1,2&3 SEWINGS NON-ADHESIVE BOOKBINDING with Maminka the Bohemian

For experienced beginners + above:
We will be learning to create books of numerous sizes (from one to three signatures) using exposed spine sewing methods. No paste, no glue. This is sometimes referred to as ‘non-adhesive binding’ We will be using paper limp covers as opposed to bookboard, and from one to two needle techniques. We will be using a technique known as ‘continuous support sewing’. The spine of your ‘book’ is decorated by the process of sewing. Patterning can be created using traditional bookbinding/sewing stitches as well as adapting embroidery stitches. We will also pay homage to the pamphlet sewing technique.
Students should bring if possible, two needles that are conducive to thick sewing. These can be picked up at the local Dollar Store in a package called ‘Repair Needle Assortment’, or tapestry type needles. They need a fairly large eye for threading and a thicker body for piercing multiple layers of paper. Bring a notebook & pencil as well. Bring your enthusiasm!! I will supply all paper and other necessities.
