He can get a good used suitcase at Goodwill. I would also only let him take 5 outfits. The hotel will have laundry and cleaning facilities. I think I'd just have the fabric and goodies shipped to the hotel. I know I wouldn't trust my DH to pick out fabric for me. LOL. He's a dear man, but not a fabric shopper. Can't wait to see what wonderful goodies you get!
