Clever Girls!

Here are some finished products from my students ..... I am so proud of their interpretations and ability to complete great articles ... here is Di's Swing Bag from my Sewing Basics 2 class ... She used a mossy green corduroy, appliqued a dragonfly to the front flap - and she actually did another little dragonfly on the inside pocket that I failed to photograph ...

She also stitched on a lovely cotton doiley ... and piped the curved edge .... it is fully lined and she even added cotton lace along the shoulder strap - this bag is feast of luscious textures and thoughtful colour combos! Well Done Di!!!!!

And here is Sheryl's Mod Bag .... it looks great in this grey toned curtain / upholstery fabric ...

Complete with belt and buckle ...

And a zippered gusset ...

Here is the pattern ...

Sheryl has industriously completed two of these now, and the third is just awaiting a buckle . ..
This is another upholstery fabric - it has great body and suits this bag to a "T".

Here's the inside zippered pocket ...

Fantastic work girls! Stay tuned .... cleverness is catching on! Don't forget, if you live in the Newcastle / Central Coast region of NSW - you can buy Nicole M Bag Patterns from me - you don't have to do a class - just contact me and pop in!
