One-Line Bio

My name is Christine and I am addicted to bag making!

Biography

A little about me! I have a hubby, two daughters, 5 cats, 3 dogs and 6 cattle. I live in a lovely peaceful rural area in Northern NSW, Australia.

I’ve been a sewer for as long as I can remember, thanks to my wonderful mum who patiently answered my silly questions!

As a teenager, my passion was making my own clothes....later I went on to design collectable teddy bears and that is when my love of sharing my designs as patterns began and for almost 10 years I not only made the bears BUT made patterns so others could make them too! That’s when I discovered the real joy of making patterns and the satisfaction you get when someone tells you your patterns are easy to follow and such fun to make! But as the years went by my desire to make bears was replaced with BAGS!

I have to admit, I am totally HOOKED on bag making! I have been having so much fun designing and making bags that I have decided to share them with you via my patterns and Blog. I am working on a whole range of different bags and will be progressively making them available as PDF patterns as I complete the pattern instructions and testing on each one!

I do hope you stop by my website or blog (or both! LOL) from time to time to see how things are coming along! I hope you enjoy making bags from my patterns as much as I have enjoyed creating them! Happy bag making!
Cheers,
Christine

Interests

Now that is a good question! Sewing (surprise surprise!), mainly bags and more bags however I do like making an occasional collector teddy bear (OK so I once did that full time BUT the bags took over! LOL) I also love cats and dogs and all sorts of wonderful critters. COOKING and housework are NOT my favourite pass times however and I would MUCH rather be making a bag! I also enjoy spending time with my wonderful children.....oh and sometimes even hubby too! I like to laugh so I love to watch a good comedy movie and I like to watch some drama, scary and love stories too! Oh what the heck....I like a lot of things!
