My first project....

and this is what I learned. 1. When a pattern gives you measurements, they are more then a suggestion. This is hard for me. When I scrap, I don't measure so this will be a new challenge. 2. Remember how to wind bobbin. I forgot and then didn't feel like changing it. I actually liked the contrast in stitching in some places. 3. Make sure everything is attached. I made a hem for the top but didn't completely attach the lining. See #1. 4. My scrap room is not set up for sewing. I don't have a great deal of space to cut large pieces of fabric and I had to stand to sew. This doesn't work as well as standing to scrap. I will be yard saleing tomorrow in hopes of finding a cheap solution for the time being. 5. Make bigger bag. This thing will not fit much pool stuff in it at all. It's a good thing I bought extra fabric. I will be able to use this for work or just running around. I'm pretty impressed with myself for a first try. Now to see if it will hold anything.
