😍 Maker Stories

@rlsmakes

"Finished up another heavy duty canvas bag! I learned a lot of new sewing techniques while making the Portsmith Tote. Definitely recommend! 😄"

@sonicstitches

"I absolutely love The Porsmith Tote! It fits so much, including my big ol’ laptop, and it was a blast to work with waxed canvas for the first time."

@jesdoeslife__

"Oh my gosh the Portsmith Tote really is a beginner-friendly pattern! It only took me a couple of hours to make and I'll definitely be making more. It would make the perfect gift!"

@artgeekery

"First waxed canvas and envelope corner experience -anyone who thinks they can't do this— you totally can (it's only two pieces of fabric plus hardware)! Brilliant, beautiful, highly functional, and in my case, burgundy. What's not to love? ❤️🧵✂️👜👍"

@kathleenloveshack

"Highly enjoyed making this for mi madre. Waxed cotton on top, with a navy canvas base and leather straps. I'm learning that I really like hammering hardware/rivets. Maybe I should take up kickboxing?!"

@wanderingzoe

"As you’ve surely seen by the piles of totes I’ve been churning out this summer, I am quite a fan of this bag design... The envelope fold at the bottom is my absolute favorite method for boxing corners. It’s simple yet sturdy and just the cutest."

Portsmith Leather and Hardware kit

I bought the Portsmith pattern and leather and hardware kit. Really loved how the bag turned out. Everything from Klum House is well packaged and the instructions are easy to follow....well, I did use my seam ripper a few times, and that is because I am still learning. But I love the kits and different items to help make great gifts! Ellie does a great job in explaining how to do certain tasks. A great teacher!

Excellent pattern

I've been a sewist for 50+ years. Klum House pattern instruction are, by far, the best I've ever used. Very clear, well written, and the images are excellent. The Tips are pretty darn great too ;)

Great quality!

These handles are so lovely, and with the holes pre punched I had my bag finished about 10 minutes after the mailman dropped off my order!
