Such a Disappointment

I whipped up a practice Rural Messenger with some orange fabric my Nana gave me and I don't know what went wrong! First of all, I was having all kinds of trouble with the sewing machine (I hate winding bobbins!!) And I could only find my little silver pins with the flat heads so my thumb is very sore! Somehow, I mismeasured one of the pieces and ended up about an inch short on one side of the lining...and there were a few other mishaps...at any rate, thank goodness it was only a practice run. At least I know what to watch for when I do the real one. I think I will do another practice one, but not tonight...
