Fun with Suitcases, or Dog Beds...whichever

I did convert one of the old suitcases I found into a dog bed and am pretty happy with how it came out...I believe I have avoided a Pintrest fail at his time.

I remembered I had an old tablecloth in my stash that has great colors to go with the blue of the suitcase - and had a giant stain on the back so it could no longer be used as a tablecloth anyway. 

I do love the colors together.

 

I sewed a little banner to wish the occupant "Sweet Dreams"

And this is the next one to work on. Still needs some legs attached and a security strap so the lid does not fall on an unsuspecting dog and cause doggie trauma and trust issues.

 Found the fabric hidden in a grab-bag I had bought at Goodwill and was pretty thrilled with how it went with the color of the suitcase. And a cowboy theme is always fun.

Now, that I have had some re-purposing fun, I have to get back to writing. A beautiful snowy day here, so once I am finished some appraisal work, I will get back to the murder at hand!
