Learning to use the new machine

I love pinterest.  I think I spend more hours a day looking at that site, than anything else I do.  I find so many great ideas.  This one seemed so cute, and since I bought a new sewing machine I thought I would try it out.
I made my own pattern out of newspaper, and just used some scraps of fabric I had from previous projects.

As I am writing this, the little owl purse it being taken to Ottawa to go to its new home.  This whole project took about 2 hours, and I am sure that could be minimized by knowing how to work your sewing machine.
