Nicole Mallalieu of Nicole Mallalieu Designs http://www.nicolemdesign.com.au/img/Media/self.jpg Nicole Mallalieu has been obsessed by sewing since, as a three-year-old, she watched her teenage sister working at the sewing machine. By the age of 5, she was able to use an electric machine unaided, and hasn’t stopped sewing since. After studying Fashion at RMIT , she worked in the fashion and handcrafts industries in Australia, England and Ireland for 15 years. Since returning to her hometown of Melbourne in 2002, Nicole has developed an international reputation as a designer of sewing patterns and as a teacher of all things sewing and pattern-related. Nicole launched her first range of patterns, website and the beginning of a pregnancy in the same month of 2005, and the juggle of business and motherhood began…. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but Nicole Mallalieu Design has grown the business and is expecting the release of her first book “You SEW, girl!” in May this year. www.nicolemdesign.com.au Ailsa Page of AP Marketing Works About Ailsa - AP Marketing Works Like the Sherlock Holmes of the Marketing World Ailsa finds customers for over 200 businesses where others have failed!
