I made a tote bag!! After I spent a few hours trying to decipher the tutorial (picture fail) and then cutting out the pieces (sometimes twice, I'll admit), it was pretty fast going. Of course it still took me about 3-4 hours, but now that I know what I'm doing I feel confident I could make another one in an hour (or at least in under two hours).
The sewing itself is pretty minimal, and I love that the bag is reversible (half the time to sew??)! I had originally wanted to make the bag fold up and sew a little pouch for it to go in, but I decided to add a stabilizer in the base so folding isn't really an option anymore. I might make another one just to try the fold-and-store approach (I have some fun ideas for the pouch, based on a design I saw at SF MoMA).
And hooray, one whole item to mark off my CPA!!!! I've officially finished something:)
