bag series: patchwork duffle

Introducing the Patchwork Duffle bag by Knot & Thread. Join Alissa in the studio for a 3-part class to turn fabric squares into a beautiful, patchwork bag. Or if you want a quicker make, you can use just one exterior fabric.

You really can carry it all with this giant duffle bag! This Duffle features a patchwork exterior (or make it with your favorite fabric in a one fabric version), two exterior pockets and a large spacious opening. It's the perfect bag for all your travel needs! The finished dimensions of the bag are 12"H x 20-1/2"W x 9"D. 

During this 3-part class, students will start off with a cutting session on Friday, February 27th to prepare the fabric pieces needed, leaving Saturdays, February 28th + March 7th for bag construction and completion. Students will practice their patchwork, piecing and binding skills, as well as work with bag hardware and inserting a zipper. This class is suitable for intermediate level students with prior bag making experience.
