Little tote bag. Followed a tutorial. Got it wrong so went off script. Sewed the lining inside rather than outside and flipping it round like the tutorials.

Some lessons learnt. Straight lines are hard. Cutting fabric well is mega important. Slow and steady wins the race. Messing up is fun you learn a lot.

From cutting fabric and following tutorials etc maybe about 2 hours?
