After studying a Bachelor of Design (Fashion) at AUT, Nicole from Sitting Pretty got into fashion buying, but left the industry to devote herself to making our cameras more awesome. As she gets Sitting Pretty off the ground, her studio is a spare room at her mum's farm near Muriwai Beach.
My mum taught me how to knit when I was younger and I haven't done much since. But I have recently picked up my knitting needles again and become obsessed with handmade dish cloths...
Amy is my number one girl... I have had her since I was 16 years old and has been perched beside me ever since. She is 9 now, but has always acted like a 90 year old dog so she suits my knitting hobby!!
I sew every Sitting Pretty camera strap myself. I attach the leather part of my camera straps with my old Adler walking foot machine and the fabric part is done on this, my beloved Toyota plain sewer.
My slippers are my footwear of choice when in studio mode!
Sitting Pretty straps on my pegboard. I have a couple of new fabrics in the pipeline - a nice lipstick pink, and a navy which is exciting... plus other designs that are a work in progress...
