Sting was made by the Elves, the mithril shirt by Dwarves, mithril was only found in Moria, and forged there. In the book I beleive Gandalf tells Bilbo that the mithril shirt was probably made for some Elven prince or something to that effect. But Sting was made in Gondolin for the wars between the Elves and the forces of Morgoth.
