leave your clothes behind for the next trip then load up your suitcase full of fabric.

I ended up getting an additional suit case, but only brought 1 with me so I didn't have to pay for the additional luggage coming back....the trick was getting it under the allowable poundage allowance ....don't ya just love it

Quit a few years ago my dad went on vacation . Brought back frozen fish and had his clothes sent home by mail.We still laugh about that. Thats sounds like a good plan. That way you have your fabric with you

I have been known to go on trips with my clothes packed in a smaller bag that will nest inside a larger bag so I could have an empty bag for purchases. Or you can always go to walmart and buy a cheap duffle bag to transport the fabric.

When I travel I always pack cloths that I was planning on donating, but instead donate them in the city I visit that way you have more luggage space for fabric & other items you want to bring back & you don't have to lug home dirty cloths to wash. You can wash all your new fabric!!!!!!

Throw everything out of suit case
that you do not need.

Oh this is so easy - simply WEAR ALL of the clothes you want to keep and pack up the suitcase....

After a visit to M&L you will never be the same again!!!! Decide right now, this very minute that you are mailing a big box home. Then, return to M&L! LOL I have taken guests from all over the world and mailed many boxes!
Enjoy!

my last trip to Orlando, I went to Stein mart and bought two large pieces of Bill Blass hard side luggage in TURQUIOSE - usually about $150-$200 each. Wonderful Stein Mart had them for $90 total!!! I was able to bring home many yards from an estate sale in the Bay Hill neighborhood!! That's where Shaq lives!! I just love my florida jaunts!!
