My first sewing project: a morsbag!

Well today I sewed my first project on my new sewing machine. It's the first time I've sewn anything in a while (not that I ever really sewed much before). But anyway, I think I did a good job for my first project. It's obviously not a professional job - and I can see where I messed up, but still pretty good. It only took me a couple hours and numerous phone calls to my sister! =) I'm hoping to get better with time and more practice. Here's a couple pictures of my bag:





Oh, and if you'll notice the top right corner of the bag, you'll see my really BIG mistake I made today. I wasn't being careful when I was cutting the fabric and cut a big gash in one of my side pieces. I sewed it back together with a zigzag stitch. Then I also managed to put it at the top of the bag where it'd be most noticeable. Oops!
