Our Materials
Waxed Canvas
A densely-woven cotton fabric that's saturated with wax, giving it protection against the elements. It shows scuffs and creases that blend into a weathered patina. *fabric colors vary in weight from 10-12oz
Leather
Sourced from Oregon and a Pennsylvania tannery, and hand-selected for quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency.
Hardware
Hardware takes a bag from looking homemade to professional—and it's not hard to do! Using basic tools, you can set rivets & more. All our hardware is real metal and built to last.

😍 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."
"This kit comes all nicely organized and makes sewing a professional-looking bag a breeze, seriously. I've never sewn bags before and the kit has all the leather pieces, rivets, zippers, etc. as well as exterior and lining fabric. Having all the leather pieces come prepped (cut out, holes for rivets punched, etc.) was such a time saver...The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the final project looks so nice; it's fully lined and adorable inside and out."
"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."
"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 kit has the perfect combination of supplies. Personally, I like the fact that you aren't over-supplying - many times I've bought items for one project and still have leftovers because of the pack sizes they come in. With the kit you have exactly what you need so you can just get started making."
"What a sweet little quick and gratifying sew with professional finishes. Considering getting a few more kits and making them for teacher gifts this year."

FAQS
Questions about the Woodland? 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!

The making time for beginner projects is estimated at 1-3 hours. Having said that, each maker has their own pace and process. We recommend adding the online class for extra support and to ensure a seamless (no pun intended 😉) making experience.
We recommend using a 100 denim needle or a non-stick needle, and 1 spool of all-purpose thread to match the lining fabric, since all the stitches on the Woodland show on the interior of the bag.
The Woodland Dopp Kit is a Beginner-level bag making project. Beginner projects will introduce you to the basics of bag making. You'll learn to sew heavy-duty fabric, punch holes in fabric and leather, set metal rivets, and sew your first zipper!
Given as a present and very much appreciated. The making process went smoothly. Would definitely make others.

The kit is well put together, packaged correctly, and of excellent quality.
