Some fabrics are wider than others--mine was the standard 45" width. I do know that with half of a yard all the pieces just fit for the most part--there were very few scraps left. The other thing you may want to consider is whether your fabric shrunk significantly if you prewashed it...depending on the fiber content, it could have shrunk.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016797249117225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-18323775025304995952011-12-03T07:23:18.393-08:002011-12-03T07:23:18.393-08:00wondering if i'm a complete idiot?!?!

I think it also just adds a little something. Of course, you could add a strap to close it, if you would prefer. I would love to see your bag once you get around to making one...I am hoping to get around to making a big-person version yet this fall...Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016797249117225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-44424112047222458052011-10-20T03:33:39.134-07:002011-10-20T03:33:39.134-07:00Hi, thanks so much for the tutorial.
