Create a gorgeous personalised journal in this relaxing bookbinding class in Sydney.
Never tried bookbinding before? No worries! This class is suitable for beginners and you're guaranteed to surprise yourself with what you can create with your hands.
During this class, beautiful decorative stitching will be sewn onto beautiful pieces of leather, creating a personal 'long stitch and link stitch' journal, which is great for drawing or writing.
At the end of the class, you will have made a gorgeous full leather journal, lined in decorative paper and sewn with a decorative stitch, to use at home or gift to a special someone.
