An indispensable attribute of any traveler for many years remains a suitcase , serving faithfully and truthfully, storing huge amounts of clothing. Unfortunately, like all things, so this kind of luggage life time is not eternal. But a new good and high-quality suitcase costs a lot of money. But there is a way to prolong the life of your "fellow traveler" - a protective case on a suitcase. It is about him that we will tell.
How to choose a case for a suitcase?
On the way, the suitcase awaits a lot of trouble, especially at airports. It is dirt and all kinds of blows, from which there are often scratches and dents. In this case, you can use a special case. By the way, it performs not only a protective function. The cover can also become a very stylish accessory, as many models are made in bright and fashionable colors. And getting baggage at the airport, it will be easier for you to find your luggage among the set of identical suitcases covered with disposable plastic film.
When choosing a case for your own suitcase, first of all pay attention to the full match of the size of the case. Otherwise, even the most refined accessory will look inappropriate. To avoid a waste of money, you can buy a case for a suitcase versatile. It is made of elastic fabric, and therefore suitable for almost any luggage.
Hence follows another criterion for choosing a case - cloth. Many models are made from a mixture of polyester and spandex, which makes the case waterproof and elastic. In addition, such products are not susceptible to molting. Some cases are made of neoprene, a porous soft and impermeable material. The only negative - they are monochrome. True, recent developments have allowed to create bright positive colors, but such models are more expensive. If colorful colors do not suit you, you can choose a transparent case for a suitcase, made of PVC film and elastic supplex on the sides. True, such material is not distinguished by its outstanding strength.
How to sew a case on a suitcase?
The only drawback of stylish accessories to luggage is their cost. But there is a way out - it's to sew a case for a suitcase with your own hands. There are several options. So, for example, the simplest is to make a cover from a male T-shirt or batch file. To do this, the wardrobe should be worn on the suitcase from the top.
Then it is necessary to sew up the sleeves or tuck them in.

By the way, in the future they can be used as a pocket. From the bottom of the T-shirt you need to sew a kuliska, where then an elastic band or rope is inserted.
That's how simple it is!
With a more complex version, you will need skills to work on the sewing machine. First, get a material that has qualities such as water resistance and strength.
- First you need to make a case for a suitcase. To do this, you should first determine how you will put on the accessory - on top or bottom. We suggest you to put on from the top down, fastening the cover on the zipper. To do this, consider four valves in the pattern: two of them are placed at the top and bottom, and the other two are side, serving as fasteners.
In addition, when constructing a pattern, it is necessary to take into account the "windows" of the wheels. And handles - the top and side - it is better to place in the "pocket", where devices can easily be removed with the help of "lightning".
- After removing all the measurements from the suitcase on paper, you need to make a pattern. After this, proceed to cutting the fabric according to the pattern, taking into account 1-1.5 cm on the allowances for seams.
- Many recommend starting with a "pilot" option, as it is not always possible to sew a suitcase case without errors from the first time.
- Well, after that you can do the tailoring of the cover, which you will use for the intended purpose. For additional protection, it is advisable to provide a lining, for example, from synthepone. The joints of the edges and fasteners must be treated with strong threads. Pockets of the product are recommended to be processed into a frame as slotted with a tractor type of lightning.
