Since picking up a needle and thread at the age of
three, Nicole Mallalieu has been a passionate designer and maker
of all things "textile". She graduated (in 1989) from
the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, with a degree in Fashion,
and has worked in Australia, England and Ireland, making clothing,
hats, bags and furnishings. She has specialised in one-off, hand-finished
bags and hats for exhibitions, commissions and boutiques, as well
as functional accessories for the commercial market here and overseas.
Since returning to Australia in 2002, Nicole has been developing
bag patterns in conjunction with
teaching courses and workshops in
patternmaking, sewing and bag making. She also writes the occasional
magazine article (Stitches, Get Creative, Homespun etc)
and vast amounts of student notes. She fits all this in around being
a full-time Mum. |
