The Sidekick  Suitcase Pattern is now available for download! This fully lined suitcase is made of sturdy canvas and designed with rigid sides that maintain shape in use. Finished, it measures 16 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and 5 inches deep. Just the right size for a pint-sized superhero trip to grandma’s, or for Wonderwoman’s night away.

See the original project post for more pictures of “the Sidekick” in action.

    Great pattern I made it out of used jeans. Next time I would include a shoulder strap because sometimes mums have to carry it amongst other things.

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
