Well, I've got one little tiny suitcase packed and ready to go!
I got this gorgeous little suitcase as part of a set of three of differing sizes. I thought the smallest one would be great for storing my English paper piecing things in. However the inside looked a bit bland. So I decided to make it a bit more inviting.
First I drew around the outline of the case and made a paper template. I cut two pieces of white card to fit the inside of the lid and the bottom of the case. I covered these with batting and then put some pretty pink gingham around them. On the lid lining I added a useful little pocket.
So now I have all my paper piecing things in one little case which I can just pull out when I want it. I also made a little pincushion especially for this box.
I can now just lift this little case and carry it with me whenever I want to do some sewing without having to hunt around for all the things I need. Love it!
Love, Liz

love that. I am starting to do some hexagons as well and might think about doing something similar.
How cute, and very clever too! I've got a sewing basket for my essentials so that I've got everything to hand if I need to do a quick sewing job! xxx
Liz, how pretty your three little suitcases look neatly stored away on the shelf. LOVE the lining you made from the pretty gingham; so sweet. Now you have all your EPP pieces in one easy place to take with you wherever you wish. Such a clever idea.
How lovely, Liz. I love little boxes and suitcases like this. Such a sweet way to store pieces. Thank you so much for sharing how to line and add a pocket. I will have to try that in one of mine. Happy stitching.
