I saw an idea making a large box in a bag that used a 9” piece of Designer Series Paper which gave me the idea to alter the dimensions in order to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet. I usually make multiples so using a piece of Designer Series Paper that size wasn’t to my liking. First, I altered it to make a bag that had a 1 1/4” square bottom and I really liked the size. Then, I thought it might be less wasteful to make it a bit bigger and still get six from a 12 x 12 sheet but with no waste. I went back to the math and came out with my larger bag measurements. To see how I put both bags together, be sure to watch the video replay on my YouTube channel.
