In this comprehensive workshop, we will explore the art of creating unique fabric-covered journals using both sewn-in and perfect binding techniques. Designed for both beginners and experienced journal makers, this class will start with a refresher on these binding methods to ensure everyone is up to speed.

Our focus will then shift to fabric as we dive into making snippet rolls and fabric clusters, incorporating a variety of fabrics and decorations. You'll learn how to use these snippet rolls to inspire and create beautiful, personalized journal covers.

We'll also cover sourcing fabrics, whether visiting local fabric stores or exploring curated online kits like Slow Stitching Fabric Kits and Art Journal Fabric Kits.
