Is your new year’s resolution to whittle down your fabric stash? Join us for this scrap busting workshop at the brand new studio classroom at Tammarie designs.
Have fabric you just can’t figure out how to use, or little pieces left from other projects? Bring them to class, and maybe mix it up by swapping with other students. We will transform them into a colorful cover for a little journal. Then we will add some simple hand embroidery, before adding some blank pages using some traditional binding techniques. By the end of the workshop you will have a sweet little blank book, the perfect place to keep all your creative thoughts this coming year.
Join us via zoom to take some things you probably already have at home, some printer paper, thread and a gift bag, and turn them into this cute little book complete with handles! We will use a few simple tools to create this book, bound with this long stitch style binding, complete with a button. Its a great way to use that gift bag from a vacation that you’ve been saving, and the finished book is perfect to give as a gift or keepsake, or keep it for yourself, the handles make it convenient to carry anywhere!
You don’t need any previous experience, and we will send you a full list of materials when you sign up. The zoom recording will be available after the workshop with lifetime access.

Join our resident paper and book artist, Deb Eck, and learn how to turn an old hardback book into a fun and functional journal. In class Deb will cover how to reinforce and decorate your up-cycled cover, how to measure for new pages, and make sure the grain is correct so they lay flat and are nice to use. We’ll talk about other inclusions, and wrap it all up with a demonstration of three styles of sewing – pamphlet, Coptic and French link stitch – that can be used to put your unique journal together.
A full supply list will be sent upon registration.
Space is very limited so BOOK NOW!
Join book and paper artist Deb Eck and learn this traditional binding technique. Coptic binding was employed by early Christians in Egypt, the Copts, and used from as early as the 2nd century. It is a popular binding style because the finished book lies completely flat when opened making it perfect for writing or sketching.
