Well, I just finished my first sewing project - the tote bag. If you don't look too close I think it is okay. I had some problems attaching the handles, I think I will do it differently on the next bag. Also, the lining was just a teensy bit smaller than the outer part of the bag which caused some rumpling when I sewed it in. I am not sure how to fix that other than doing a better job cutting and sewing the lining to start with. I think I might try to line the second bag differently to see if it turns out a bit better. We will see how it goes. Here is a photo of the first bag:
Just so I am not stepping on anyone copyright-wise this bag design was found in the book SEW Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp .
Dener!! This is so COOL!! It looks great! Like something you would buy in a store! Seriously! Impressed at your first sewing "attempt"...I think it was more like a success! :>
