Tutorial Tuesday: Custom Stylish Luggage

Tue, Jun 22, 2010

Sewing

By now you can probably tell that I love to add my own style to things (like the custom passport cover) so I decided that my plain black luggage was also fair game!  Well, the almost plain luggage.  I got it free, but wanted something a little more “me” for the trip.

For this project I used some scrap fabric I had, ironed some heat and bond to the back of it, cut it out, and ironed it onto my luggage!  Now I’ll know which one is mine!  Best part?  It’s easy!

Hand draw your image onto the paper side of the heat and bond, iron it to your fabric, cut it out, and iron away!  Really it was that easy!

And with that I’ll be taking a little vacation!  I’ll see you back for some more great tutorials when I get back!  I’m also hoping to do a little craft supply shopping in Europe.  Watch when I get back from some giveaways!  Wink, Wink!

Ciao!

    Such a great idea! I’m always trying to “dress up” my luggage so that I can tell right away which one it is when it rolls off the conveyer thing!
