Scrapbooking Techniques Workshop!

Handmade Scrapbook + Scrapbooking Techniques Workshop!

* Learn how to make your own scrap book from scratch using brown paper, a cover, mt tape, staple bound and bookbinding tape!

* Learn how to create original labels to use in the scrapbook pages and cover. I will bring all of my stamps to the workshop so that we can all use them. Let's create own own original labels which we can colour photocopy and use as many times as we like!

* I would like to demonstrate some scrap booking mini pocket making techniques such as using an old envelope to trim it and stick it into a scrapbook as a little cute pocket. Let's discover ways that household items and everyday paper items can be used in our scrapbooks by turning them into something cute!

My First Snowman!

Sandwiches!!! I made my first snowman! I had no idea they were so hard to make. My hands were so cold that they started to get hot and tingly!

I made her on my balcony. She has a top knot like me.
I hope my neighbours don't mind (>_<).

I decided to round her off the sides a little.

Then Dawn Tan suggested polka dots, so I braved the cold to do this...



Love Sandwich.

Snow in Shimokita!

Sandwiches!!! It's snowing right now in Shimokitazawa! I am so so so excited!

I went out and took these pics before it melted but it looks like the snow is not going anywhere in a hurry so I'll head back out a bit later!

wa!

P.S. This is my snow proofing technique. Teamed with an umbrella stuck in my belt it proved reasonably handy!





Here is a little Snowy Day mixtape I made! Please enjoy it!

Handmade Fabric Book Cover Workshop

Hello Sandwiches!

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

If you're in Tokyo on March 5th I hope you can come along to my Handmade Fabric Book Cover Workshop at Shibaura House.

Here are the details from the Shibaura House website:

Hello Sandwichさんによるワークショップ。季節に応じたテーマでかわいいものをつくります。第5回は、ファブリックブックカバーです。
以下は、Sandwichさんからのメッセージ。

今回のワークショップでは、布製のブックカバーを手縫いで作ります。好きな本を持ってきて、そのサイズに合わせてフェルトの裏地付きのカバーを作りましょう。持ってきていただくのは、小説でもノートでもかまいません。もしも小さなノートカバーを作ったら、いつでもハンドバッグに入れて持ち運べますね。もちろんデコレーションも忘れずに。ボタンやリボン、トリム、ポンポンなど、さまざまな素材を用意しますので、心ゆくまで楽しみましょう。このクラスで学んだ知識があれば、おうちに帰って違う本のカバーをつくることも、お友だちにプレゼントすることもできます。フォトアルバムのカバーだって作れます。SHIBAURA HOUSEで開催する、今年初めてのワークショップです。皆さんに会えるのを楽しみにしています！ -ハロー・サンドイッチ。

In this workshop you will make your very own hand stitched fabric book cover to fit any size book of your choice. Please bring along the book you would like to cover and you will learn how to make a felt lined book cover to your custom size. The book could be a novel or a simple notebook. If you would like to make a cute mini size notebook cover you could carry it in your handbag at all times. After we make the book cover base, you can enjoy decorating your book cover with assorted buttons, ribbons, trims and pompoms till’ your hearts contend. Using the skills and techniques learnt in this class you can continue to make covers for other books at your home. Wouldn’t it also be cute to make a cute cover for your friend! You could even cover a mini photo album with these handmade book covers.
