Bag Patterns

Nicole Mallalieu Design Patterns are more than just patterns! Graded over four levels of difficulty (from "Beginners" to "Advanced"), with each level teaching more of the fundamentals of professional bag-making, the patterns are a self-paced bag-making course to help you to LEARN and IMPROVE your skills.

Begin at or below your level of sewing ability, and you're sure to achieve great results as you learn techniques to improve your sewing and bag-making.

As you gain confidence and know-how, move on to the next level, and learn a few more techniques... and on and on... (it's addictive!).

The more designs you work through, the more bag-making skills you'll gain.... and the more FABULOUS handbags, totes and purses you'll have to keep, give away or sell!
