This duffle bag is designed for quick trips and weekends away. The size used in the pattern is specifically designed to fit the requirements for “personal” cabin luggage for Ryanair airline (correct at time of publishing). It’s also just a great standard size for a weekend bag. (“Duffle” is the British spelling for “duffel”).
This pattern is suitable for brave beginners, but I wouldn’t suggest it for your first ever try at bag making.
The pattern includes a "customise the size" page which details how to customise the bag size to your exact requirements. A blank cutting chart is also provided for you to fill out with the results of your calculations. All the calculations are provided, but you will need to do the maths. This option is only suitable for those who are comfortable working with maths and following detailed instructions. If not, we recommend sticking to the standard pattern size.

Exterior zip pocket
This duffle bag can be made using a wide variety of materials such as cotton, canvas, cork, vinyl or leather. Whatever fabric you choose, be sure that your sewing machine can handle a lot of layers. The handles are sewn through all the layers so for domestic sewing machines, I recommend using cotton fabrics for both the exterior and lining fabrics.
15 1/4″ wide x 9 1/4″ tall x 7 1/4″ deep (39cm x 24cm x 19cm), but the pattern includes a "customise the size" page which details how to customise the bag size to your exact requirements!
