Finally!

I made myself a new bag! I have searched and searched the internets for a suitable bag pattern, to no avail. Alas, I had to deconstruct my old bag to use it as a template for the new.

The old bag was one that I bought on Etsy from this seller - she makes lovely practical bags (highly recommended if you're in the market for a newbie).
My little Janome struggled over all the layers of fabric (I broke 3 needles on it!). My workmanship is a little shoddy, but hopefully it still lasts as long as my previous bag, which was of a much higher quality!

The front pocket features some fabric cut from an Aunty Cookie panel.
