Nicole Malallieu and Patchandi
What a fabulous day, spent with other lovely bag making enthusiasts at Nicole's amazing studio in Melbourne.
Sue and Margaret working on their beautiful bags
Nicki was so patient, calm, funny and very encouraging as we spent hours turning our choice of fabrics into wonderful bags.
Helen with her gorgeous finished bag
you can see some of Andi's lovely bag too (both using echino fabrics).
Other Helen with her lovely bag, I love the cane look handles.
This stunning Venetian home dec fabric caught my eye on ebay ages ago, and I have been wanting to turn it into a bag ever since.
Now I have!!
And the back...
All lined and even a clasp and a zipper pocket....!
Check out the gorgeous bag hardware, I love those o rings especially.
Thanks Nicki, your expertise is invaluable, I will have to sign up for a purse making class next!! xo
