WHAT’S NEW IN THE 2.1?

Get Out of Town 2.1 is an update of our popular Get Out of Town, Get Out of Town 2.0, and Get Out of Town II patterns which were released in 2014, 2017, and 2021 respectively.

The new 2.1 version doesn’t change the design of the bag, but we’ve changed a number of dimensions and rearranged the steps to make the pattern easier to read and follow.

We also filmed an Add-on Video to help you with the more unique or challenging aspects of the pattern.

Since the Get Out of Town 2.1 pattern includes a coupon to get the Add-On Video at no charge, we would recommend that you purchase the new and improved version of the pattern. 

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.

We have a variety of different duffle bag patterns at ByAnnie.com and just because Get Out of Town 2.1 is the smallest doesn’t mean it packs any less of a punch! (See our Travel Bag Comparison Chart here.)

Here are a few ideas for ways you can use this functional travel bag:

• Sewing Retreat— pack fabrics, tools and supplies, an iron, and more!
• Weekender— there’s the perfect amount of space for packing clothes, toiletries, and anything else you might need on a weekend out of town.
• Baby— whether it’s an overnight bag for a parent at the hospital or a way to carry all of a little one’s needs, this duffle has you covered.

Let us know in the comments if you can think of other ways you might use this handy duffle!
