Recent reviews of Soul Stitch Social: Journal Making Class

  • 5/5 from Ej Al, attended Oct 2026: Eury was an amazing teacher. She was so engaging and helpful showing us wach step. The journal making class was such a great experience. My favorite part ofbthe clas was seeing how the colors turned out on my journal. I felt like a kid seeing magic. I would do it again.
  • 5/5 from Laniece Allen, attended Oct 2026: The Soul Stitch Social: Journal Making Class with Eury was wonderful! She was extremely welcoming, informative and helpful. The backstory on how she got into leatherwork was absolutely beautiful. I love my personalized journal! I recommend this class 1000 times over!!
  • 5/5 from Dana Denis, attended Oct 2026: The instructor who is also the owner is phenomenal. Honestly, I didn’t know what to except as this was my first leather craft class. Everyone was nice including the other guests. The instructor took her time to explain each step and help me along the way. I surprised myself at how nicely my journal turned out. I would definitely return and recommend taking a Eury Luxe class. Even better, they make bags too. I plan to buy my mom a custom bag for Christmas.
  • 5/5 from Lorne Dannenbaum, attended Oct 2026: Making a journal cover has never been so good. You’ll get all the materials you need, some great snacks (practically a small meal) and at the end you get a journal cover that looks like nobody else’s. A lot of fun, too. My wife and I had a great time.
