Fabric Options

Choosing the best fabric to sew a duffle bag depends on your specific needs and preferences. However, a popular choice is canvas fabric. Canvas is known for its durability and strength, making it ideal for bags that will be used frequently and carry heavy items. It is also resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for long-lasting use. Another advantage of canvas is that it can be easily customized with different colors or patterns, allowing you to create a unique and stylish duffle bag. Additionally, canvas fabric is relatively easy to work with, making it a good option for both beginners and experienced sewers.

You might also try duck cloth, leather, etc. You could even use quilting cotton fabric with fusible fleece or thermoloam for extra weight. You'll also need some quilting cotton to use as the lining fabric.

Customer Reviews

"Wanderlust duffle pattern is great. I made several duffle bags this Christmas, and used a different pattern for each so my grandchildren wouldn't be confused by the similarity of most of the fabric. Wanderlust pattern was by far the best! Wonderful directions and all measurements and directions were precise and correct. Far and away better than any others I used. There was one that was also good but did not have a lining, so it was simpler." - Laurie

"What a great little pattern this is! Yup, successfully finished with a bag, so the pattern definitely works. Really enjoyed the versatility I was able to achieve and can't wait to make some more. I used a combination of leatherette and cotton woven, and am very happy with the results." - Jenny

"The pattern was easy to use. The directions were clear and the bag went together easily. I plan to make a number of these." - Ronna
