I am so enamored with the little suitcase die from Sizzix! I decided to do one in cloth. To siffen it up, I used fusible web to adhere cotton fabric to both sides of stiff felt - the kind you can get at any craft store in 12 x 18" sheets. I was going to use Timtex, but it was too thick and didn't fold very well. The felt has some issues too, but it is better. Next one I do I am going to adhere the fabric to chipboard. I made the suitcase into a mobil sewing kit. I put a scissors holder on the top, a pincushion on the bottom and left enough room for bobbin size spools. I used other Sizzix dies to cut out the flowers and lots of pearl buttons for fasteners and decoration. I used distess dies on the edges of everything including the ribbon. I added Dimensional Pearls to all the edges to keep them from fraying. The stamp is from My Mind's Eye and the tag is a cut down version of the book plate from the Alterations large tag die.
