crossbody bags, purses and pouches.
New Olive has a softer, more drapey hand than our standard Moonglows and pairs beautifully with neutrals, warm tones and bold prints.

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 New Olive 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 patterns work well with Moonglow New Olive?
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.

Great to work with
I’m loving the color and texture of this vinyl. Working on making a wallet for my granddaughter and this vinyl is so easy to work with and feels so good in my hands.
As always, Moonglow is my favorite faux leather to sew with. The quality is top notch and the color is beautiful.
I really like the color and ended up getting another roll when I bought a match up. Have plans for a few bags with this moonglow vinyl.
Been waiting for the color for a while now and it does not disappoint. It is the perfect Army Green and of course is SHH so you know it is top grade. Cannot wait to get started on a project using this gorgeous green.
