It started out to be a simple grocery bag, but then I decided to experiment with stabilizer/interfacing. The inside is from the legs of an old pair of jeans, the outside is just cute. I'm very proud. There are some messy seams and such, as can be expected from a first attempt (seriously, I don't even really sew), but I love it. It may make a better bookbag than grocery bag, since the bottom is not too wide.
I think I learned a lot. Like next time I'm not going to sew the handles on until the end (it kind of grew as a project as I made it, so that was a mistake). Also, there is an optimal assembly order and the pattern piece I made for the bottom was a wee bit too long. I also discovered this awesome bag making blog.
