Modifications I made to the Drawstring Project bags.

I was trying to match the size to a bag I already had so here are my changes.

I made the following modifications to get a final bag size of 9 3/4" by 10 1/2":

*Main fabric 24" long and 10.5" wide.
(For the cat bags, I had to cut 2 pieces 12" long because my fabric was wider than it was long. So I added an extra "Step" to seam the two 12" pieces together at the bottom.)

*Lining 10.5" square.

*Only 1 drawstring casing hole instead of two.

*Measured casing hole 1.5" from the seam where the lining piece meets the main piece instead of from the fold because my pieces were different sizes from hers. (This is step #4 in the tutorial.)
