Hannah, You bought me the most beautiful sewing book. Not only that, but it's also called Sew Easy and as the title implies it should be easy. And yet I've managed to make a mess of my little project. On page 143 there's the cutest Big Canvas Beach Bag. I thought, yeah, I can make that. I bought metres and metres of nice beachy canvas but then when I got home I thought... what am I doing? I've never made anything apart from a bib and a very simple bunny (all with your help) so I panicked and decided to do a small prototype version. So here it is... Oh! By the Way, I started it about two months ago.

Compare my rubbish version with the one in the book. Ans yes, I know mine has no handles but by that stage I had messed it up. Sorry Hannah, I'll try harder next time, but I know now I'm not born with the sewing gene. I love looking at the book over and over, though!
