Pattern Testing

I'm testing Nikki from You SEW Girl's latest pattern. This is how far I got today:

 Doesn't look much like a shopping bag yet, does it? But it will! I'm up to attaching the zip, which is definitely a challenge, as Nikki says in the post I linked to. The biggest challenge for me is keeping my fingers out of the way of the iron while fusing bits and pieces into place. Unfortunately I had to stop before I finished it today because of fading light, so you'll have to come back later in the week to see the finished shopping bag.
