They’re comfortable, mostly due to the fiber content (hello, 1% spandex), which is the only kind of denim I will wear. However, in my experience, these jeans fit snug in all the right places and provide a little room in the rest. Obviously, fit is subjective, so they may not work for every body and every fit preference. First, the fit is unmatched in many other brands that I’ve tried for my body. There are three reasons that I love these jeans. I’ve been a long-time Madewell denim wearer, but within the last year or so, we went exclusive (save for 2 pair of AG jeans in my closet). It’s like speed dating, except it can take years to find that one brand that fits you perfectly nearly every single time. It takes some work – you have to try a few brands, give them a fair shot, realize they aren’t right, move on to the next, etc. Finding your denim brand is a lot like finding your soulmate, or at the very least, your very good friend. I feel the most like myself in a great pair of jeans, especially paired with a pretty cami and chunky knit cardigan. Aside from leggings, it’s the only thing I wear. I know there are a number ways to attach a lining to a duffle, so I might play around with some other variations next time.Let’s talk denim. The rest is hand-stitched, which I found finicky and time-consuming.
According to the instructions, only one side of the lining base is to be sewn by machine. The only think I didn’t like was the way the base was sewn in. The pattern was, overall, very easy to follow. I am happy with the end result of both of these choices. I like webbing for its durability, and I didn’t want the inside of the pocket to just be interfacing. My two other variations were using webbing for the straps, rather than sewing them out of fabric, and lining the inside zippered pocket.

I also added the pocket on the end, because, why not? There was already too much bulk in the seams for a pocket that went straight across, but as a patch pocket, it worked perfectly. My bag is slightly wider and taller than the pattern, as my friend had a particular size in mind. However, all of that time pays off, as the end product is a very strong, stable, durable feeling bag. I could have used fusible fleece, but I like the look and feel of quilted fabric. This was only the second duffle bag I have ever sewn, and I had forgotten how much prep work there is! Each of the outside pieces is lined with interfacing. The bag is a slightly modified Road Tripper Duffle Bag by Betz White. The base of the bag and all the front pocket linings are canvas. I lined the bag with Smarty Cats: Cats at Play by Windham fabrics with more of the grey and yellow for pockets. I like the way the yellow adds a pop of colour!
The grey is from the Print Shop collection by Cotton + Steel and the yellow is an out-of-print remnant I had on hand.
This beautiful organic cotton was a joy to work with. They are both from the Farm Fresh collection by Birch Fabrics. I absolutely love the dogs on teal combined with the rainbow cats on cream. This means I was able to buy some beautiful animal-themed cotton fabrics at an affordable price! I don’t often get to work with high quality designer fabrics and it was wonderful to have both the opportunity and a dedicated project for them! The Fabricįor the outside of the bag, I chose two coordinating fabrics from the same collection. A friend of mine, who owns a pet-sitting business, asked for a cat and dog themed duffle bag at the same time my favourite online fabric shop was going out of business.
