- In this Skill Builder tutorial we will look at the common cause of boxed bottoms that do not sit flat and learn how to quickly adjust your pattern piece to give you a perfectly level bag base. We also cover techniques for lining up the side and bottom seams for beautifully aligned edges.
The Pythagorean Pouch pattern template is available for download as a pdf here: drive.google.com/file/d/1hr8_...
The finished pouch as is measures 7" wide, 2.5" deep at the base, and 4" tall but can be scaled up to make a larger pouch.
I am sewing on a domestic Juki HZL-DX7.
My exterior is cotton woven interfaced with light weight woven interfacing and stabilized with fusible fleece. My lining is quilting cotton interfaced with p44f.

Totally mind blown! I have made 1000+ bags and this is the the very best explanation of the "bottom problem" ever. Wish I could give you 10 thumbs up.
You can. Gotoher other vids and give them thumbs up too.
As an engineer who was very good at trigonometry in high school, I appreciate this immensely. this is absolutely brilliant explanation!!! I applaud you for explaining it so well! Thank you so very much!
So amazing
Math teacher here…this makes so much sense!! Thanks for showing the all the math images with it.
I have "felt" this problem every time I've sewn a box corner, but never could explain it. What a relief to know that I can simply cut that kite bump off.
O! M! G! Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! You gave a perfect explanation of the reason I’ve struggled with these simple bags! I learn best by watching AND understanding the WHY. You gave us the WHY!!! 10 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The why makes all the difference! 💕

@@mineyoutube746 I am using kona quilting cotton, interfaced with p44f.
I am a HS math teacher and teach Geometry. This may be my favorite EVER tip and explanation!
I love that!! Math was one of my favorite subjects as school.
I’m 72; math/geometry/algebra classes were my favorite decades ago. I think this is the first tutorial I’ve come across where the math component was illustrated and explained so perfectly. Math teachers rock @mathmom102350 😊
Yes....when students can see, actually see how it matters in real life experience.
I've never seen anyone do this but I figured it out myself years ago. It just makes sense. It's like when sewing pillows....you need to sew a curve down to the point instead of sewing a straight line. A straight line will give you long, empty pointed corners where a curved line hugs the pillow insert, filling out the corners. Little tricks like this give professional results!
Yes......I did as well......But had no idea why I was doing it, I seemed to just blame my poor cutting at the time....lolol
Where have you been all my sewing life?! Everything you show us is a game changer. Thank you so much!
Melting the zipper end, stapling in the seam allowance for accuracy and the box bottom. All new info for me and will be very helpful! Thank you!
Wow, that is hands down the best tutorial for a boxed pouch I’ve seen - thank you!
A sewer’s favorite words: Nice and flat.
Even something as simple as backstitching along the side is a detail I’ve never thought to do!
I'm only 10 minutes into this, and I've already learned so much! Thank you
I can't tell you how many times I am watching you and go "This lady is brilliant!". I love all the reasons why you do a particular trick and what happens if you don't!
Thank you Carol 😊
You have got to be the best teacher ever! I love all your sewing tips!
You are too kind, thank you. ☺️
I always wondered why my corners did not line up. Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Even my zipper looks better with your method.
Life changing.... I cannot wait to try your method now because I have struggled with the box corners and your video just makes perfect sense. You are the best. Thank you a million times over.
EXCELLENT!! I love the zipper hack, and having the lining cut a bit smaller makes for that perfect fit inside :)
This is hands down the best sewing tutorial I have seen on TH-cam. Great explanations, hacks I have never seen before, and Crystal clear video.
Also, no irrelevant content to the subject matter. Fantastic 👍🏻
Thanks so much Naomi! That is very high praise. 🥰 Glad to be able to help (without the fluff!) 😉
I kept thinking I was cutting things incorrectly when I had that issue. Thanks for the great explanation
You are aborn engineer and a great teacher. Thank you for doing all the math for us. Much appreciated!!
You're very welcome!
Well even at 80 years old I have learnt something new. Thank you a thousand times. It makes complete sense as to why I have had problems trying to get a flat bottom.
I’m so glad to help!
Where have you been all my pouch life? This address so many of my issues. Thank you. SUBSCRIBED
So glad you found the channel! 🥰
This was great. Being a newer sewer I always thought I was doing something wrong and it frustrated me to no end......Thank you!!!!!!!
I don't cut the corners. I prefer to leave the corners and fold the fabric to get the triangle shape and then measure and mark your line. Sew on the line then cut the triangle off leaving a 1/4" seam allowance. What's nice about sewing is that it's all personal preference. This is a great tutorial for those that like to cut the corners out.
Yes, that's how I do it too. Seems much easier. Having said that though, the explanation & tutorial is really excellent.
Love this! Love how you melted the zipper tape and squared the bottom. I have always wondered why the corners don’t line up straight and have a curve,..thank you!
Perfect! Also love the zipper tape trick of melting!
THANK YOU! I haven't been able to figure out the right angle and you've made it sooooooo simple! Great tutorial.
This is the best seller for me. I am saying you are the designer. Ty so much 💓
Thank *you* so much!

GREAT tutorial! Makes total sense for a beginner. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this explanation. It is so simple, and makes so much sense.
Beautiful boxed bottoms! This is great. I also loved the tips-using a stapler to keep those seams together, and start the stitch away from the lining gap and backstitch so you don’t see the threads! I hate when that happens. 😂
So glad to have some useful info for you!
Such a great demonstration! Many thanks for this valuable information.
I always thought it was my sewing. Great demonstration, thank you.👏🏻

Natalie, i used your better boxed bottom technique on a new pattern I recently purchased and made for my friend. It worked out so well!! So easy to match up the ends and it made the bag stand up perfectly!! Thank you so much for showing us this technique. I’ll convert all my boxed bottom bag patterns from now on.

Great techniques shown here. Even the use of a staple is such a simple but great idea. I particularly like the way you curve the ends of the zipper. I’m in the middle of making a quilted bag and can definitely use some of your ideas. Thanks.
