Oberlin - グレー カスタムバッグメーカーキット

The leather handles and hardware were the parts I was nervous about, but they stitched on cleanly and the tote actually stands up on its own now. Having the large-format paper template made cutting the fabric way less stressful than taping together printed pages.

I've sewn a few tote patterns before and the leather handles in this kit are what sold me — they're pre-cut and the holes line up perfectly, no punching needed. The PDF instructions walk you through the lining step by step, which I appreciated as someone who usually wings it. Finished bag looks way

The large-format paper pattern template made cutting out the pieces so much easier—no more squinting at tiny diagrams. The leather accents give it a really polished, high-end look that I wasn't expecting from a kit.
