A Bag for Me

Some of you may remember I sewed SEVEN of these oilcloth bags at Christmas for teacher's gifts... I had one more kit left from my LQS and made it up for myself. I usually use my oilcloth totes from the Purl Bee tuturial for grocery shopping, but this one will be nice for larger, bulkier items.
And I love this fun lacey fabric for the lining...but it was one of those fabrics that had to go in the inside because there was no way I wanted to mess with centering motifs and matching sides that perfectly!

I have always been intrigued by the oilcloth. Do you find it difficult to work with?
