Long stitch book bindings are decorative and make wonderful sketchbooks, notebooks, travel journals and scrapbooks. because they are sewn, do not use glue, open flat, and have infinite possibilities. In this introductory one-day workshop, we’ll make books using two different basic long stitch bindings and learn some useful techniques to incorporate into your next bookmaking projects.
