My new old suitcase

 

I found this old vinyl suitcase at a thriftshop for $4.

 It was in pretty good condition but I wanted it to be cuter.

 So, 3 hours and about $12 worth of supplies later, I have a beautiful new old suitcase!

 The outside is a printed vinyl (the kind some old chair seats used to be made with).

 The inside is regular quilting cotton. I sewed some useful pockets inside too.

Exactly what I wanted for weekending!
