Making sketchbooks – Sewn sketchbooks

A sewn sketchbook

These sketchbooks are slightly more complicated and take longer to make, but the result is a sketchbook which is solid yet, (if the cover is cloth) flexible – perfect for carrying around. It may not be practical to make these with a whole class (young children will certainly not be able to sew the pages) but teachers might like to make their own sketchbooks like this, and more able, older children.

If you have any examples of sketchbooks made this way please email them here.

Fabulous site with plenty of ideas to excite the imagination and creativity of our children. We are having a staff development on making the elastic band sketch books which we shall put into practice in September of this year. The children will have access to their elastic band book in the morning on arrival to school as part of the activities they are engaged in before registration
