Love these words by @worthwhilepaper 💕 All of the most amazing things happen when we dare to take that first step outside of our comfort zones, even if that means we might mess up, even if that means we might have to uproot limiting beliefs we’ve held onto for so long, even if that means we might be MORE alive and fulfilled and capable than we ever thought possible. (Things going really WELL can be it's own kind of scary!) When's the last time you took a chance on yourself? How did it work out?!

Especially if you're new to bag making, setting yourself up with all the right tools is SO important. 🛠 🧰 Investing in the right stuff will save you so much time and frustration. That's why we put together this Basic Bag Sewing Tool Kit! We've tried all the tools and found the best ones, so you don't have to 😊 This bundle, available on our site, will set you up for all kinds of bag making adventures. It includes: metal thread snips • a seam ripper • flower head pins • wonder clips • a chaco liner pencil • and a fabric pencil & sharpener. Follow the link in our bio to check it out!

Love this shot of our patterns and kits at @pintuckandpurl! If you're in New Hampshire, this awesome shop is stocked up with all kinds of KH goodies 😊 What's your fav local fabric/sewing supplies shop? We're always on the lookout for great stockists to work with. Tag them below! 💕

Want to learn how to finish the interior seams on your Woodland Dopp Kit? We have the blog post you've been waiting for! Our most recent blog post is a fun collaboration with @untitledthoughts, who was down to try out 4️⃣ different ways of finishing the Woodland seams and document her process along the way.
.⠀
When we designed the Woodland, our goal was to create a Dopp kit with the simplest possible construction—a quick, easy, and educational sew. As a result, we chose a construction that leaves the interior seam allowances exposed, giving the finished product a somewhat rugged look.Our Woodland instructions suggest four ways to finish these seams, for stitchers who prefer a cleaner aesthetic. Thanks to @untitledthoughts, you can now see exactly what we mean by "zigzag stitch, pinking shears, serger, and bias tape binding." If you're getting ready to make a Woodland and want to give one of these techniques a go, definitely check out this post!⠀
.⠀
Feeling empowered to make little design and construction alterations to any sewing pattern is a skill that comes with experience and a dash of bravery. It’s a way of engaging more deeply with the pattern, putting your larger skillset to use, and practicing creative problem solving. We hope this post inspires you to do just that! 💕 (📷 by @untitledthoughts)
