Test Sewist

I happened upon a request on Ravelry to test sew a bag pattern.

I like the look of the bag very much and replied stating I was a new sewer and to see if I would be eligible.

I got the pattern in the mail.

I gathered my supplies which were difficult to find as I went to multiple stores looking for the handle findings.

For a beginner, I think I bit off more than I can chew.  I had a hard to conceptualizing the end result and took all weekend to work on the pieces.  I was successful for a majority of it but had to unsew parts that I messed up.  The zippers were definitely an adventure.

I will need to ask for help on the rest of the assembly and had to put it down for the next free weekend.
