Cut your plastic canvas pieces: two panels for the front and back, two sides, one bottom, and one top flap (optional). Make sure the dimensions fit your desired bag size.
Cross stitch each cat motif carefully, alternating colors to create a repeating pattern. Keep your tension consistent for an even finish.
Once all panels are stitched, trim any extra threads and whipstitch the edges together with orange yarn to form the structure of the bag.
Attach the leather handles securely through pre-punched holes or with strong glue. If adding a strap, sew or hook it onto the side edges.
