How to make a resizable rectangle in QML?
MouseArea {

widthRect = releaseX - pressX
rectHeight = releaseY
heightRect = releaseY - pressY

releaseX = mouse.x
releaseY = mouse.y
widthRect = releaseX - pressX
heightRect = releaseY - pressY

There are probably several ways to achieve the desired result. Since I've considered the implementation of a similar Component for a cropping tool software of mine, I'm going to share a toy example which uses part of that code.
Differently from the rubber band in the example, my Rectangle is resizable only on a single axis at a time. I'm confident that you can build on that and customise the code to meet your needs.
The basic idea of the code is to exploit the drag property of MouseArea. It can be used to move around the Rectangle and, combined with MouseX and MouseY properties, resize it.
Dragging is active inside the Rectangle whereas resizing is active on the knobs set on the sides of the Rectangle (no mouse cursor change is set for the sake of brevity).
