5 out of 5 starsReally fun and rewarding kit! I love the end result. The instructions and all the supplies were great quality. I’ve never bound any book before and I had no problem following the directions.

5 out of 5 starsShipping was super fast! Full disclosure, I haven't bound my book yet, but I am so impressed with this kit. I have some very limited experience with bookbinding, and this kit includes everything I need to make a beautiful, individualized journal. Putting together a kit like this is such a fun, cute idea, and I'm excited to play with it.

About cleverhands
-
Ah...natural light. (artificial light makes my head hurt)
-
Measure once cut twice? That doesn't sound right.....
-
And cut and sew and press and turn and press and cut.....
Travel light, draw often
I think with my hands. My life is full of notes, doodles, lists, sketches, and plans. Like my father-in-law who can't talk if you hold his hands still, my thought process grinds to a halt if I can't use my hands. All my best thinking begins and ends on paper. Paper is not much help though, if I can't find a pen. Much of the time, until I made the first journal bandolier, I could NOT find a pen.

My mother, taught me to love to learn. She passed these clever hands down to me from my grandma who made more quilts than anyone could count and was as stubborn as she was short.
