Sewing Tips

Boxing Corners

To form the boxing at the bottom of a bag, fold the corners, right sides together, matching the side and bottom seam lines.  To make a 1" box, mark a point 3/4" from the corner on each folded edge.

Draw a line to connect the marked points.  Stitch on the line.  Use the chart to make a larger box.
