I have to say … I can’t believe I made luggage. Not that I have tested this bag’s durability through airport security, but it looks impressive. The pattern is by Amy Butler, and I can recommend it if you have patience and strong hands. There is a fair amount of wrangling involved in making this bag, but the instructions are very clear and are easy to follow–in theory. The fabric is Jennifer Jones’s Outside Oslo, which we both seem to love.

Congratulations! This looks beautiful and sturdy!
Thanks, Susan!
Holy valise! That is amazingly impressive. It looks so well sewn!
The beauty of the pattern is that all the seams are hidden–which is good because mine were not very pretty…
a tour de force!
