This is a digital download of for ALL SIZES of the Savannah No-Sew Leather Purse. All of these patterns will work on almost any sized laser, the Cricut Maker, and could be cut by hand. You could print this design and cut this with a pair of leather scissors, and perhaps a sharp chisel for the inside slots. If you are skilled at using a razor blade, that would work as well. You could print these full size and trace them onto thin MDF and use a bandsaw to make a permanent template. While these designs come from a very engineered process, the end result is a very simple pattern.
This was a project covered in the following YouTube video: https://youtu.be/ZtMxoOAFJ8U. In the video, I go through my process of creating this design, all the way through assembly. Please watch the YouTube video mentioned above for details.

What weight and type of leather you choose is really a personal choice. Because of the nature of this design, you do want a stiff leather so the arrows have some strength to hold in the slots. I typically use varying weights of vegetable tanned leather. Thinner leather may be more prone to tabs coming out with weight and stress.
