I think i've got it. you lined as usual and put an additional piece with a drawstring on top (upside down inside when you were sewing!) It's good to have things with not too much info. You are helping people THINK. It's so lacking.

It must not because you can fold it down over the top. So did you cut it sort of top and bottom apron shaped? like a triangle with a rectangle superimposed below the top point? I've been going through all your (I call them tutorials) posts and you've provided a tremendous amount of knowledge! thank you.<br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422558826253592430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-29200987210980235242016-12-20T22:19:08.794-06:002016-12-20T22:19:08.794-06:00Hello, Naomi!

Seems like the rounded rectangle/oval instruction boils down to: measure out the parts you need, and then use folds and symmetry to make the hand-drawn parts match each other.

The worst mismeasure tolerance, even in something as unrelenting as vinyl, is about 1/8"/3mm over 7"/180mm. Add or subtract for 'turn of cloth'. And then there are the seam allowances, which paint over a gross number of measuring sins. 22/7 will get me there.<br /><br />The topstitching needle choice advice is wonderful.

My hu...Elizabeth, I agree with you. 22/7 is bigger. My husband (engineer) and I have had DISCUSSIONS about the value of pi and the formula for circle-things, and the actual decimal numbers within pi vs 22/7. It's fascinating. Although I still use 22/7 (rather than pi) when I calculate circumferences for sewing, though. And I try to make my diameters multiples or fractions of 7"! Just because that combination yields rounder numbers for measuring, especially against a non-10-base fractional-inch system. So much approximation goes against my Science brain, but sewing is sewing, so I cut some slack (pun not intended). <br /><br />Thank you for pointing this out!LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-7615762442803116192016-01-31T11:30:08.286-06:002016-01-31T11:30:08.286-06:00Yes!

I love the backpack that you just featured but I'm timid to try it in fabrics that I love for fear of ruining it and I'm too lazy and cheap to make a prototype!

Thank you ...As a mathematician pi is not 22/7 :-P <br /><br />Thank you for doing such a comprehensive series - I feel quite confident with zippers, but its amazing what you can learn reading about how others do stuff.

I've been trying to follow along and make as many of the bags as I can, but figuring out the dimensions for the complicated ones is too much for me. I love the fold over shoulder bag, but that gusset has me stumped. <br /><br />And now that you've shown us how to draft a rounded rectangular base, I can get the bag that's been haunting me lately out of my head and into the real world.
