Learn the ancient art of Japanese bookbinding using an easy hand-stitching technique. Create a one-of-a-kind book filled with textiles you would like to preserve. Collect remnants that are meaningful to you such as pieces of children’s clothing (or your own), wedding dresses, special quilts, vintage hankies, laces, embroideries, souvenirs from travels, etc. Start with something special for the cover, then fill pages with everything else making sure to leave space for adding descriptions, photos, pattern covers, and more. The kit contains paper, covers, end papers, heavy needle, and binding threads. Binding tools will be available for the class to use. You supply your special fabrics. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
