"This is Vicki Walker on behalf of Expert Village. We have determined the width and the length of the bag dimensions that we would be making for our baby doll sleeping bags. So we are ready to cut. What I plan to do is to cut this with a fold. We can use the fold of the fabric here so I would fold it over and measure 14 inches across this way. 21 this way. Let's see 14 and then 21.
