The Santorini Tote is a great bag to make especially if using unconventional materials such as vinyl or cork.

Pattern pieces are NOT included in the printed booklet - they are rectangles, very easy to measure and cut. If you need pattern pieces please email help@sewhungryhippie.com and we will send you a file.

The video sew-along link is in the pattern so you can follow along easily.

This bag features a zipper top closure as the main bag opening, optional zipper pockets on the outside and inside, and you can use almost any type of straps or handle you wish, including my sew-able leather straps and webbing.
