Tuesday, March 30; 6-9pm CT 

Try your hand at Japanese stab binding, a book structure with origins dating from the 1600s in Japan, China, and Korea. The Japanese stab binding features unique exposed sewing patterns and works well for binding several separate sheets of paper together. In this virtual workshop, make two softcover books using two traditional sewing patterns, Kangxi and Hemp Leaf.

All skill levels welcome!
