Lessons Learned

I just learned that 1) I am not yet an "intermediate" sewer, and that 2) I should probably read directions more closely.  I'm trying to make that bag I posted under my "inspirations" page.  I think I'm figuring it out now, after lots of removed stitches.  But I may have to hand-sew the inside pockets or else I'll have to remove any more stitches... I'm chalking all of this up to experience and once I get through this bag, all the rest will be much easier!!  I LOVE my fabric though!
