Description
This is my first sewing project ever!!! I bought a sewing machine 4 days ago, and I am already obsessed! It took me the whole weekend to finish the bag, but the effort has really worth it. I am really proud of the result, despite the imperfection in some details, and considering I started sewing 2 months ago, once a week. I really hope I can carry out more projects!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the wonderful pattern!!!!!!!!
Material Notes
Corduroy for the inside and the handles, knit for the outside.

I love this bag! Im just learning too and this will be the first project I attempt. Im glad to know that it’s attainable for someone like me who doesn’t even know what “basting” means! LOL
Good Job :)

The bag looks great! You can’t tell you have only been sewing for a short period of time. The quality of your sewing looks really good!
