i chose charlie to be my first sewing project. i had some difficulty in the beginning, but figured it all out halfway in the middle. one thing i have to tell myself is to relax because i gave myself a headache stressing out while working on it.
i followed the directions completely. i like how it came out and will be making more.

I also started with the Charlie bag as my first project and I know how stressful sewing can be, but: it gets better :) Practise is your friend and soon sewing will be a lot of fun :)
