what an awful bag!

I decided that I was going to use a tutorial to make a new bag for earth day.

I had it all laid out in my mind. I knew what fabric to use, how it would look as a finished project, just the awesome-ness of it all.

While my past few days have been busy with work and a teen who not only went to Philadelphia, but also had her wisdom teeth out, dry socket and all... I have sat and thought about this tutorial. I had some issues with wrapping my mind around what they wanted me to do, but I made a point that after I did laundry today, and bought groceries I was going to do this. for me, for the environment. FOR EARTH DAY!

OH! What a mess! It looked easy, but there was a lot of wasted fabric, (which I hate) sewing over an already sewn seam (which I also hate) and obscure directions that I thought I followed but by the end of the project I realized that I had done it backwards. The end product on the tutorial, stood up. Mine wilted like an old daisy.

I don't really think I rushed into this project, I am pretty certain I had read and re-read it plenty of times, I also don't think that it should have been this complex.

Needless to say, I don't know if I will attempt this again, I may just can the whole thing
