These luggage handle covers will make your suitcase pop on the airport conveyor belt, making it easy to find and retrieve from a sea of black suitcases!
This is the video that I shot while in the CZcamsSpace LA (#YTSLA)!
Years ago I found this tutorial at littlebirdiesec...
and I have made many of these for everyone I know. You can use your stash of scraps, since you don't need a lot of fabric to make these!
These are the supplies that you will require to make one wrap:
2 pieces of 6" x 6 ½" fabric
1 piece thin batting 6" x 6 ½" (I love to use Warm & Natural batting)
5 " of sew-on Velcro
Sewing machine and thread
Scissors
I also used a rotary cutter and self healing cutting mat
Lay a piece of fabric right side up and the other piece of fabric on top of it right side down.
Place the piece of batting on top of both pieces of fabric.
Using a ¼ inch seam, sew all around the three pieces. Leave a 2 inch opening for turning.
Trim your corners.
Pull the fabric through the 2 inch opening. You may need to use a dowel or dull pencil to push out your corners. Tuck your 2 inch opening in and press with an iron.
Sew your opening shut. You can just sew the two inches or you can sew down that whole side. Whatever suits your fancy.
On one of the sides that is now 5 ½ inches long, sew down one piece of the Velcro. Once this is done, turn your square over and sew the other piece of Velcro down on the opposite side.
Attach it to the handle of your suitcase. Now you're ready to travel in style.

Tammy and I have been friends for many years and met here on CZcams! Since then we have met up in real life many times. You will LOVE her tutorials and learn how to decorate cupcakes better than most bakeries do. She lives in Canada, but I really wish she lived next door.
Lastly, smile! I like it when you smile :)
