The first group of the day, busily punching holes for sewing.
This Saturday 18 participants in two separate classes joined me for a session of Pamphlet Stitch binding at the Falmouth Public Library – these classes were free of charge, made possible by a grant from the Massachusetts Local Cultural Council and additional support by the Library Trustees.
Everyone did really well and seemed to have a great time – hopefully there will be some more classes at the library soon – if you’d like to be kept updated about my latest classes, simply enter your email on the right over there where it says “Ruth’s Newsletter”.
Some helpful links for the class:
Waxed Linen Thread
Bone Folders and Awls
Decorative Papers
If you make your own books at home, email them to me Ruth (AT) RuthBleakley (DOT) Com – and I’ll put them up on my blog!
Stitching through pre-punched holes using waxed Irish Linen Thread
Some of the covers were made from nautical charts and sheet music!
trimming the uneven edges using a straight edge and mat knife
Lots of confetti after everyone was finished trimming their books
Using the corner rounder for a nice finishing touch
