"He authentically could not believe that I had made it. He was genuinely shocked at how legit it looked."

"In tow is my Portsmith tote that I sewed up last week. Wanting to sew up all the waxed canvas things now!"

"I love the backpack option! It's so comfy and I could really see myself using it whenever I need a bit more space. The convertible straps are just genius!"

"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."

"I was really intimidated by the look of this bag, but it was so quick and the instructions were excellent!"

"My first serious attempt at bag making. Even with the many new-to-me elements, the sewing itself was simple, and thanks to great instructions, it felt doable. I enjoyed everything!

"This bag turned out so radical! It was cool to be able to make a whole badass backpack with zippers, rolltop, leather, hardware."

"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. "

Watch me make the Naito!

"I think it looks super chic and rugged and adventure-y (Indiana Jones meets on-the-go maker??). It’s SUPER roomy with tons of pockets! I can fit everything & still look put together if I’m not feeling my usual giant backpack look."

"Says it’ll only take 1-3 hours, and that advertising is not false!! ⚡️Had the best brain break golden hour post-work sewing session 🌞"
