Chain stitch workshop with closure / with pockets

Really enjoyed these two half-day workshops with Amanda. She brought beautiful papers and tools to work with, and everything was so well organised and clearly explained. A great atmosphere in the class - everyone was friendly and relaxed. Would recommend to anyone who'd like to try bookbinding or to brush up their skills, Amanda is a wonderful instructor.

Happy Days!

I attended two bookbinding workshops with Amanda, one book with a tab closure and the other with pockets inside the front and back covers, both books finished with chain stitch. I was delighted with the finished items and found Amanda to be a clear and patient teacher, giving us all the confidence to finish our books to a high standard. I am looking forward to doing more workshops with her and learning some new skills.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience at our bookbinding workshops. The chain stitch binding is lovely and there's lots of versatility with the cover design. The papers you chose for your covers are just lovely! Thanks again for your support, and we can't wait to have you back at our workshops!

I recently attended 2 half day bookbinding workshops with Amanda from Squushed and it exceeded all my expectations. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the craft, which made it a great class.
The materials provided were of high quality, and the step-by-step guidance ensured that even beginners like myself could create beautiful, handmade books.
By the end of the workshops, I walked away with a sense of accomplishment and a newfound love for bookbinding and my 2 new books🥰❤️
These workshops are perfect for anyone interested in learning a new skill or diving deeper into the art of bookbinding. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted you had a fun day, we did too. We love the process of making books, from choosing the decorative paper, to sewing the pages. It's such a wonderful craft, and it's great to see the gorgeous creations people come away with. Your pieces are just lovely! ❤️
