Cinch Bag

I bought this fabric a year ago when Annie started dance class. Today, she blessed me with a good nap, allowing me time to pick up a long-neglected project.

I followed this tutorial:

I did line the bag (I had extra fabric, and since it was a basic cotton, I figured it couldn't hurt.) All in all, it took me less than an hour. And she's thrilled with her new ballet bag!
