Using the zig-zag stitch put together four sheets of plastic. Consult chart for sizes. For instance the two pieces that will be come the must be at least (if your medium) 61cm across and 68cm high. The arm is the same length every time because some of the shoulder becomes the arm. Don't cut out the pieces yet.
You will need to refer back to this chart.
For people who cant read the chart the second picture has image notes translating it.

If you are only making a small object (a card case for my Magic cards), could you skip the sewing and instead fuse at right angles along the seam?

I mean place two sheets against each other at right angles (one flat and one pointing down) and fuse with the iron. Also, I tried it, and it isn't strong, but it worked. Also also, I found that anything thicker than five layers (2 and a half bags) was too thick and got holes in it and didn't fuse properly
