😍 Maker Stories

Let me say— I. Love. This. Bag. Spent so much time and love (and swear words) making this Oberlin Tote for my mom's Xmas present."

@thanks.i.made.this

"I’m very happy with my finished tote and truly enjoyed the process. I felt confident in what I was doing and learned a new skill (the edge stitch presser foot - what a dream!). The pieces came together quickly, and I was impressed with how my interior pocket and zipper expansion turned out!"

@newcityknits

"I love this bag so much, I immediately made a second one...Such a great bag for carrying the seven hundred things I take into work"

@nevernotknitting78

"Everything feels luxe: the waxed canvas, buttery leather, and beautiful hardware. It was a joy to make throughout the whole assembly process. From start to finish, having all the supplies at my fingertips made this project immensely satisfying."

@danicadoesit

"I don’t want to call this a tote because it's much more elevated—an accessory I'll build entire fall outfits around. The Oberlin maker kit includes high-quality pieces, which are hard to source without buying in bulk. I've never had that VIP experience before, but I could get used to it!"
