You SEW Girl - Nicole Mallalieu Design

Love making bags?  Want to give bag making a try? 

Do yourself a favour and check out Nicole's blog.  Nicole makes gorgeous bags and shares fantastic bagmaking tips to help us create our own.  

Looking for a great pattern or the bits and pieces you need to give your bag those finishing touches?  Nicole also has an online shop stocking her own bag patterns, handles, magnetic clips, D rings, purse feet and all other essential bag making stuff!

I've purchased from Nicole before and she is very helpful and prompt.  I love her bags and am midway through making the scrumptious "Tickled Pink" bag featured in Australian Homespun early last year (No.57 -Vol 9.2 - Pages 60-65).  

Embarrassingly this as been a WIP since early last year.  I started unpicking an incorrectly sewn seam and accidentally unpicked another seam as well, so I put it aside in disgust.  I think a year of sulking is quite enough, it is time to finish it!

So, until next we meet, "You SEW Girl!"
