Workshop Description
Sometimes a person just needs a book to toss into their bag to have available for notes. Sometimes they want to give someone a cool gift that isn’t too precious to actually use.
This simple, sturdy structure fits the occasion and has a wide range of options for personalizing and stitching outside the lines. It’s a perfect vehicle for bringing together those fun bits of saved ephemera and for loosening up a bit between addressing more formal structures.
