    I cant remember how I did this last time. I usually just cut a square from the bottom corner then meet the cuts and sew. Do I measure the square from the seam or the cut edge ??

    I confused myself because I didnt have a bottom seam I just folded my fabric in 1/2 if doing it that way you need to lay your sqaure along the bottm edge and along your side seam to acheive the same result...Just a reminder if your square is 1 1 /2 inches your boxed bottom will be 3 inches deep.

    Thank you for the reminder. That does get
    confusing sometimes.
