Ok, so what does "boxed it sideways" mean, I want to learn how to do that now.
A lot of expensive bags deliberately have boxed sideways corners! The rounded inside corners make it easier to find things like keys too! J[/quote][/quote]
It's kind of hard to explain, for me anyway, but I'll try. Okay-you have the front and back right sides together (sides and bottom sewed together) and depending on the size of the bag, you mark say two inches in from bottom corner and two up. Make a diagonal line and stitch on the line and cut away the corner. What I was supposed to do for the "boxy" look was open those corners, match the side seam with the bottom seam and sew diagonally. I hope you understand.
