The drawstring bag went together super easily; the only part that was the slightest bit difficult was stitching around the casing, because you do that after the bag is sewn together, but I had made mine a little bit narrower than the directions. However, it was doable. I had more trouble with the padded pouch for my phone - no fault of the instructions at all, which were very easy to follow, but because my walking foot was acting up and making a mess of my topstitching. It came out alright though, and it will be great for throwing my phone in my purse. I need to keep it from getting any more dinged up from junk inside my bag than it already is, and this is perfect!
I have to say, I especially liked the drawstring bag tutorial. I think I will make it again for other things. It was super simple and I love that the lining creates a nice, neat inside. This picture is NOT good (sorry about that) but you can kind of see how the inside looks:
I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself for actually DOING something. I listened to a podcast interview on CraftyPod yesterday with an author that was pretty inspiring, and I'm definitely going to order his book when I get back from our trip.
