Functional yet stylish, this sturdy duffle bag carries everything you need for a weekend trip — and easily fits in the overhead bin or under the forward seat.
The full-zippered top allows easy access to all your gear. A comfortable padded adjustable carrying strap and quick-grab side handles make it convenient for all sorts of travel.
With one zippered and four slip pockets on the outside and up to six more slip pockets inside, the bag will keep everything organized and close at hand.
The Get Out of Town Duffle measures 16"L x 10"H x 7"D. If you'd prefer a larger bag, be sure to check out our Travel Duffle Bag pattern.
Special thanks to Free Spirit for the fabrics used for the cover model. Ask for Florabelle by Joel Dewberry at your local quilt shop.
This pattern replaces the original Get Out of Town pattern (PBA227).
Here's what's new:
- The new version includes updated graphics and illustrations as well as an easier-to-follow layout and improved instructions. You'll love the new illustrations of the various steps as well as complete labels for all the pieces.
- We've added an optional mesh slip pocket on the inside of the bag. This is a perfect spot to stash cords or paperwork. We love using mesh as it adds no bulk in the seams, it has a slight stretch, and it enables us to easily see what is in the pocket.
NOTE: The instructions in this pattern include rounding some corners and recommend using a circular object of a specific size. Click HERE for a PDF file with templates for circles in the recommended sizes for this pattern and more.
