Sleeping Cat Leather Bag Pattern – Storage Box Design

Cat Leather Bag Pattern, Sleeping Cat Purse and Storage Box Design

Cat Leather Bag Pattern for a small leather bag with a sleeping cat tucked inside, as if it climbed into the bag and fell asleep there. This design can be used as a cute child’s bag, a playful Cat Purse Pattern for everyday use, or, without handles, as a Leather Storage Box Pattern and Leather Organizer Pattern for your desk. The finished size is approximately 22 x 14 cm, or 8.7 x 5.5 inches.

Materials You’ll Need

For the best result, use medium firm vegetable tanned leather that can hold its shape well.

Recommended leather thickness:
1.6 to 1.8 mm, 4 to 4.5 oz.

For the cat’s head, thicker leather is not recommended, because the small details will be harder to bend and stitch neatly. Please do not use chrome tanned leather for the cat’s head. Only vegetable tanned leather can be shaped properly to create the rounded whisker pads and keep the soft sculpted look of the sleeping cat.

Hardware and materials:

• Vegetable tanned leather, medium firmness, 1.6 – 1.8 mm (4 – 4.5 oz)
• 9 rivets for the bag version
• 3 rivets for the storage box version
• Magnetic snap with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 cm, (0.59 – 0.79 in.)
• Fishing line for cat whiskers

You will need approximately 20.43 dm² (2.2 sq. ft.) of leather.

This Sleeping Cat Pattern is designed so you can choose the version you like best. With handles attached, it becomes a charming small bag or child’s bag. Without handles, it turns into a desk box that can hold small tools, clips, threads, or other little things and add a smile to your workspace.
