Southampton Book Bag

It is hard to believe that this wonderfully-textured bag started life as a craft-store linen tote! However, that is where the pattern starts: with a plain canvas bag and a packet of dye. The final result is a sophisticated bag that is the perfect size to carry your grocery purchases or your latest finds at the bookstore.


The bag features long handles so the bag can be easily carried on your shoulder and an inner carabiner loop to hang your keys & other essentials.


Please see below for more information about this pattern.


NB: This pattern is also included in the Southampton Collection – a set of four linen-lined bags.
