It's a cinch!


Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. That's what happens when you have to work for a living.
 It may be a cinch bag, but not quite a cinch to make - a lot of trial and error, but it gave me a lot to try and learn.   This is my take on a bag from Quilts and More magazine (fall 2010) - "It's a Cinch".  I did a "one-up" on the handle by adding cording and fiber fill - that posed a slight problem when it came to sewing the side seams together, but, after breaking one needle,  I just went real slow and stitched over it two or three times.
