Creating Decorative Covers with a Cricut:

Bind your own copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In this class, we’ll create the textblock by sewing signatures and craft a clothbound cover decorated with heat transfer vinyl (HTV) using a Cricut. This class is suitable for beginners and will cover things like grain direction, sewing, tipping on endpapers, and casing in a texblock in addition to working with the Cricut

Note: All students will be using the same text during this workshop, but will walk away with the knowledge and skills to create their own customized book for their next project.

Students may bring their own Cricut machine to class, but this is completely optional.
