Hi, i'm new to the community... and crafting also. But i've been making things with my hands ever since I could remember. I learned how to use the sewing machine recently, but i've been practicing like crazy! Does anybody have simple and quick instructions on how to make a really small bag/purse? Simple like a tote bag, but one small enough that I can hold it in my hand... small enough to hold my phone, a couple bucks, and chapstick, or something like that? Just to practice, and if it turns out nice, to keep, if not, just to learn/fix mistakes/create my own style, if that makes sense? Thanks!

(oh yeah! I'd love new friends! Don't be shy!)
