This pattern addresses my most frequently asked questions on my duffle patterns:
1. Do you have a video for that part? Yes, every single part of this bag is shown on video. You get exclusive access to the bag making video with purchase of this pattern.
2. Do I have to quilt it? No. This bag is fabulous with no quilting.
3. Does it have a separate lining? Yes, this bag has a separate lining and pockets on the inside.
4. Can you do a simpler outside pocket? Yes, I did. These outside pockets are super simple to make and they look great.
5. I wish I had something to make for the men on my Christmas list. Now you do!
6. Does it come in different sizes? Yes. This pattern includes a mini duffle 13" by 8" by 6" and a travel duffle 20" by 11" by 9"
This is a very fast bag to make. For those of you who make bags and sell them, this will be your new go-to travel bag. Adding that little bit of leather trim makes this a very special bag. Watch me sew it with my domestic sewing machine in the video lesson.
If you want written instructions only for this bag and no sew-along video, please get Simplicity 8710. That is also my pattern, but in the traditional Simplicity pattern format.
As soon as you purchase the pattern, it is available for you to download here on Etsy under your purchases. Open the file in Adobe reader. Make sure print settings show print 100% and the "shrink over-sized pages" button is NOT checked. This will ensure that the pattern pieces print at the correct size.
The link to the video lessons is in the PDF pattern. Just copy and paste the link to a browser tab.
I think you will love the video sew-along format.
