Sewing for idiots

I wanted to make Claire a tote bag for her dance shoes, since she didn't have anything for them. Found this tutorial: http://www.home-ec101.com/make-it-this-weekend-basic-lined-totepurse/ But the step where you have to put the pieces all together wasn't super clear, and I was confused. So after picking and redoing the same top seam twice, it's finally done!



 It's fully lined, and it has a box bottom so it's nice and roomy. Of course I didn't do the handle like she said, because I thought that was boring. Mine looks better. And the part that I improvised ended up being the easiest part for me. Whatever. And it's far from perfect, but she likes it, and that's all that matters. :D
