Hi! Iām Nicole - originally from Australia, I now live in the US with my husband and 4 kids. I like to consider myself a ābeginnerās teacherā, helping you perfect the basics so you can build the confidence to master more complex projects. My motto is, if you can sew and cut a straight line, you can sew any bag. And if you can't sew and cut a straight line yet, I can teach you how! I love to share all the tips and tricks I have picked up over the years. There is a Socrates quote, "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's (sic) writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for", and that is how I think about bagmaking.
In 2020 I began running sewalongs for Geek Garden Fabric which led to the creation of OKSew for easy sharing of tutorials. The name came about from how many times I started a sentence with āOkay, soā¦ā in my early videos. If you wish you can follow my page Lion & Loch, where I share my finished bags.
So, letās get going!
