Meet the maker Helen Dale

Welcome to HandbagsbyHelen
I discovered my love of sewing by accident really. It all started with a wedding dress. I couldn't find the dress I wanted -so I decided I was going to try and make my own from an original vintage 1950's dress pattern. But after the wedding I realised I was bitten by the sewing bug! That's when the fabric obsession started. All my friends and relatives now have one (or maybe two, or more - mum!) of my bags. Having exhausted the supply of friends and family I needed a new outlet to make space for new fabrics, new designs, new colours. HandbagsbyHelen was born! I hope you like my bags as much as I enjoy making them (and choosing the fabrics of course).
