...but I'm not one to quit.

Last night, I gave this bag another go, and, after fiddling with machine settings, I found myself grinning, once again.

I've gone all out with my new project, purchasing pins. Like a boss.
And look! Basic stitching that doesn't completely suck!

I've turned an torn pair of jeans that was going to the trash into a vaguely decent case for pens and brushes. That's one in the bag, baby. Two hundred to go.
