📖🪡 Workshop: Bookbinding—Photo Album with a Sashiko Cover

Anyone can pile up phone photos in their memory—but how about a really nice, handmade photo album for your favorite snapshots, vacation memories, or collections of clippings? 📸✂️

In this workshop, you’ll combine two beautiful techniques:

1. Bookbinding: You’ll learn, step by step, how to turn individual sheets of paper into a sturdy, long-lasting photo album.

2. The Sashiko technique: You’ll use the traditional Japanese embroidery art of Sashiko to add a really cool, geometric pattern to your album’s fabric cover. 🧵✨

Whether as a personal gift or a treasure chest for yourself—you’re guaranteed to go home with a truly one-of-a-kind creation.
