Shipping & Returns
Hello! We ship everday and some Saturdays. On US Federal Holidays no mail moves - you *may* see a label print, but it will leave the next mailing day. If we take a short break for vacation, it is announced ahead of time on all social media channels and in the newsletter. Are you signed up for my emails? They often contain treasures!
Please keep shipping insurance (Package Protection) in your cart. If you take it out, you will have to file your own claim with USPS or UPS. While mistakes with the Carriers are rare, they do happen and it's best to have full coverage.
PRE ORDERS ship as stated in the listing -- usually these take some time to arrive. IF YOU COMBINE in stock items with a preorder they will ship TOGETHER at one time. Make a separate order if you need in-stock items sooner. Thanks!!
We DO ship to Canada & most other European countries, also Australia and New Zealand through USPS or UPS if you choose it. We do NOT cover import fees.
Our mail system is pretty amazing when compared to the rest of the world and we are so grateful to the Carriers that make it happen!
Vinyl is usually rolled and either wrapped in tissue or a protective bag, and sent that way. Some vinyl (soft metallic and moonglow for example) can be folded without causing damage, you can opt to iron it from the back side as well. In any case, if your vinyl arrives with wrinkles you can simply place it in the sunshine OR use a hair dryer to warm it flat again, or iron it (wrong side only). If you think your vinyl is damaged, please email me and I will take care of you. 😊
**Soft metallic vinyl, Stardust, croc, and Moonglow vinyl CAN be ironed from the wrong side. See my Guide for Sewing Vinyl for more info.
If we made a mistake on your order OR if something arrives damaged, email us so we can fix it. The Sew Hungryhippie team strives for perfect but we are humans & are training new employees... Thank you for your grace. help@sewhungryhippie.com
Returns are accepted for damaged items and we will send you a return label. Returns for "changing your mind" are accepted at YOUR return shipping expense, and will be processed with a restocking fee of 10%
Thank you for supporting my small business! YOU have made a huge difference in my family's life and I think about it every single day.

THIS IS THE PDF instant download pattern. If you need a printed booklet, find it here.
The Santorini Tote is a great bag to make, especially if using unconventional materials such as vinyl or cork. This pattern has three size options, a video walk-through link, and has various hacks, and has been been by hundreds of Sewists.
Three size options are included in the pattern: small or purse size, medium, and large. Finished sizes are approximately (will depend on your bottom corners) 16" x 13", 19" x 16", and 21" x 17".
Pattern pieces are included in the PDF- they are rectangles and are very easy to measure and cut.
The Santorini Tote is a beginner-friendly bag pattern that includes a video walk-through link. YOU CAN make this bag! I often opt to leave the zipper pockets off for a fast finish. Please know you can add or subtract different elements to this design with success.
Here is a video montage of various Santorini Totes in the wild.
If you want to make it patchwork style, I have a video here for you on how I make my patchwork sections. The video is for a pillow, but it's the same technique. You will treat the patchwork panels as "fabric" once pieced, & then cut to your bag size, and proceed with the pattern.
Included are lots of options to help you build YOUR best bag. Zippered security pockets, slip-in pockets, and zipper installation are all illustrated to help you through each step.
**Zipper sits at the top of this bag. If you are looking for the recessed zipper hack, that add-on is here.**

I love making bags. Your vinyl is so soft and pretty. I haven’t made this bag yet , but I intend to do so shortly. I’m sorry but at this time I can’t afford VIP. When I can I will definitely sign up.
Absolutely love the pattern. I’m new to sewing and I’ve never used vinyl, but I’m so looking forward to trying it and other variations.
I am so excited, this pattern is fabulous , I made the regular size , it was a little larger than I had made before, however it is well worth it. I love making this bag, I am on my 3rd bag.
The directions are very clear and well written and wonderfully illustrated. There are many options for customizing including size, additional pockets, and optional zipper placements,. Looking forward to making decisions on which options to incorporate and to make this stylish bag. I’m sure there will be more than one in my future!
I often travel for 2-3 days at a time, I have made the purse and regular size Santorini totes. Both are great sizes but the regular size is my absolute go to for short duration travel. I made an extra large wallet and a zipper pouch to match and don’t have to carry anything else!! Bonus is the pattern is so well written and easy to follow, read it and do what it says, you’ll love this tote!!
