Sizes for the folders, cardstock and the pockets. 

If you are using file folders then you will need two of them. Mine are the standard size 11 3/4"x9 1/4". 

I opened one and cut one side off it as shown in the video. The other one I just cut a little more off the top part. Again shown in the video. 

Mats are cut at 11 5/8"x4" cut 2
11 5/8"x3" cut 1
11 5/8"x3 1/2" cut 1

Pockets on back are cut at 11 3/4"x8 3/4" then cut a piece that is 9 1/2"x11 3/4" and fold at 2 1/2", this folds up to make your third pocket. 

Mats for the back pockets are as follows:

11 5/8"x2 1/2"
11 5/8"X3 1/2"
11 5/8"X3 1/2"
11 5/8"X2 7/8"

This should get all the measurements if you are using cardstock or the file folders. If you use cardstock just make sure you make the cusset for the sides so it will expand a little.

Hanging File Folder double folio

You will need two file folders that are 8x11 3/4. If you don't have any or don't have this size then just use what you have you can still make this just follow the instructions and adapt to your product. File folders will work on this too. 

On the first folder you will score at 7 14/" and 8". This will be the left one. 
On the second folder you will score at 7 3/4" and 8 1/2". This will be the right one. Make sure to keep them right and left position. 

If you are going to make the slits in your folio like I did and then glued together, make a mark in 1 1/2" from right score line and 1 1/2" in from left edge of folder. Mark down every 2 1/2" this will be where you make the openings for the pockets. If you are not going to make these slits like I "closed up" lol, then the pockets like I made a listed below. 

Pockets:

Cut 1 at 6"x6 1/2" score on all 4 sides at 1/2". Fold the top 1/2" piece down and glue, this just reinforces your edge for when you slide things back and for inside the pocket. You will do this on all the pockets. 
Cut 1 at 5"x 6 1/2" score on all 4 sides at 1/2" and follow the directions as before on first pocket.
Cut 2 at 4"x6 1/2" score on all 4 sides at 1/2" and follow the directions as before on first pocket.
Cut 1 pocket at 3"x6 1/2" score on all 4 sides at 1/2" and follow the firections as on the first pocket.

My spine pieces are cut at 3/4"x11 3/4", if using something different then adjust yours accordingly.

Booklets:

Topfold is cut at 4"x7 1/2", I just decorated and then put some coffee dyed papers inside. 
Side fold is cut at 5"x7 3/4", I just decorated and then put some dyed pages inside. 

The side pocket on the right flap is cut at 2 1/2"x11 3/4". 

Belly band is cut at 7"x1 1/2".
