if at first you do not succeed ...

I made this music bag a little while ago for my daughter, but it was too small because I didn't use an actual music book to measure the size (I know ... sometimes I do the silliest things).

This time, I did use a music book. 

HOWEVER, apparently she also takes a 3-ring binder to her lessons, which - of course - does NOT fit.

Sooo, I guess the third time is the charm ... or at least I hope it will be.  Thank goodness this bag is really quick and easy.

(Floral fabric available here, and it's on sale too!)

It's so gorgous it doesn't matter that it doesn't fit! For me a bag with 16" x 16" works best but perhaps you should make it a bit bigger to fit a binder in it, too.
Have a great weekend, Hildy

You have a very lucky daughter! I would have loved it if my mum had made anything as pretty as this when I was younger!

My girls took music lessons too!
I would have been thrilled for them to have such special a bag.
