  • Discover the Lányos Key Fob Pouch Tutorial

    Discover the Lányos Key Fob Pouch Tutorial

    What in the world have I been up to? Well these past few days, the whole province, and the ones around us, are under such a heat wave that we feel like we are living in Hawaii, or somewhere else extremely HOT. I think the temp is 35C (95F) right now? Our whole household, two…

  • I’ve been a little busy, but I am almost done!

    I’ve been a little busy, but I am almost done!

    I have been editing YouTube videos for the Lányos Handmade Channel. In addition to the sewing, I love the technical part of it. Apparently, I love learning new things! “Old dog, new tricks!” doesn’t seem to apply to me, yet! On the recommendation of another more experienced YouTuber, I purchased myself a new toy, and…

    How to install metal rivets on your bags … the easy & inexpensive way!

    *** Originally posted in the Lányos Handmade Shop Blog “Bag News”, just a bit of a technical problem over there and it leaked through here! 🙂 Tools: Some bag makers invest in a LEATHER PUNCH or HAND PRESS or a MINI PUNCH SET.  I use a SEWING AWL. What you need will depend on your frequency of use, the number of layers and…

  • Another Rosie© Bag and the Circle Craft Christmas Market

    Another Rosie© Bag and the Circle Craft Christmas Market

    The holidays are fast approaching and along with organizing and sewing for Designin’ December, I have been asked and have decided to make a few Rosie© Bags as gifts.  I have a few cut out and I’ll be slipping the finished Bags on here as they get done, so you can have a look at them…

  • Back again!  Are you bored with me yet?

    Back again! Are you bored with me yet?

    That’s good, because it looks like I’m only getting started … seems like I have been bitten by the “bag bug” and have made another.  My sister gave me a box of upholstery fabric (the cat “Sophie” is all mine) and I made my first bag with fabrics from it, my tote bag, which I…

  • The “ins” and the “outs” of my new Tote bag … and a few lessons learned!

    The “ins” and the “outs” of my new Tote bag … and a few lessons learned!

    Perhaps you read last week about my trashed (store-bought) Tote bag and the start of my journey to replace it?  If you missed it, you can read Part I here! I’ve been busy this week, learned a lot, and ended up with a great Tote bag – despite the “help” offered to me by My Feline…

  • A simple, but necessary project! (And my #reSEWlutions!)

    A simple, but necessary project! (And my #reSEWlutions!)

    Perhaps you have seen these photos on my Instagram account?  It seems I can’t crochet in peace – Simon will steal my ball of yarn away and Sophie will play with the length of yarn.  This calls for a simple, but necessary project! Perhaps you have seen this advertisement on Facebook or Instagram?  This is…

  • What can I say?  I still had some denim strips left!

    What can I say? I still had some denim strips left!

    And I’m certainly not one to waste recycled denim!  So let’s make another bag.  This one is not quite big enough to hold my iPad, not like the last one I made.  This one seemed to go together quicker too!  Perhaps it wasn’t as “fancy” or perhaps I’m actually getting used to throwing them together?!?…
