My Ever Changing Sewing Room!
I was asked in my Facebook Group, Lányos Handmade Pattern Party, what kind of sewing table I use. So, of course, I wondered if anyone here was curious too? I used to use a small folding wheeled cabinet, which was actually perfect for a long, long time. I think I have been using that ever…

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…

What to do with a box of upholstery fabric …
In my quest for the perfect bags, which seems to be a never-ending quest, I have been looking at plenty of styles and sizes, and learning a lot along the way! My sister was kind enough to provide to me an overflowing box of upholstery fabrics she found while cleaning up and clearing out during…

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!
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?!?…

How to sew a recycled denim handbag. Part 2
Back again! To recap last week’s post … I wanted to make myself a 100% recycled denim bag, using denim strips like those bags I saw on Pinterest. Last week I cut up my denim jeans, pieced and sewed the strips together and fused on the interfacing for my outer bag walls. I sewed the…
