The Long Stitch book is a simple and beautiful book form that has been used since medieval times in Germany. This is a non-adhesive structure in which the book’s folded pages are sewn directly through the cover material. In this workshop the cover will be flexible with a softly rounded spine (commonly known as a Limp Binding), and an enclosing flap.
The book will use a leather cover (a few color choices will be available) that includes a sewn-in leather cording to wrap and enclose the entire book. It will use the traditional kettle stitch for the outside sewing stations, and the long stitch for the interior sewing stations. These make excellent sketch or writing journals. In addition to a beautifully finished book, you will leave with your own illustrated step-by-step instructions so you may go home and make another for a loved one, with your paper of choice!
$25.00 materials fee included in registration fee.
