Can you cut a rectangle? Sure, I knew you could.

Here are the rectangles that you'll need to make a 7" wide x 10" tall bag. For a wider bag, add to the width of your rectangle, for taller, add to the length.

If you are making the bag wider, you may need more than a quarter yard of fabric.

NOTE: It's a really good idea to iron your fabric before cutting.

From the cover fabric, cut
  • one 8.5"x29"
  • two 1.5"x48"
  • two 1.5"x8.5"

From the lining fabric, cut
  • one 8.5"x29"
