Confident Beginner

Level up your Oberlin Tote by adding a zipper closure and/or lining! The zipper closure will help keep all of your things securely tucked away throughout the day. The lining adds structure and is an opportunity to add a fun print or pop of color to your bag's interior. These expansion PDF instructions are designed to be used in tandem with the main Oberlin Tote pattern instructions.

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

@wholalacrafts

"I'm thrilled with how my bag turned out. The process was enjoyable and the pattern is excellent. The time it states is accurate and it's a great project one can finish in a day. Working with waxed canvas can be daunting, but the additional videos, tips, and tricks make it a worry-free project."

Cynthia B.

"I'm so happy with my tote!!! This is going to become my favorite bag. It was a chance for me to try some things that I have wanted to for a very long time...like magnetic snaps and leather rivets and working with waxed canvas. The video resources are excellent!!! These scary techniques are de-mystified now. THANKS!!"

@danicadoesit

"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."

@newcityknits

"I’m very happy with my finished tote and truly enjoyed the process. I felt confident in what I was doing and learned a new skill (the edge stitch presser foot - what a dream!). The pieces came together quickly, and I was impressed with how my interior pocket and zipper expansion turned out!"

Wanted to add the zipper and lining expansion to an Oberlin kit I already had.
