This leather tote bag pattern makes a shopper 27.5 cm (10.8 in) high and 26.5 cm (10.4 in) wide with a funny cat peeking out of a wine glass on the front – cheeky, a little smug and impossible not to notice. It is roomy enough for everyday things, for the shop, work or a walk around town.
A wide strap on snap hooks and D-rings adjusts with a tri-glide slide, so you can wear the bag over the shoulder or crossbody. On the back there is a pocket with a flap that closes with two snap fasteners, for things you need quickly. The cat and the glass are cut as separate parts, so you can make them from contrasting leather.
