with Amanda D'Amico
Thursday, March 25; 6:30-9:30pm CT 

Inspired by needlework samplers, this virtual workshop explores several decorative sewing patterns for single signature books. Building on a simple pamphlet stitch, learn several stitches and execute them on a single, multi-signature book. The result is a decorative and functional book that serves as both a reference for sewing and a specimen of achievement in and of itself. In addition to tools participants source themselves (see more information below), the instructor will send a basic materials kit prior to the workshop, and will discuss alternate materials during work time.

All skill levels welcome!
