Thank you for your site. The article on box corners is very helpful. I have sewn clothing but never bags. Now I am inspired to try. Because of homeschooling the boys I don’t get to sew very much but it is fun, especially when something turns out well. I saw your skirt. If you want, look at this site: pamela@pamelaspatterns.com. I saw it in a sewing magazine and have used her T-shirt pattern for my mother with great success. The XS is still to big for me but I will keep working with it until I get it right. There is a bias skirt pattern too that I haven’t had a chance to try so I can’t tell you about it.

Thank you for a lovely and very concise tutorial. Your pictures and directions are so good and now I feel more confident that I can make my box corners look identical.
Thanks for helping us to be able to make sharper looking projects. You’ve made my day!

Regarding your instructions on boxing corners:

Would you mind also explaining whether you cut off the extra fabric outsi8de the area sewn? And if not, what can be done to hide or secure the flap?

I appreciate your tips very much. I’ve just discovered your website and have learned several other tips as well (like attaching magnetic snaps). I’m into bags too, and trying to find the perfect bag, with lining, magnetic snaps and a very finished inside.

Thanks for your help. I hope you’re respond to my question above.

Thanks.
Vicky
