Description
Come and make a leather cover for a notebook or sketchbook. First you’ll choose from a variety of soft Italian or British leathers of different colours – brown, green, amber, natural, red and blue. Next I’ll show you how to cut and sew the leather to make a simple cover for an A5 or A6 book. I can provide you with a blank sketchbook, or please feel free to bring your own book to cover. Maximum size is A5. There should just be time to make and add a strap and press stud to hold the book cover closed. I’ll show you how to accurately cut leather, bevel and burnish edges and then sew it all together. At the end of the day you’ll walk away with a beautiful book cover to keep or gift to a loved one!
