Inside shots of the little bag I posted about a few days ago. The pattern is the zippered pouch from Bend-the-Rules Sewing. This was sort of a trial project, to see if I was interested enough in sewing to seriously consider the idea of getting a sewing machine – as you can tell, I did this one by hand, and I have a lot of issues sewing in a straight line.

This is not making me any less proud, though. Because it’s got a lining! And a zipper that stays in place and zips open and closed! It is giving me all these ideas that I now feel are actually doable – I’d love to try doing another one in patchwork, for instance.

(Seriously, I am like a four-year-old with their first crayon drawing, here. The only appropriate response is to nod and tell me that it’s very nice.)
