Patterns designed to upskill your bag making.

At Klum House, we pride ourselves in creating patterns that are thoughtful, holistic, and easy-to-follow. We want you to feel fully-supported at every step of your making journey.

Clear Instructions

We are teachers, first and foremost, and as such we know that clear language is so important. We are dedicated to crafting simple, easy-to-follow instructions, so you can forge ahead with confidence.

Helpful Tips + Cautions

Your instructions booklet will be peppered with helpful tips, reminders, and caution moments. We know all of the most common mistakes (because we’ve made them!) and point them out so you can avoid them.

Excellent Illustrations

Our patterns are filled with helpful, technically-precise illustrations. We makers are visual learners! With 3D renderings and transparent layers, we’ll help you conceptualize every stitch, flip, and fold.

Specialty Education

Bag making is different from other types of sewing. It involves working with heavy-duty fabrics, leather, hardware, and tools you may not have encountered before. But don’t worry, our patterns break it all down.

Multiple Making Paths

Whether you choose to make from an all-inclusive maker kit, a leather + hardware kit, or “from scratch,” our patterns are designed to guide you along your chosen path to guarantee a successful make!

😍 Maker Stories

Mallory Hill

"The Alberta is the perfect quick project when you want a simple design with a lot of style. The leather accents add just enough character to the bag to make the entire piece stand out. It's the perfect size to fit everything you would need for a quick outing with friends or a full day out running errands. The adjustable crossbody strap also makes it extremely versatile with multiple carrying options."
— Mallory Hill

"A quick, easy sew with a refined final product. Alberta can be dressed up or down and is the perfect size - it holds everything I need without being overwhelming on my petite frame."
— Lilly

@sewbonico

"I absolutely loved making it! The design is simple yet stylish, with a very clean finish. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I really enjoyed sewing it, and I'm already planning to make another one. Alberta is definitely going to be one of my go-to everyday bags!"

@sal-sews

“I loved making this! It turned out great and I’ve already gotten a bunch of compliments.”

@kreativekymona

"This bag is so cute & it holds a lot! I will definitely make another one!"

@steadman_amanda

"Finished another beautiful waxed canvas and leather bag from @klumhouse. Love how it turned out!"

@kpostrel

"I’ve had the kit to make this bag for a long time and finally sat down to make it. It made up quickly and features a fully lined interior, adjustable strap (for wearing crossbody, shoulder, or waist) and two interior pockets (even though the pattern only called for one. The exterior fabric is a heavy waxed canvas that I think will be durable and age in a unique way."
