Bind your book, give it a cover, and take home a journal or sketchbook - perfect for on the go ramblings and sketches! Instruction will include a few different stitches (coptic, French twist and pamphlet stitch) and then you can stitch your own book and have the option to make a fabric or vellum book cover. Included: Pre-cut papers and fabrics for the book covers, and each person will have a little stitch kit with needles, thread, an awl, scissors, and a print out with stitches which will go home with you after class.
