craftgrrl | Luggage and changing its ugly fabric.

Hello everyone! Theres a new kid to the community and just thought I'd share a hello.

Today, I feel all crafty. I made a plaid skirt a few days ago, its fun. I will try to post pictures soon. I also made cutesy hair pins, easy to do too. I just got some bobby pins and super glue, dressed up the pins with safety pins, everyone thinks its cute ^^. Days like this make me wish I had a digital camera :(

Any ways, I have a few questions.

Ok. This summer, I plan to do some traveling, I'm talking about a LOT of it. I need a unique looking suitcase, so I can recognize it easily and such. Well I spent the past few weeks searching for some kind of luggage that isn't the basic ugly carpet looking box thing. Is there a way I can change the fabric without ripping the thing apart? Or even better, is there a way I can re-upholster it, or place fabric over it?

If you can help, thanks a billion. Just I need something that isn't too costly, is durable and easy to do.
Time isn't an issue on this too, I got pleeenty of time.

If you can help me out, it would be so awesome. By the way, this community is the greatest! I think I have already fallen in love with the Memory page. ^^
