My bff wants a bow tucks bag, but she wants it bigger, so she can use it for work.
The pattern calls for the top piece 8.5 x 19 and the bottom piece 6 x 19. The end result is the front and back pieces being 14 x 19. I figured that I can extend the width from 19 to 21 so I can still maximize the fabric, but what would I do for the other part?? I hope the question is clear. It's confused me to try to figure out and trying to explain it has further confused me. lol. The math is NOT my strong point. |
If you plan to add two inches to the width, way don't you just do the same with the height. So instead of 8.5 X 19 you would make it 10.5 X 21. See what I mean?

Eeek! Can only do quilt math. Sorry :(.

I would add an inch to each piece. That way the seam between the two pieces will be in about the same place as it was. Hope I didn't confuse you more!

That is what I would do. That way it will be the same addition on both parts if that makes sense.

21 is approximately 10% larger than 19. 19x1.1=20.9
Multiply by 1.1 |
It was late when I was looking at this last night and I wasn't very clear. I guess I should have said instead of 8.5 X 19 make it 9.5 X 21 and instead of 6 X 19 make it 7 X 21. You would end up with it being 16 X 21 instead of 14 X 19. And yes, the .5 is the seam allowances.
