Hot off the press (sewing machine that is)

Just completed my first bag for possible sale. It was an exercise in being meticulous to say the least. I wanted to note down how long it took to construct including ironing, sewing, cutting out etc so I can give an accurate time allotment to making them (and also make sure it's a fair price).
But, my goodness, some of the construction was a bit of a brain teaser! As I am putting a lining in the base as well as the sling handle, it's a bit tricky to work out how to put the two parts together and hide the seams. I attempted it twice and still ended up with some crooked/overlapping sewing on the inside of the bag (see photo below). So, I'm offering the bag at a discounted price of $25 because of the irregularities in the stitch quality on one seam. If you're interested in purchasing it, please contact me. Or if you want to place an order - I do have a selection of colours and fabric choices you can look over.
I'm excited though, first one out of the way and I know I can do it!! Hoping the motivation continues...
