I have been through all the tutorials and can't find it.

I made some yoga mat tote bags recently and it took me ages to get the right size body to match the size circle I wanted on the ends. I'm sure there's a clever maths formula to work it out, but maths was never my strong suit!Katie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314743496161353695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-43101305418330083292016-01-26T23:39:10.162-06:002016-01-26T23:39:10.162-06:00Thank you so much, I am loving this series!

They are such a wonderful resource: I know that I'll be making lots of zipped pouches in the near future as I follow through your instructions... I see myself as a relatively confident beginner, so this is a great 'step-up'! Again, massive thanks.kitty0313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13304677862507826413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-29627097072872681552016-01-25T12:10:03.800-06:002016-01-25T12:10:03.800-06:00Bethany: tips - yes.

Don't need to (unless there are many layers of thick fabric that tend to slide around) - they always align, especially if point #1 is met.<br /><br />Here is a tutorial I did on sew mama sew to show exactly this.<br /><br />http://www.sewmamasew.com/2013/09/cloverleaf-bag-tutorial-pattern/<br /><br />LiErLiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-1219209947156840442016-01-25T08:59:36.593-06:002016-01-25T08:59:36.593-06:00Hello--I know this isn't the point of the abov...Hello--I know this isn't the point of the above post, but do you have any tips on how to make the pouch-bottom-rounded-rectangle fit into the body of the pouch? Or is it trial and error? I usually wing such things, but was wondering if there's a way to make it a bit easier.<br /><br />I'm loving this series by the way--I've sewn a fair number of zippers, but I'm always looking for ways to make them behave better :)Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170032696624433205noreply@blogger.com
