😍 Maker Stories

“I bought a kit as a Christmas present to myself and been wearing it everyday since I made it. Also has proven to be the perfect bag to travel with.”

@fabric_scraps

“WOW! This is all put together so well and the instructions are crystal-clear, it’s amazing! I’m usually easily confused by written instruction 🤪 so, the illustrations are so helpful.”

@christijay

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

@wholalacrafts

“You end up with a bag that looks so professional. It's sleek AND it’s strong enough to carry all my things. It was also very empowering to make this bag.”

@sierraburrel

"I had soooo much fun working on this Maywood!"

@hammerstitchbags

"I teach design classes and love thorough, well explained, detailed instructions. Both the pattern and the class made this build easy. The high quality kit pieces made this bag a dream to make."

Who is it for?
Perfect for commuters, urban explorers, and day-trippers. Suitable for intermediate stitchers ready to level up their skills.

The Maywood Totepack has tubular rivets, which must be set with a tubular rivet peening tool and a (non-rubber!) mallet on a hard surface, such as a slab of stone, metal anvil, or concrete floor.

To set the magnetic snap rivet, you’ll need a Magnetic Snap Rivet Setter or a Dot Anvil (not as professional of a result, but will do in a pinch). Finally, to punch holes in fabric you’ll need a 3/32” drive punch, which is used with a mallet on a cutting board.

You can add these tools to your kit individually, or combined in The Maywood + Naito Essential Tools Bundle for a discounted price!

Tubular rivets are much stronger than double-cap rivets. Since The Maywood is a backpack, the straps pull away from the bag at the attachment points, which makes double-cap rivets unreliable, since they can pop-apart when pulled with opposing force. On the other hand, tubular rivets are made to withstand this force, and will stay in place (especially when reinforced with leather on the backside of the fabric).

So, in a nutshell, The Maywood is designed to stand the test of time! Please don't substitute double-cap rivets for the tubular ones when making The Maywood. Also note: tubular rivets need to be set with a Tubular Rivet Peening Tool (and a non-rubber mallet).
