Skill Level:

Beginner

Basic Skills Necessary:

This pattern will walk you through all of the sewing steps. If you have never quilted before, you can start with pre-quilted fabric.

Pattern Description:

Everyone has a duffle, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle. Now you can sew up your own custom travel bag.

I use my duffle frequently for weekends away and find it perfect for 2 who travel light or 1 who likes a lot of choices (i.e. when I bring 3 pairs of shoes.)

It is also our family beach bag/carry-all.

You will love the capacity and sturdy construction of this bag.

Beginners and expert seamstresses all love this pattern for the unique travel bags they make with it.

Sizing / Finished Measurements:

20" long by 12" high and 12" deep

1.5 yards of feature fabric. 1.5 yards of lining fabric. 1.5 yards of batting.

2 Zippers. One 22-24" and one 14"
You really need a walking foot for your sewing machine.

great pattern and very good description step by step. the only difficulty for me was the measurements in inches instead of in cm which I'm used to but with my calculator nearby I overcame this problem easily ;-)

I had little trouble with the pattern and the end result is a great overnight bag! I would recommend this pattern.

I had a blast putting this together i will definitely make another one, was challenging after I quilted but overall I'm happy with how it came out. I think next time I will put pockets on either end as well just for a little bit more storage. The bag is just the right size for an overnight bag.

I found this bag easy to make except for the jute, next time I will make the lining alittle bigger for the jute. I will be making this duffel for all four of my daughters. This duffel holds enough clothes for a week vacation and then some. Love it.
