That patterns calls for (1) 5" x WOF piece of fabric. After it's stitched, you're supposed to cut that one piece in half. Then you have two 'handles'. I find that these aren't long enough. So I cut (2) 5" x WOF pieces, and just trim off the ends a bit. If I don't trim then off, it's a bit too long.
