Join us on Saturday 22nd November at South Block to make your own embroidered notebook!

Make your own embroidered notebook!

During this 2 hours workshop you will learn the 3-holes pamphlet stitch bookbinding technique to create your own notebook using recycled papers and colourful linen thread. Once you have created your notebook you will decorate the cover with a cross stitch design of your choice. There will be templates and grid paper available to help you create your cross stitch design. You will leave with your new notebook read to fill in or gift a lucky soul.

Who is this for?

This event is for anyone ages 16+ interested in learning about bookbinding in a relaxing and welcoming environment. This workshop is suitable for all levels, no previous experience and skills are necessary.
