Thank you guys!

@Shiny: I just used regular cotton fabric. When you layer it, it can be surprisingly thick. Most fabric stores just sell that.

@Lekana: Well, it kind of started out with my frustration of over make-up bags. The ones in the stores would either be adorable and too small and fragile, like the really pretty one Huxley's mom bought me for christmas, or they'd be big and really really ugly and plasticy. So I thought "Well, I could probably design my own really cute ones that are just right.

And then I asked Monda to show me some sewing projects for beginners and give me advice, so I ran out and get a sewing machine and fabric and started with one of the most simple thing you can make, pretty much, which is a tote bag!
