Sailrite® Leather Mini Tote Bag Kit

Sew it yourself! The Sailrite® Leather Mini Tote Bag Kit includes the pattern and materials you need to sew a fashionable mini leather tote. The tote features beautiful pebbled chrome tan cow leather, durable cotton duck lining, a generous-size outside pocket, two straps and decorative rivets. This is a simple project perfect for beginner leather crafters who want to practice their technique and learn some basic leather skills.

Here are just a few of the skills you’ll learn while making these bags:

• How to sew a bag lining.
• How to add a bag pocket.
• How to install rivets.
• How to topstitch leather.
• And more!

The bag pattern comes pre-plotted on patterning paper. The pattern pieces are labeled for you, making assembly a breeze. Once the pieces are cut out, we recommend gluing the paper pattern to a backing material like poster board or cardboard to make a reusable template.

Finished Dimensions: 8-1/2"W x 10"H x 4-1/2"D

Please Note: There are no written instructions for this kit. We have made a detailed how-to instructional video, found in the Videos tab, on how to assemble and sew the Mini Tote Bag Kit.
