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.

Well, I can do that, but the height is in two different pieces, making one piece. So I don't know how much to add to the top piece (which is originally 8.5) and also the bottom piece (originally 6) including a half inch extra (I think) for seams. I know it must be easy, but I just can't get it....... Do I just add one inch to each piece? Is it that simple? lol[/quote]
