this is probably one of my first posts in here. well, i've posted before, but never posted any pictures of anything i made. i am a beginner with this whole sewing thing. i prefer designing and whatnot, but when it comes to sewing, i'm not all that great. i've made a skirt before (which I never wore, it was mainly just a practice project and a way to get the feel of the sewing machine and learn how to use a pattern). I've also made pillows. plain, simple pillows. yup, i'm pretty new to this.
my boyfriend bought me an old singer sewing machine (like from the 60's or 70's, not sure) and i had trouble with it all the time. until he figured it out and made it work for me!
I have never made a bag, of course, but this community has inspired me to try it. i think it is pretty easy to do. the bag i made was mainly for practice. although it doesn't look good, i would like to post the picture anyhow.
i made this bag out of an old le tigre polo shirt. the inside is lined from an old t-shirt as well. the bag itself is pretty nice, for me, i think, but the strap is where it gets kind of hairy. oh well. here is the picture anyhow. let me know what you think of it. it's a pretty simple bag, but i thought it was pretty cool. i'll probably never use this thing and i can't really sell it since it's very poor. oh well! it was fun making it though. i think now i will go make something else :)
