Cut Out + Keep

Bag With Bow

My first attempt at the sewing machine!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/bag-with-bow-2 • Posted by Apollonia D.

So, here is my first sewed thing ever! My mum explained the sewing machine yesterday, and because I already knew the techniques of hów to make something, since I made things when I was little, but just by hand, it turned out pretty well! It's just a simple bag, wanted to keep it simple for my first attempt. I used fabric from an old pillowcase and a shirt which didn't fit anymore. Unfortunately, my mum spilled some wine over it yesterday evening, but I'm going to wash that out obviously, but I really wanted to upload it, so please just don't look at the stain(s). I think you can do this in 1 hour or something, but because I don't have that much experience and our sewing machine is like 20 yrs old, so I had troubles all the time which hindered me, I did it in like three hours : P
