Everything you need to become a bag maker
who we are 
Klum House is a one-stop bag making shop and school in Portland, Oregon. Our women-owned and powered company offers bag making kits, patterns, tools, supplies, and classes to help makers create heavy-duty bags on a home sewing machine.
Founded by Ellie Lum, a professional bag maker with twenty years of experience, Klum House aims to bridge the gap between small-batch manufacturing and home sewing, showing makers they are capable of things they never thought possible.
YOU'VE GOT THIS
Yes, our bags are heavy-duty and look hella professional, but don't let that intimidate you! If you're brave enough to give bag making a try, you'll quickly learn that you can absolutely do this. Here's a little secret... it's easier than it looks!
We've taught thousands of folks to make bags over the years, many of whom were complete beginners. No matter your skill level, we'll meet you where you are and show you what you're capable of. (Spoiler alert: you're capable of a LOT!)
