😍 Maker Stories
"There’s something so enjoyable about being able to bust out a professional-looking, beautiful, and completely practical project in under an hour. And Klum House makes it so easy with the kit! Some kind of ✨ magic happens once you put that final rivet through the leather zipper pull."
I 💙 it! The instructions are really easy to follow & I love waxed canvas when it looks worn and marked. It's a permission slip to spend time lost in the flow of making. And my son didn’t have a proper traveling case for his toiletries... so I made him one! But, I couldn’t stop at creating only one.
"This kit comes with everything you need to create a really sleek looking bag, which is nice for someone like me who doesn't work with leather or rivets all that often and who doesn't particularly want to spend all my time hunting those accessories down. It also comes in a variety of colors, all of which were really difficult to choose from!"
"The instructions are really easy to follow and are very clear and straightforward for beginners. Before I started sewing, I crushed the waxed canvas fabric into a tight ball in my hand for a few seconds to get the lovely markings. I love waxed canvas when it looks worn and marked – gives it so much character."

FAQS
Questions about the Woodland Online Class? We've got you covered.
Yes, you can totally make this bag on a regular home sewing machine! No heavy-duty or industrial machine required. For best results, we highly recommend working on a machine that has been well-maintained and using a new, sharp needle. Denim Needles or nonstick needles (if working with waxed canvas) are our favorite!

The Woodland Dopp Kit is a Beginner-level bag making project. The finished bag may look hella professional, but don't let that intimidate you! Even if you've never sewin before, you'll do great. Be sure you have all of the correct tools on hand, and we also highly recommend signing up for the Woodland online class, as Ellie's video instructions are super helpful for visual learners and anyone who could use an extra post of confidence.
These are the tools and sewing supplies we recommend having on hand for the optimal Woodland-making experience.
Sewing Supplies:
- Size 100 denim needle or nonstick needle (our favorites for sewing heavy-duty fabric & waxed canvas)
- Craft clips (for securing multiple layers of waxed canvas)
- 5" x 5" Quilting ruler (comes in handy for marking boxed corners)
- Hammer + hard surface (for setting rivets)
Tools:
The Woodland Dopp Kit has double-cap rivets, which can be set with just a regular hammer. Optionally, you can use a double-cap rivet setter and a (non-rubber!) mallet on a hard surface, such as a slab of stone, metal anvil, or concrete floor. To make holes in fabric you’ll need a 3/32” drive punch, which is used with a mallet on a cutting board. Or you can use a tapered tailor's awl to make holes in your fabric.
You can add these tools to your kit, or combined in The Drive Punch Toolkit for a discounted price!

very easy to make when following the video. all step for making the project are explained very clearly
This class was SO useful to me in making my dopp kit! It was my first make outside of a very simple tote bag and following along with this class was key to me being able to actually make this kit. So glad I purchased this with my kit!
I LOVED this class - it is so detailed it's fool-proof! Did with my toddler "helping" and the bag turned out amazing. Can't wait to make more!
