Hi Janaina, Do the second option – square all four corners by themselves, lining and outside. Joan

Hi!
I’m willing to try this on a linned bag… I wonder how should I proceed:
1) add the linning and THEN try you square method, cutting them from both pieces together.

2) do the square method both on outer side AND linning and then sew the 2 parts together.
Sorry, I’m just starting and will surely make LOTS of dumb questions till i get the hang of it! LOL.

I’ve made many bags over the years using different methods to finish this kind of bottom……over a year ago I came across this method…….I love it ,I get a nice bottom that matches on both sides.

I also added a pocket on the inside and a slightly larger pocket (to cover the sewing lines on the outside. I quilted the pockets for extra stability, they look really cute.

Thanks so much for going into more detail on the corners. I had trouble understanding their construction in the main pattern and appreciate the great tutorial! Also, thanks for all of your tips on making sewing easier. I’ve used other patterns and changed them so I could use your easier (and faster) construction methods.

I’m eager to make this tote bag – it’s a much better pattern than the one I did recently! Thank you!

I love this boxing technique -my triangles would always go wonky when I would try to do it that way, and with this method I then have some little squares already cut out that can quickly be whipped up into four patches! (after a teeny tiny bit of ripping) – I am well on my way to a “cutting the corners” scrap quilt!!!
