Congratulations on winning the book - I know you wanted it and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it! The wristlet is a lovely pattern. Can't wait to see what you make from the book.
ReplyDeleteAh I remember reading an article in The Age newspaper a couple of years ago about Nicole. She designs.makes wonderful bags etc. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Carol, that book looks fantastic!!!! I can't wait to see what you make! That little bag is super cute! X
ReplyDeleteI saw this at the ABC Shop. For a non-sewer I was amazed at how much I wanted a copy! It is stylish and has very cute projects (like your Exhibit A there). Enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteLucky you!!
ReplyDeleteYippee it arrived! I've made the handbag version of the wristlet for my sister and she loves it.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl...I hope you find some time to make and then show some goodies.
ReplyDeleteLucky you - what a great book to win! Part of the fun is deciding what to make and reading about it first. The little bag does look lovely.
