If you're a perfectionist, then I would consider making your first bag with less expensive fabric so you can work out the kinks. I was very happy with how the outside of my bag looked, but I have a couple minor kinks inside that I hope to improve upon on my second go-around. If you're not a perfectionist, then I say go ahead with your 1st choice fabric. Overall, once I figured out the pattern, it was not an overly difficult bag to make.
Good luck!
