Seeing 2020: Making a Calendar at the Granada Hills Library Part II
Using an Asian-style side stab binding stitch, participants sewed their calendar pages between a front cover made of watercolor paper to allow it to bend, and thus open, and a back cover made of board, to keep the calendar pages from bending.
Once they had completed the labor of putting the pieces together, the proud makers proceeded to embellish their creations with zeal!
Teen Council members served as assistants, and participants! We were so lucky to have them.
In a digitized world, working with our hands becomes even more precious.
