Being Crafty: Sewing!

I am not a seamstress. Sewing is a skill I am trying to improve. I can do the basics like sew in a straight line. But actually creating something is fairly hard. I decided on a project for myself. I was going to make a bag. Whether this was a simple grocery bag, or what, I didn't know. I had the fabric and I decided to go for it!
It took me probably about 8-10 hours of manpower to make but I finished it.


The material is just a simple blue canvas. I cut the hearts out of an old t-shirt. One side has 3 hearts and one side has 2.


I cut out each of the sides as a seperate piece which I will not do next time. The sewing is a little uneven, as are the sides, but for a homemade bag/purse, and my first attempt, I think it turned out great!
The inside has a small pocket and a hook for my keys.


I have some other fabric that I am going to make bags out of. Now that I think I've got the basic idea, I should be able to do this fairly easily the next time!
I think I leveled up on my sewing skills!
