If camping were a book, it would be a long- and link-stitch leather journal. It’s rustic, with its soft leather covers and exposed stitching, and as a non-adhesive binding, it is the embodiment of how things can be made and held together with nothing more than smart engineering, thread, and tension. Its soft cover allows it to be tossed in a backpack, cradled in your lap as you sit under a tree, or snugged into a sleeping bag for late-night journaling. Plus, it’s cute as a button.
What’s even more? The long- and link-stitch leather journal is a joy to make. Laura Capp, proprietor of Postscript and class instructor, knows because she’s been making them for about fifteen years, and she hasn’t gotten tired of them yet. So join her in sewing up one of these trusty companions for your summer! You’ll get to choose the color of your leather and thread, and you’ll go home with instructions for how to repeat the process as well as how to create different closures and add decorative touches to make it even more special. Supplies are included in the cost of registration.
