Where to go next with bag making
Drawstring bags, boxed bases and resizing.
- Resize the tote with the half-the-depth rule for boxed corners.
- Try a drawstring PE kit bag with a 1.6 x 1.6 in (4 x 4 cm) boxed base and eyelets.
- Make drawstring bags in any size: add 1 in (2.5 cm) (1 inch) to the width and about 3 in (7.5 cm) (3 inches) to the length.
