I just bought the pattern and will cut it out now. I think this will be gifts for my 3 sisters for Christmas this year. And my daughter, daughter-in-law, and nieces!!!!! Of course i'll see how the first one goes!! Your demo was terrific!!
Oh how exciting! I think “handmade with love” are the best gifts. If you’re on Facebook, please post photos in the group, I’d love to see your creations! If you have any questions, it’s easy to ask me there! Happy Sewing!
Definitely! I have a few things that can punch holes but after a few my wrist gets sore with squeezing the handles together or pushing the handle down. This is an entirely different motion and I love it! :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for the great video and pattern! this is the 4th pattern I have bought to try to make this style of wallet. This one turned out the best! The only thing I would add is the one of the other patterns she sew ed the ends of the zipper tails at the end with a scrap strip to secure them .Very happy with my wallet and will be making more! thanks again!!
Thank you very much for your comments! I’m glad you are enjoying the pattern and video. And that’s a great add on idea for the pattern, thank you for sharing that! 🤗
Your welcome and thank you for watching! It is a great quick bag for craft shows and markets and it is also good for beginners. It has a Sling version too - so a double whammy!
Oh these look quick and easy! Perfect for batch sewing for craft fairs or small gifts, and you can even use it as a gift card holder! Thanks for sharing!
Thing is, I don't really want to have 2 sets of stitching on each side. Maybe tape? Using suede instead of cork on my bag, along with cotton. Thank you for your video! Very helpful!
Yes, if you have a good glue for your cork or suede. I’d test it myself to see if it “sticks” and stays over a few days, doesn’t dry up or crack and fail, is bendable. I alternate depending on my mood between lots of stitching lines to one on each side. I have used DST too instead of sewing but I don’t know how permanent that is, so I add in a line of stitching. Perhaps a DST for leather would be a stronger “stick”. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Oh yes definitely! I wasn’t sure it you wanted to glue only or not. 😊 Definitely, I have used some DST to save on stitching and then sewed once on each edge to finish it off! Definitely ✅
I haven’t posted a video about that yet, sorry! I plan on using them for a future pattern though. I’ve seen a couple of ways, one is like a D ring tab. Attach the bridge to your bag. Slide the strap through and sew it to itself. The other way was more decorative, the bridge was attached and the strap just run through and hanging loose with a strap end. Of course with that one the strap was sewn to the bag above and below the bridge. Of course you could use rivets instead of sewing with either way. I hope that makes sense!
I have Janomes, an HD3000 and a MC8200 and a 3160QDC, and Singer vintage machines, 421G and 500. The 3160Qdc is not the best for bag making. I think the key fobs have been sewn on the HD3000.
Hello! This zipper is not folded at a right angle, although some methods do have you fold the zipper at a right angle to make sure it stays out of the SA. I think I might have even done that with one of the pouches I did a video of here too. In this video, I sewed the zipper tape on RST with the fabric from end to end, 3:48 and 5:16. I stayed out of the SA when stitching up the sides and topstitching, 9:05 and 11:04. Also, I made sure that in the end the zipper teeth were facing the outer fabrics 12:03. I have seen others insist on facing their zipper teeth towards the lining fabrics, but I have always had more success with the zipper teeth facing towards the other fabrics so that when I turn the pouch the zipper teeth are already facing up and out properly. I hope that helps and Happy Sewing!
@@lanyoshandmade thanks, I have noticed also that other tutorials tell you to have the zipper face towards the lining. I guess to clarify, and where I’m having trouble is near the end. The part where you face your zipper towards the fabric. Does it need to lie flat or is the zipper folded over in order to sew it together? I’m not sure if this makes sense or not.
Hi again! That's ok! I like "bag chat"! I have followed the method to have the zipper face the lining. It isn't wrong, it's just wrong for me. Over many years of sewing I have noticed some things gain popularity, lose and then gain again. I think it is all based on the teacher conveying the idea, the sewist's ability to follow it, then it can come down to machines and materials too as to whether one method is better than another. It's all an individual choice of what works for you. A lot of sewists have problems with the zipper being swallowed up at the ends. My first did too. In this video I was using small lightweight plastic teeth zippers for small pouches and they were first sewn flat from edge to edge of the fabric so they were able to bend on their own after in the SA. After that I did not topstitch into the end seam allowances and made sure that the teeth were not sewn into the seam allowance, just the flimsy zipper tape at the end. If you use zipper tabs, they can't be sewn into the seam allowance neither. That takes care of it so it isn't eaten up at the ends. I do have another video, where the zipper tape was bent at the end 90 degrees down so that it was not sewn into the SA at all. Perhaps that method would be more to your liking, especially if you have heavier zippers? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2mVCrYMHanM.html Have you joined the Lányos Handmade Pattern Party Facebook group?

Hello! Yes, I am in transition here. You caught me in the midst of transferring files and renovating things. I am going to charge for it in the Shop when I add the SVG (cutting machine) file to the pattern. It IS free and always will be free in the Facebook Lányos Handmade Pattern Party Group for members. (Send me an email at lanyoshandmade at gmail dot com and I'll email it to you, since I haven't finished my "renovations" yet ... or join the Facebook Group Lányos Handmade Pattern Party and check out all the free patterns!)
This was cool! I never knew so much was involved. I really liked the two-toned strap with the material on one side and that gorgeous blue cork on the other side.
It’s pretty easy once you get used to it and having proper tools can make all the difference with how easy it can be and how quick. They are lovely colours, aren’t they! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I LOVE the laptop case with the skulls. I love it so much that I'm going to illustrate it. Also, the heroine in my novel has that laptop case. It's really cool to feature a local creative in my novel. A great cause, the donations for the ALS.
Thank you for your support! I'm going to finish loading up this one and then start on the Primrose videos. You might have heard ... my laptop and internet service are NOT my friends. I have to be "gentle" when uploading! ;) What materials are you planning to use for your Primrose?
