Well, this turned out better than I expected.  There are quite a few errors, but since this bag is for me, I’m not too concerned.

As stated in my earlier post, I messed up on the seam allowance.  Since I had just sewn the lining, I didn’t bother to rip it apart.  Its the inside and I figured that noone would know but me!  And the magnetic closure is slightly off center.  Whoops.

But its cute, and I like it.

Lessons learned:

• read directions.  again.
• topstitching.
• inserting a magnetic closure.
• machine applique.
• piping.
