In textiles I made a bag to hold my other textiles stuff. It looks like this.

I lined it and put a zip along the top.

I didn't like that sometimes the sewing machine didn't work.

I learnt how to use a zipper foot.

I think I could work on picking up the pace.

Grain - all pieces are at an exact right angle to each other and they need to go 
up and down
