Needle Binding Jackie Hefty
It just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to impress your
friends or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching design on the spine of
the book resembles a herringbone pattern. This book is designed to lie flat when open which allows for ease in drawing
or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required. Minimal supplies are necessary to continue
making these beautiful books at home. Class sizes are limited. All materials needed are included but suggestions for
personal embellishments are provided in the supply list. Thurs Oct 1, 1 - 4:30 $65/$5
