Stitcher's Suitcase Sewing Pattern by Annie Unrein from ByAnnie

A wide, three-sided zippered opening folds back to reveal a padded nest sized for a Singer Featherweight, with pockets positioned for cords, the foot pedal, bobbins, tools, and even a vintage manual. Stitcher's Suitcase by Annie Unrein for ByAnnie is a structured machine carrier and travel bag pattern that protects a treasured Featherweight at home, in class, or on the road. Key Features: Sized for Featherweights: Designed to fit Singer 221 and 222 Featherweight machines, with room for other small machines such as the Singer 301 and Janome Jem. Padded, stable structure: ByAnnie's Soft and Stable gives the bag firm walls and cushioned protection, while a clear acrylic base stabilizer slides into a fabric sleeve for a solid foundation. Easy access and storage: The wide zippered opening reaches the machine and supplies at once, and multiple interior and exterior pockets keep cords, the foot pedal, bobbins, tools, and manuals organized. Comfortable carrying: Adjustable handles with a cushioned wrap carry the bag by hand or over the shoulder, and a trolley sleeve slides over rolling luggage for easy travel. Coordinates with Feathered Friends: Built to pair with the Feathered Friends accessory pattern, whose zippered bags, vinyl pad insert, and bed sleeve nest inside for a complete, organized system.
