Whenever I see someone share a mistake, or a moment of frustration in their making process, I send them a virtual fist bump and a whole lotta respect. (Shout out to .i.made.this for this little seam rip moment!)

If you're brave enough to try your hand at a new skill, you will almost certainly make mistakes. In my years of teaching, I've noticed that you can spot a seasoned maker by the way they are unruffled by screwing something up. They've made enough mistakes to know that they're inevitable and can almost always be corrected.

It's a resiliency that gets built up over time like a muscle. Every mistake makes you a better maker. And that's worth showing off! ⭐️

What have you seam ripped lately? Tell me in the comments.

πŸ“Έ Throwback to Seattle, 2006!

Ellie was making bags for (RIP 🀍), the custom messenger bag company she co-founded in Philly back in 1998. This R.E. Load shop in Capitol Hill had in-house production, so stitchers manufactured bags right there on site.

Ellie's roots in the industrial sewing industry have deeply informed what we do at Klum House today. We love to bridge the gap between home hobby sewing and small batch production, teaching makers that they can in fact make badass, professional-quality bags at home!

It's always fun to look back and reflect on all of the experiences that have added up to where we are today.

What experiences have set you on your maker path?
