I am in love with this pattern! It is so easy to make. It is a free pattern from Robert Kaufman (http://noodle-head.com/2013/10/cargo...t-kaufman.html).

I made a few changes to the pattern. I cut the bottom gusset 9" wide and the zipper gussets 4.5" wide. I put in a zipper pocket instead of the patch pockets. And I used the info found here, http://www.ohfransson.com/all-projec...-go-bag-panels , to make my side panels. I used cotton drill found at Joann's for my base. I also added a lining with pockets and an adjustable shoulder strap.

Definitely will be making more of these! I can envision them in school colors, solids, camo, all kinds of ideas running through my head. Wonder what my kids and grandkids will be getting for Christmas!

I love your bag. Looks like it might be a good carrying case for a little f/w maybe? Thanks for sharing. I need a project to do, but this might be a little more than I can handle right now.

This is absolutely be beautiful. Please show more pics of the sides, bottom and inside if you can. It sounds like you made a lot of changes and I'm sure it was well worth it because it is stunning.

I really really like the changes you made to make it more secure and functional. This little duffle is going to be such a hit as christmas gifts. I hope you show us the fabrics you make them in as you go.
