Product Description
The Santorini Tote Recessed Zipper PDF Add-On from Sew Hungry Hippie is an instant-download pattern hack that modifies the original Santorini Tote to feature a recessed zipper closure instead of the standard top zipper. Includes a cutting chart, 12 written steps with video timestamps, and a full video tutorial.
What This Add-On Does
In the original Santorini Tote pattern, the zipper sits at the top of the bag for easy access. This add-on moves the zipper to a recessed position inside the bag opening for a cleaner, more polished look. Construction is modified accordingly, with an option to rivet the straps on at the end for the best fit.
Important: You still need the original Santorini Tote pattern to make this bag. This is a style hack add-on only — it does not include full bag construction instructions.
What’s Included
- Instant PDF download
- Cutting chart for the recessed zipper modification
- 12 written steps with video timestamps
- Full video tutorial
Strap Note
Straps can be attached the same way as the original pattern, or riveted on at the very end — your choice. Riveting at the end allows the zipper section to sit down inside the bag more cleanly.

I am so excited by how my santorini tote came out! The instructions were so clear and the video was so helpful. I am already starting another one with different fabric for my daughter in law.
I just received my clear star vinyl and Monarch butterfly fabric. Tomorrow is the day I make another Santorini medium tote.
I just ordered the fusible foam and I can hardly wait to use it.
I love this pattern! It’s easy to follow and lends itself to modifications quite well. I’ve had the pattern less than 60 days and I’ve made three bags so far.
I am an experienced bag maker, who recently discovered the Santorini tote on a Facebook ad. I love the professional look of the bag and couldn’t wait to make one. I made my first bag with materials. I already had, including a cork bottom and it turned out so beautifully, I actually gifted it! Then I got on her website to look at vinyl and ordered a large stash of various colors. As soon as I receive the vinyl, I made my second Santorini. Now I am hooked! Her products are exceptional and her patterns with step-by-step video instruction are excellent! I am your biggest fan. I will continue to purchase her gorgeous materials and accessories, and will even order more bag patterns.
This is my 1st SHH pattern. The instructions, pictures and layout is fantastic. No stress creating. I played within my fabric stash to try it out. I’m inspired and excited to make many more!
Top quality for sure!
The video courses are the reason bag making is fun! Pictures and written directions work after one or two times through sewing with Natalie. No frustration needed or allowed!
Great beginner course. Im so glad I have this to refer back to. Im on my 4th Santorini. Thank you for such amazing content.
Amazing pattern, coupled with SHH fantastic video tutorials, makes this an essential base pattern for bag making. Made three bags already, and learning more and more each time I make this.bag, so much room for creativity! Recommend!!!***
This was very informative course and I’m so glad I got it. Fun, too! Easy to follow using the pattern along with the video. I will be doing more courses!
Nice add-on to the Santorini tote! Downloading was simple and the video was good! Santorini is such a versatile pattern and this adds on more options!
Great pattern and lots of room to customize. Really love it!
Easy shopping, easy check out, easy download, great pattern.
I have only made one tote, but another is in progress. I do recommend watching some of the YouTube videos Natalie has on bag making. It helped me so much as this was my first project with foam and first front facing zip pocket.
The Santorini is a wonderful handbag pattern that can be made in an infinite variety of substrates. In conjunction with Natalie’s clear step by step video course, you can be assured of a successful project.
Highly recommend!!!
Oh my gosh thank you so much!! That truly means the world to me 😊 I’m so happy you enjoyed the Santorini and the course!!
Love the way my first bag turned out thanks Natalie for an amazing pattern. Made with my stash for my granddaughter
i found this pattern extremely helpful. the measurements ineeded were easy to find and the directions were easy to follow. my bags came out beautifully!
Appreciate the video, too.
Where do i find the new pattern for the new way of making a pocket
I don't understand what this means, sorry. The pattern has full instructions for all pockets. If you're talking about the purse sized pocket the instructions are in the pattern.
