OH Lynnie!! Thank you for the unintended laugh! I read this twice and could not figure out why you wanted to make body bags!!

The youtube video was really good. I also like the one from Shabby Fabrics:

Boxy bags are soo useful!

Ah, yes, I seem to have that problem at times, too. I was looking through my TV listings, just yesterday, and saw a show called, "Dead Flies." Couldn't understand why they would make a show on dead flies. Until my husband corrected me and told me it was, "Dead Files", about ghosts, not flies.

Boxy bags are great, thanks for asking about them, now I'll have to make a few.

i just made 2 today. they came out slightly different in size. i've been making the pyramid bags for everyone in a bee i attend for Christmas gifts. so when i was making the boxy bag, (not body bag!!!) so i had to recut. it was a lot easier than ripping it out. when that happens, I'd rather have them a bit smaller than rip, wouldn't you?
