This looks so much easier than I thought it would be. I'm going to have to make some of these when I need a break from my bigger quilting projects.

What are the final dimensions of the bag?

[@MarcelasPurse]

I no longer have this pouch to confirm, but considering the size of the fabric and the way it will fold when sewing pieces together, I think it will end up being about under 8" wide x under 4" high. The fabric is 12" wide, the front will lose 4" in total due to the 2 squres at the bottom, which will form the sides of the pouch. That will make the front 12". Due to the squares , the hight will also lose 2", so the hight will be 4".
The seam allowance is 1/4".
I hope this make sence, you can use paper to make a pattern and do the folds according to the squares to confirm this.
