This is a beginners friendly class but if you have taken my beginners bookbinding class you will have a small advantage. In this class I will teach you how to sew together a simple pamphlet book that's around 1inch square, so it's small! This technique is the same I use to make the pamphlet books in my beginners class so you can go away and just take what you have learned and make it bigger, to make 'regular' sized books.

These small books are perfect for decorating your tree, using them as gift tags, as ideas for presents and also to write lists to santa. All materials are provided, if you have ribbon you would like to use please feel free to bring it along with you.

This class is for 2 hours and within that time I'll show you all how to make three decorations to take home with you. I will also have my book available to buy, alongside some liquid cheer!
