This is a leather pattern for a very unique purse. I'm calling it a Hobo Tote, or a Slouch Bag.
The PDF file has a link to a video tutorial, so you can see how to get setup and how I put it together.

A Hobo Tote is awesome cause it combines the slouchy hobo casual feel with the stability of a tote bag. It's super easy to just throw a few things in and hit the road. Perfect for a quick run to the local farmer's market and still stylish enough to carry during a gallery stroll. In the video I'll show you how I made it and show a couple of versions for using it as a handbag or with a longer strap, crossbody.
Sizes: approx. 14" at it's widest, 5 inches deep (at the base), from the bottom to the purse opening is 7 inches, and then from the bottom to the top (where it connects to the strap) is 13 inches.
My recommendation is to use a little thicker, medium temper leather for the main body.
A super loose temper will "slouch" more than Tote bags should, and won't have that structure.
The strap and clasps are 1inch and the grommet (if you choose to use it) is 1/4 inch.
Print pattern using the size selection of "Full Size" or at 100%.
There are measurement guides on the first page to make sure it was printed at the correct size.

Pattern seems easy to follow, quick delivery of instructions. Thank you!
A good, straight-forward leather pattern. I really liked that there are different patterns for different size swords.

Pattern is set for 3 different sizes and printed off well with no problem. Very clearly marked so if you jumble the order you can still separate into proper groups. Only thing was I had to use my laptop instead of my phone but that’s not a problem (I just like to use my phone for everything). Can’t wait to make this! A+++

Great pattern, easy to follow. Cute end result.

Great pattern, easy to follow - and super pleased with the end result. Needed a corset like this for my pirate costume!

Excellent value, immediately received file up load

I used this pattern with zero leather experience and applied it to artificial materials. I came out with such a cute bag that Im now dipping my toes in leather work to make one for myself with proper leather. I can't wait to make this again. I found the instructions very easy to use and the pattern was very well designed and simple to understand.

It’s a great bag! So easy to follow instructions.

It was delivered right away!

I haven't finished making my first one yet, but the pattern has been easy to follow and what I have already completed looks amazing. Highly recommend if you are wanting to go as a plant/spring fairy for a ren faire.

I love this pattern. This is my new favorite bag! Thank you
