This is a practical bag in two sizes, with lots of options. Created initially as an overnight bag, it also makes a great day bag when sewn in the smaller size.
With a zipped top, grab handles, optional detachable shoulder strap and multiple pockets, it’s a great pattern for intermediate and experienced sewists with some bag making experience, who want to design their own unique creation.
Suitable for Intermediate and experienced bag makers
When you buy this PDF sewing pattern you will receive a link to download the following files:
A0 Large Duffle - 2 pages
A0 Small Duffle - 1 page
A0 Large and Small Duffle - 1 page - you need to print this whichever size you make as it contains pattern pieces for both sizes
A4 Large Duffle - 50 pages
A4 Small Duffle - 25 pages
A4 Large & Small Duffle - 25 pages
Pattern Instructions - 22 pages (11 if printed double sided)
I would recommend sending your A0 files to a print shop rather than trying to tile together the A4 files, due to the high number of pages.
If printing at a print shop, the complete pattern (large and small) is 4 x A0 pages
Pattern printing here is £1.50 per A0 sheet
This is a pdf pattern download for the Trinket Box pictured. You will need to buy the frames separately.
The pattern includes both large and small sizes and the frames you need are listed clearly on the front of the pattern with details of where to source them - correct at time of writing (September 2026) You may want to source the frames before buying the pattern - see the image of the front page of the pattern for these details.
This is a speedy project and creates unique storage for you or a gift for a friend. It’s the perfect stash buster and a lot of fun to make.
You will receive full written instructions with photos, an A0 pattern file for printing at a print shop and an A4 version for printing and sticking together at home.
(Please note, if printing the A4 pattern, ignore the part that says there are 28 pages, there are only 18 and you will receive them all! I have deleted the last 10 pages of the file to save your paper because they are blank!)
