"This was my first time making a bag and I was nervously excited to tackle this backpack, but it turned out great!"
"This bag turned out so radical! It was cool to be able to make a whole badass backpack with zippers, rolltop, leather, hardware."

Great pattern! Never disappointed in Klum House products and service
D
I'm a relative beginner and this pattern was super clear. The instructions are very precise and walk you through every step with lots of helpful technique tips along the way.
C
I purchased the pattern along with the online class. With a few hours of seeing I’m almost half way done before I knew it (I’m tackling two at once for my nephews). Klum House is truly about a great maker experience.
