Okay - I have a problem. I just made a tote....the pattern is Jelly Bags. the pattern says the size is 16 1/2" x 14 1/2". Is the 16 the heighth or the width??????? The patterns don't stipulate which is which...I've made the tote and it's too narrow!!!! By the time you get the pleat on the sides, you have very little room to reach into the bag!!!! :roll: So is there a rule of thumb for measurements?????? :?: :D
