Nicole Malallieu and Patchandi
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.

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

What a wonderful opportunity you had to learn from Nicole and have fun with Andi and all the others there.
Wow, that Venetian fabric really makes that bag. Good job!
I LOVE your bag!! You really picked a great use for this fabric. Very special. I'm sure you'll have fun wearing it! I hope this means that your shoulder is better. No need for a reply!
I love your bag, and its the perfect way to show off that wonderful fabric!
Aren't they the best day out? You go home so much wiser! Gorgeous bag, that fabric sure had a purpose!
Love your bag, the fabric is beautiful....... nice ladies, nice class, a great day to remember....

I believe I have made a bag or two. :o) I love using hardware. Love the fabric you used for your bag.
Love your bag! Looks like a great day was had by all! I love making bags. Probably my favourite item to make.
Lots of Lovely Bags..Looked like a Great Group of Ladies...
Love your Fabric & Style..
Not Long Now.
cheers
That is the perfect fabric for your lovely bag. I also very much like the "pattern" you used (the shape of the bag, the size, the handles with "o" rings, etc.) It's really lovely - you did a great job!
Great bags...looks like a great day out!
Love your bag, I have to do a class with Nikki if half of what she passes on in her patterns comes out in the class it will be worth it. She is amazing.
Nikki is amazing isn't she!
what a great day you all had. love your bag & fabric choice.

I have several unfinished bag projects. I start, and then get discouraged that they don't turn out quite right... in fact, a bag making workshop sounds like a wonderful thing to suggest to a quilting guild to run.
That's beautiful!! I wish I could have been there... I have been talking about making a bag just like that for years! Suppose I will have to dream a little longer...
I just realised how colour-coordinated Andi and I are!!!
Thanks so much for coming to the class, Cathy - it was great to meet you. And many thanks for kind words here.
Yay for crafty stitching days with ace people and excellent learnings!!
Your bag is wonderful!!
Andi xx
Wow what a great class. Makes me want to do one. The bags are all fabulous
That fabric is to-die-for and your bag looks so professional. Nice job!
Fabulous Cathy. Great choice for the fabric. What a lovely day you had.
