I had a wonderful group of ladies come to my Vintage Arts Studio to learn how to create a Miniature Keepsake Scrapbook. Everyone brought their own assortment of fabrics to make it their "own." We all got busy creating the pages with fabric, cardstock (to make the pages more stiff), and by xyroning them together. Each of them made 5 to 6 signatures for their book.
Notice the package of ephemera that we gave to each of the girls...to get their ideas flowing for embellishing later.
My mom (Marilyn) and I both taught this workshop together. She brought over her vintage Singer sewing machine and I had my Singer ready to go ~ she and I stitched the signatures onto the binding piece as the girls completed them. 
Measuring for the inside front and inside back covers. (M&M's help...)
They each finished up their scrapbooks by covering bookboard with some of the fabrics that they brought with them and glued it to the binding piece with the signatures all sewn in place.
Checking out the finished Miniature Keepsake Scrapbooks ~ everyone seemed excited about the possibilities of embellishing the scrapbooks when they got home ~ filling them up with their own photos, memorabilia, or ephemera.
