How do PDF/ digital patterns work? Simply download, print, and sew. You’ll need a free Adobe Acrobat reader program and any home printer (or a nearby copy shop for A0 printing). Once you’ve printed the pieces, tape or glue them together. You’ll find an easy-to-follow how-to guide inside the pattern instructions, plus support in our Facebook group.
The trim-free pattern comes in A4 or US letter printable sizes and includes full pattern pieces and a detailed tutorial to guide you every step of the way. An A0 format (pattern pieces only) is also included should you wish to have your pattern printed professionally. PDF Layers allow you to select and print only the size/s you want/ need.

I do love the finished bag. I made the small and I’ve found it is a lovely size for a beach or picnic bag. I used Peltex stabiliser for the body and foam for the handles. This combination gave great structure, but it probably added to the difficulty I had with the binding. The instructions were easy to follow. I would recommend this pattern to someone who has had some sewing or bag making experience.

There are some tricky bits along the way with this pattern but the end result is worth the extra effort. As with all RP patterns, there are step by step instructions with photos to help you with the whole thing, including the tricky bits.

This is a fantastic bag. Would be great for holidays, picnics, tablet or laptop. Step by step makes it beginner friendly.

This turned out super cute.

An extra small suitcase surprisingly large enough to hold a big book, my Kindle Reader and various accessories! The added insert is definitely the attraction that puts this bag over the top for me. I sewed a large vinyl pouch and 3 smaller pouches. My husband suggested that I need to sew more Vintage Suitcases.😂 He definitely wants one!

Like the vintage suitcase but if i was not an experience seamstress i would have trouble. It is simple the make but with the thickness and curves some may find it a bit hard to control the movement of fabric. Overall I love my suitcase

A fun pattern that can be simple, or elaborate, depending on your needs! The pattern for the case itself is simple, though the many layers can make it tricky to execute (hence my intermediate rating). The gathered pocket is an easy addition, and the removable insert is great for a more adventurous bag!
