When I was at the Australasian Quilt Convention I discovered Nicole Mallalieu Designs. I purchased Nicole’s book You Sew Girl. I have sewn a number of the items in the book and I have enjoyed everyone of them. I now have some new ensembles in my wardobe. I have used Nicole’s patterns for the City bag, panel skirt and shirt. I used a green denim suiting as my base fabric. I then used the Reflections Hydrangea fabric for the panel on the skirt and the bag flap. I used the Reflections Vine Fabric for the bag lining and the Reflections Ivy fabric for the bag handle.
My next ensemble started with a purple denim suiting. The colour is warm and has a glow about it. I used the Yugyoka yellow fabric for the panel in the skirt and the panel in the bag. This is the first bag that I have designed by myself.

I have found all of Nicole’s patterns easy to follow. She gives a great base for you then personalise your garments. Her book also includes patterns for belts, I’ve made 2, zipper pouches, hats and other bags.
