Phileas Tote Pattern

The Phileas Tote Pattern by Kate Bashynski for Sallie Tomato includes sewing instructions for creating a Renaissance-themed bag that was inspired by one of the main characters of the film "Around the World in 80 Days", Phileas Fogg: a wealthy Englishman who wagers that he can travel around the world in 80 days. This tote bag features a top zipper closure, multiple pockets, strap and handle options, as well as an option to carry the Fogg bag on the belt accessory, located on the side of the bag. Finished size: 17-1/2" W x 15" H x 5” D.
