Last week I ordered the Hobo pattern from you...
I'm not a very good sewer, but your instructions are great, (really
good for the dummies, and great notes and warnings - I need that
sort of help) and the pattern worked out really well - I'm impressed... I made the clutch pattern I purchased from you this morning.
I piped the flap, and it came out just beautiful!!!! Your patterns
are just great! Instructions are the most thorough I have ever seen! I'll be raving about your patterns again, honestly Nikki,
you really do the best instructions of pretty much all the patterns
I've used.... Great combinations of diagrams and instructions, and
I love getting complete pattern pieces.... Your variations on designs
are also great. |

| I love your patterns. I find them
to be very nicely engineered! The first one I made was the Belle
which is just too cute. I've made so many of them that I 've lost
count. So I had to get the Day Bag and then of course the Slouch......
Keep designing, PLEASE! ...I wanted to let you know that your patterns are fantastic!
I feel so much more confident about my sewing and ability to read
a pattern thanks to you... ...thank you again for all your help. I finished the purse
and it turned out great! The instructions were very easy to follow
and very helpful. I am looking forward to ordering more of your
products. I've just made one of your "City Bags" ....I couldn't
be happier with the result... Your instructions as always were really
easy to follow and helpful. I love the tips you have in the patterns. Your directions were very clear and easy to follow, and that
made the bag pretty straightforward! “…(flat curved bag). It's fantastic! I've already
made two, and get lots of comments on them. The pattern was so easy
to follow, and now I think I'm addicted! In fact, so much so that
I'd like to buy another pattern.....“ (Next email...)
"..and yes, you can use my comments as a testimonial. More
than happy. I generally have little patience for machine sewing
(I do hand quilting, which I enjoy much more than sitting at a machine),
but the pattern was so straightforward, and the results so immediate
that even I didn't get scared off!” A girl at work thought I was pulling her leg when I told her
I made the bag I was carrying... You've created a monster! I can't stop making bags!! The medium slouch is a great pattern. I couldn't stop looking
at the bag when it was finished! Made my 30cm snap closure bag on Sunday. Just had to glue the
clasp on and was a bit scared to take the plunge. Yesterday I decided
the bag was no good without it so here goes - went on perfectly
the first time - could not believe it - wonder if the next one will
be as easy - there will be more of these bags. The kits are great, well written, easy to follow and fab to
look at, what more can you want? I will be back for more. |

| I am so pleased with the purse you would think I had designed
the whole thing myself. It all went together in about an hour,
everything fitted where it should and it was so easy. The instructions were simple and easy to understand, the
purse itself was much easier to make than I thought, and I look
forward to making many more... |

| Your instructions are brilliant. I
took my time and worked through step by step and it went together
exactly as you said. I can't wait to make another [300mm Snap] .....
I will definitely make more and I will definitely try some other styles
as well, but this will be a favourite! I've never really been a handbag
person, but now I can make my own unique bags, I will be making them
to match every outfit. Thanks again for your kind help. I'll be in touch soon with another order. Carol (NSW) |

I have been using my bag constantly – I love it and so
does everyone at work! I missed not having a class this week. I’ve had a lot of sewing tutors, and you’re by
far the most professional and knowledgeable – and definitely
the most funky… |
