A disclaimer from the designer. The Trolly Sleeve is approximately 7″ wide. Due to the varying sizes of luggage handles, the Trolly Sleeve may not fit over your luggage handle. Before making the Trolley Sleeve, measure your luggage handle to see if it will fit in the Trolley Sleeve. If it doesn’t, you can proceed with using the instructions for making it a slip pocket instead.
