I started making my 2nd bow tucks bag. I had bought the fabric at a thrift store not realizing that some had been cut off the side. Anyway, I made the front & back panels and the lining pieces. When I made the pockets for the lining it was 1" short. I decided to cut an 1" off the outside panels and the lining. Now I'm wondering about the 2 1/2" seam (Line A on the pattern directions) for stitching the sides of the pockets to the lining. Should I make that 1/2" shorter on both sides or should I leave it the 2 1/2"? Thanks!
