This is my first post here, I'm a long-time lurker though. I'm Becca, I'm 15, I'm from Hertfordshire...

Anyway, here's a bag I made. It's the first thing I've actually made myself, but I've made a couple of skirts and a sewing case in school, which I was pretty proud of too. Here it is:

And a bit more close up:

I had to make it a link because when I just put the picture in it went ridiculously huge...

I know it's far from perfect and the stitching is really wonky, but I still like it. I couldn't resist making it. I was sitting there staring at my favourite pair of black cords with the big rip in them and I decided to give them a new life as a bag :D I used the waistband as the bit along the bottom of the flap, and some old lining fabric that I had leftover from a skirt I made to line the bag and to be the underside of the strap (unfortunately my camera's batteries ran out before I had a chance to take a picture of the bag open with its lining showing :()

So, what does anyone think? Constructive criticism appreciated.

Man, I hope this works... I just spent like 30 minutes trying to work out how to use Image Shack, it's changed since I last used it hehe... *hits self*
