It's been a while since I did any sewing, but I've had the fabric for this bag half cut out for about a month so yesterday I decided to sew it together.
It's made of three different fabrics, but you could use just two or even one. Here it is finished:

This bag's finished size is 29cm x 32cm, so it's just big enough to fit an A4-sized magazine. The handles are stiffenned with some iron-on interfacing (which I managed not to stick to the iron or the ironing board) but the bag itself is just made of cotton fabric. Hopefully I won't break it too soon!
