Add Height to a Pattern - increasing a single dimension using slash & spread

In this Skill Builder tutorial I will demonstrate adding height to the Logi pouch pattern while keeping the other dimensions the same. This slash and spread technique can be applied to any pattern you wish to add height or width to, noting that the same adjustments would need to be made to applicable lining, interfacing, stabilizer pieces, etc. If you are looking to increase the overall size of your pattern, please see this tutorial: • Scaling Up With Poster...
For further explanation of squaring up the side angle of your pouch please refer to: • Better Boxed Bottoms, ...

@@OKSew474 I just thought of another similar question. Making a Boxy bag (toiletry bag) for a TALL man - who has TALL bottles of his cologne or other manly things. Would the same principle of “Slash and Spread” apply to that pattern too. The PDF patterns I’ve seen may be long but not tall or vice a versa. Thank you for taking the time to answer so promptly.

For a boxy it’s a bit different because of the way it is sewn together. Do you have an idea of what the finished dimensions would need to be? I do have a boxy tutorial where you can adapt the measurements to make the size you need, but if you let me know the dimensions you want I can help you figure it out.
