A while back I found the most perfect project to make. It was a doll house in a suitcase :)
hart and sew. It's amazing and I love the idea. It was my inspiration to make my own flat doll house :) I'll share that in another post. A couple of weeks ago I was googling doll houses in suitcases and I found this
quilted suitcase tutorial. I liked it a lot for Lilah's doll stuff :) It's a good tutorial with pictures. Her little suitcase is lovely. I made quite a few mistakes with mine. I think it is mainly due to the fact I didn't have a pattern. I work better with a pattern. In the end I had to take out the zipper and added some flaps with velcro instead. There is a suitcase pattern I want to purchase though. It's this one
the sidekick mini suitcase. I want to try and make another one with this pattern to see how it goes.
To make Lilah's case I used cotton printed fabric, felt, velcro, bias tape and a very sturdy interfacing I do not know the name of, sorry. I followed the instructions as best I could from
quilted suitcase tutorial but added flaps to the sides and the front to put velcro instead of a zipper. The end result was ok I think, seeing as it was my first ever time making a mini suitcase.
Here it is!
Lilah liked it and was calling it her bag :) I'm having a lot of fun creating stuff for this little princess.
