  Step 1

  For this project, you'll need some silver or grey fabric. I was lucky enough to find some quilted leather which looked perfect.

  Print out the template onto paper and cut out.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold the fabric in half and pin the template onto the fabric.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut around the template, leaving a 1/2" seam allowance.

• 

  Step 4

  Before removing the pins, carefully snip around the seam allowance cutting 1/2" snips all the way around.

• 

  Step 5

  Unpin the template from the trailer fabric and then use the template to cut a rectangle for the door.

• 

  Step 6

  Do the same for the window, cutting a silver rectangle.

• 

  Step 7

  Then cut another window from clear vinyl.

• 

  Step 8

  Carefully cut a smaller window shape from the middle of the silver rectangle for the window so that you're left with a 1/4" window frame.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut four small leather circles to fit inside the large buttons.

• 

  Step 10

  Pin the door in place on the front of one of the trailer pieces. Pin the window frame in place with the clear vinyl window behind it.

• 

  Step 11

  Sew the door in place.

• 

  Step 12

  Sew the window in place.

• 

  Step 13

  Get a zip that's long enough to fit around the top edge of your trailer.

• 

  Step 14

  Cut a rectangle of silver fabric to the length of your zip and 4" wide.

• 

  Step 15

  Cut this strip in half down the middle.

• 

  Step 16

  Pin the zip in the middle of the two strips.

• 

  Step 17

  Sew the zip in place, removing the pins as you go.

• 

  Step 18

  With the wrong sides facing out, pin strip with the zipper around the edge of the front trailer piece so that it's 1/2" in from the edge.

• 

  Step 19

  it should look like this.

• 

  Step 20

  Sew in place.

• 

  Step 21

  Pin the back trailer piece to the other side of the strip with the zipper like this.

• 

  Step 22

  Sew in place.

• 

  Step 23

  Your zip should look like this.

• 

  Step 24

  Finally, cut a rectangle of fabric for the bottom of the washbag and pin to the bottom 1/2" in from the edge.

• 

  Step 25

  Unzip the top of the bag and sew the bottom in place.

• 

  Step 26

  Cut off any excess fabric from the seam allowance and turn the bag inside out.

• 

  Step 27

  Using a sewing needle, stitch the buttons for wheels on to each corner of the bag.

• 

  Step 28

  I glued a metal number on the door - we stayed in rocket number 3.

• 

  Step 29

  Finally, turn the bag inside out and cut away the inner fabric from the window.

• 

  Step 30

  Your bag is ready to fill with toiletries and take on an adventure!
