If you’re anything like me, chances are you love large bags because you want to bring your entire wardrobe with you while traveling. Because well…you just never know when you will need that oversized sweater or that colorful scarf. Sound familiar?

Well today I have a treat for you, because this duffle bag pattern is everything you need to make a large carry-all bag to store your belongings.

Handmade Duffle Bag With free sewing pattern

The large duffle bag consists of two zippered pockets on the front and back of the bag. Additionally, there are two side pockets so you can easily slide things in and out for easy access.

The bag has a dual zipper opening with wide access (it opens from side to side). I purposely designed it this way because I want my carry-all bags to have a large opening for ease-of-use.

On top of that, the bag comes with a shoulder strap so that you can wear it across your body. You can, of course, make it without the shoulder strap so the duffle is essentially a giant tote bag to carry around all your belongings.

Since this is a DIY project, you can make it however you want. This is the ABSOLUTE BEST part about sewing your own bags! You get to choose what features you want or don’t want.

How do You Make a Rectangular Duffle Bag?

Follow the step-by-step tutorial below and I will show you exactly how to make this stylish and useful bag. The duffel itself is not difficult to sew. However, it is not a quick sewing project as there are many parts to the bag, including 3 zippers. This sewing project is most suitable for those who have completed other simple sewing projects before.

What are the Dimensions of Large Duffle Bag?

Duffle Bag Pattern. Height and width

The front of the handmade duffle bag measures approximately 19.5″ (49.53cm) wide and 12″ (30.48cm) tall. The height of the handle strap is approximately 9″ (22.86cm).

Duffle Bag Pattern. Side dimensions

The side of the duffle bag measures approximately 8″ (20.32cm) at the bottom and 6.5″ (16.51cm) wide along the zipper.

How much Fabric Do I need to make a Duffle Bag

To make a large duffle bag, you will need 1 yard of exterior fabric and 1 yard of lining (0.9 meters each). You can also choose to make the bag using two types of exterior fabric. In that case, you will need 1/2 yard of each fabric. For a complete list of materials you will need for duffle bag, see MATERIALS below.

What Fabric is Used for Duffel Bags?

You can use any woven fabric you like. Fabrics in the following list are especially suitable for making duffel bags:

  • Canvas – Canvas is sturdy, durable and heavy duty. This makes is very suitable as duffle bags usually go through repetitive wear and tear.
  • Outdoor fabric – Similar to canvas, outdoor fabric is generally thick and heavy duty. They are also water resistant and some even waterproof, another bonus feature!
  • Thick Cotton Fabric – Other thick cottons such as denim and twill are also good choices.
  • Vinyl Fabric – Durable, stylish, and will look store-bought. However, recommend using a Heavy Duty Sewing Machine or industrial machine as the fabric pieces are thick and can be difficult to sew.
  • Regular Weight Cotton reinforced with batting or interfacing – if you see a lightweight cotton print that you just have to have, reinforce it with fusible fleece or interfacing! Additionally, use canvas fabric as the lining for extra support. This is the option that I used. See STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL for how to make a sturdy large-sized duffle bag.

DUFFLE BAG PATTERN

For the Large Duffle Bag Sewing Pattern, ALL pattern pieces are available in printable format except the [TOP ZIPPER PIECE] and [BOTTOM FUSIBLE PIECE] pattern. You will need to draw these patterns directly on the fabric. The dimensions of these two pattern pieces are listed below:

  • TOP ZIPPER PIECE: 31.5″ x 4.25″ (79.4 cm x 10.8 cm)
    • Cut 2 Pieces on Exterior Fabric
    • Cut 2 Pieces on Lining Fabric
  • BOTTOM FUSIBLE PIECE: 19.5″ x 8″ (49.5 cm x 20.3 cm)

Alternatively, you can also deduct 0.5″ (1.27mm) from entire border of [BOTTOM PIECE] pattern by folding the paper pattern in. This will give you the dimension of [BOTTOM FUSIBLE PIECE] if you prefer not to draw the pattern.

LEFT: First, use zipper foot to sew zipper to [TOP ZIPPER PIECE]
RIGHT: Second, when you get close to the end of the zipper, remove the fabric + zipper. No need to backstitch as you will stitch over where you stopped in the next step.

NOTE: Ideally, keep the needle in the zipper+fabric, lift the pressor foot, then open the zipper the other way (if using a double zip zipper) and finish stitching to the end of the zipper. However, in my case I wasn’t able to slide the zipper pull under my pressor foot because the pull was too thick (I’m using a parka zipper)

Flip the fabric counterclockwise 180°(red arrow) so the fabric is to your right. Switch zipper foot to the other side. Open the zipper.

Measure the difference on each side of the [ZIPPER PIECE] versus [SIDE PIECE]. As you can see in the photo, the excess on the left and right sides is not the same.

How to make a large duffel bag. Sewing zipper piece to side piece

First, sew at 1/2” (12.7mm) seam allowance (black dotted line). Next, as you stitch, make sure you pull back the free ends of the lining so you don’t sew on it. Next, point seam allowance down towards [SIDE PIECE].

Sewing Bag All Together

How to make a duffel bag. Sewing bottom piece to front and back pieces

Sew [DUFFLE BOTTOM PIECE] to [DUFFLE BACK PIECE], right sides together. Repeat for [DUFFLE FRONT PIECE].

How to make a duffel bag. Holding lining of zipper piece with clips

Next, use clips (or pins) to clip the Top Zipper Lining Pieces together so they don’t get in the way when you sew the exterior of the bag together.

How to make a duffel bag. Marking midpoints of Duffle Top/Side Piece

Fold [DUFFLE TOP/SIDE PIECE] in half and make small clips on both sides to mark the midline.

How to make a duffel bag. Marking midpoints of front and back piece

Repeat for [DUFFLE FRONT PIECE] and [DUFFLE BACK PIECE] to mark the midline.

On [DUFFLE FRONT PIECE], mark the midpoint of the rounded corner by folding in half and making a small clip. Repeat on the other rounded corner. Do this on [DUFFLE BACK PIECE] as well.

How to make a duffel bag. Measuring pattern pieces

LEFT: First, measure the distance between the bottom of [DUFFLE FRONT PIECE] to midpoint of rounded corner you just marked. My bag measured about 12.75 in (323.85mm). Next, add 1/2”(12.7mm) seam allowance to that measurement (so mine is now 13.25” or 336.55mm).
RIGHT: Use chalk to mark the new measurement (that includes seam allowance) sides of [DUFFLE TOP/SIDE PIECE], as pictured. Repeat on other end.

Duffle bag pattern. Pinning and sewing bag exterior together.

Pin/clip [DUFFLE FRONT PIECE] and [DUFFLE BACK PIECE] to [DUFFLE TOP/SIDE PIECE], right sides together. Make sure to match at all the markings you just made (midline, rounded corner).

I find it easier to use pins to stabilize rounded corners to [DUFFLE TOP/SIDE PIECE] and use clips for the rest.

On the bottom corners (blue arrows), I find it easier to sew if I first make a diagonal cut that is just shy of the 0.5” box.

DIY Handmade duffel bag. Tip for sewing curve to rectangle

Another tip is I find it much easier to pin (and sew) if you first make a few notches around the rounded curve (LEFT PHOTO) as well as around your marking on [DUFFLE TOP/SIDE PIECE], red lines on RIGHT PHOTO. Just make sure the notches don’t extend past the 0.5” sew line.

Next, leave an opening about 7-8”at the bottom of the bag on either the FRONT or BACK PIECE LINING (doesn’t matter which one). We will use this opening to turn the bag to the right side in the next step.
