Retro Suitcase Makeover

Retro Suitcase Makeover

    I've been wanting to try a suitcase makeover for some time.  For this project, I chose a green vintage suitcase, I used a rectangle  cut from 1/4" plywood to support the bottom, I painted it, and the four wood legs green, I attached the legs and plywood to the bottom of the suitcase, with wood bolts and nuts, I then relined, and lightly padded the inside bottom of the suitcase.  I painted the top with white paint, I used Mod Podge to apply a vintage sewing machine graphic, from  Fairy Graphics, then I applied a clearcoat paint to protect the top. 

Lots of Room for Sewing Notions

  

   I was pleased with how it turned out.  This retro suitcase makeover made a useful sewing box, with enough room to hold a large amount of sewing notions.
