Hi Nikki,
I too am new to this bloging thing, and just found you from Meet me at Mikes. What gorgeous purses. Congratulations.
Pick me, pick me!! Please!!
Pick Me! Pick Me! Pick Me! These are delightful!
My goodness, this tester had better get off her rear and get you that feedback! Methinks that I have a deadline! I'll cut out today I PROMISE! And hopefully even start construction - little baby has just gone down for her nap - so sewing room, here I come.
They look great! Could someone who has never made a purse or bag of any type manage to make this do you think?
what a wonderful generous giveaway! I would love to win one, they are gorgeous!! :)
oh my so pretty! I haven't had much experience making bags/purses, but this is one I would defintly love to try out!
I'm having fun making a laptop sleeve - found your tutorial just when I needed it so many thanks!
Your purses look so cute - I'll definitely be checking out the store :)
What a great use for a purse frame! I look forward to seeing the pattern.
What a cool purse!
ooohh how exciting i love purses!!
Looking forward to the class next week. Count me please.
Kerry
Please count me in. What a great giveaway and great purses!

Sharon

Please throw my name in the hat. I would so love to win. Thanks for sharing with us.

There's no email or blog address to answer Vireya's question, so I thought I'd put it out there to all...
I forgot to mention (oops) that you need to be fairly competent at the ol' sewing machine for this one. Setting in a curved shape and all.... If you've never set in a sleeve (or any other curved shape to a straight one) it's probably best to ask an experienced sewing friend to help... or to make it for you.

Please include me for the give away.
Thanks

What a cute bag! I've never worked with purse frames, but I'd love to try.
can I play too :) I love your bags, sometimes I wish i were in Melbourne to attend your classes too!
oh my gosh, these are wonderful! I'd LOVE to win! I too, have never worked with purse frames, but they make a purse look so much more professional.
I just discovered your blog and I think it's fabulous. I can't believe all the tutorials. I'll definitely be back to visit.
wow, so cute! I'd love to try making one!
wow. the teardrops are gorgeous! i cant wait to get to one of your classes!
Very, very cute!
I've just started screenprinting on fabric and wanted to turn a couple of prints into something practical. I discovered your website after 'googling' for 'bag patterns' and now I can't decide if I should turn my designs into purses or bags. So even if I don't win a kit, I'll probably buy one(or two) patterns anyway.
They look great. I love your fabric choices.
Michelle

Another fantastic design Nikki - cannot wait to have a crack at it myself!
This is one the most unique bags I have seen in a while. It's terrific.
What a wonderful bag -- love it! Love your site!!!
Hi Nikki
I think I am addicted to your website! I found it about a month ago and have visited it a million times!
I have only recently got the handbag sewing bug and your site is an inspiration.
I have just ordered a couple of patterns and can't wait to receive them.
The teardrop purses are gorgeous.
Thanks again. You are an inspiration.
Nikki
*swooooooooooooooooooons* Just toooo lovely, my dear! I must have one!
Very sweet little purses! The kits look fabulous.
Sweet purse. Will purchase it once it's available. Your work is wonderful. Glad I found you while surfing the net.
I love the teardrop shape. The shape and the closure reminds me very much of a purse my older sister had in the late 60s. Then, my sister could stop at a gas station, snap open her teardrop purse, which was brown leather, fish out a few quarters, nickels and dimes and buy enough gasoline to drive around all day in her Chevy II!
Absoutely love the design!
Cute, cute purse!! Love the shape.
Very, very cool. One of these days I'll make purses again and I'll definitely be using your patterns.
Wow... it's gorgeous... and you are giving one away!! I don't get out much but I'm certain the local sheep would love to see me strut my stuff across the field with this beauty!!
Fingers... toes... legs crossed...
taking tablets for cramps!
Jocelyn.
I LOVE that!!! So cool... hope I win :)
This is too cute! I love it! Count me in please!!!!!
Hope I am not too late to leave a comment?! Just the most adorable purse...sigh...
OMG this purse is DARLING! I will definately be adding this to my pattern collection, I would love to make one for the fall!!
Absolutely darling!
The purse is so adorable. the design is unique!
Thanks all for contributing your comments.... WE HAVE A WINNER!! I'll post abut it later this evening. Congratulations Stacy A!!!
