Leather Shopper Bag Pattern – Funny Cat Tote Template

About the design

For a while I’d wanted to make something that felt different. And then came this guy — a funny cat peeking out of a wine glass. He turned out cheeky, a little smug, and totally loveable. And somehow, he worked perfectly with the clean shape of the bag.

This isn’t just decoration — it’s energy. The design sticks with you. Not loud or flashy, but definitely memorable.

Whether you use natural tones or bold colors, that cat is going to steal the show. Every version has its own attitude.

What this bag is good for

This DIY leather tote bag template is made for real use. It’s designed to wear over the shoulder or crossbody, with a wide, adjustable strap on snap hooks and D-rings.

You get two pockets:

• One outside, for things you need quickly

• One inside, for more personal items

It’s the kind of bag you actually carry — to the shop, to work, or just around town. No fluff, just smart structure and a bit of humor.

Your version of the cat in a glass

This leather cat shopper pattern is easy to make your own. Pick your leather, play with color, decide if your cat is sassy, sleepy, classy, or weird. It’s up to you.

What you get is a functional, expressive accessory — and a good laugh every time you look at it.
