AB Weekender Bag: Almost Done!

I can't even believe it...I'm actually getting through this thing!  I think all the negative hype about this bag made it kind of this unattainable thing in my head.  But I'm attaining it!  Don't get me wrong.  It's still the hardest thing I've ever sewed.  But if I can do it, I'm convinced that anyone with an intermediate knowledge of sewing can do it! 

I'm currently in the middle of the 11th step (there are 13), and I needed a break, so I thought I'd just post some more pictures.

It even looks like a real bag!!!  I don't know what I was expecting, but there was a part of me that thought when I was finished with it, it might not even look like a bag.



When it's totally done, I'll post pictures (of course) as well as the modifications I made. 

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
