Another chance to win a Handmade Sketchbook.

In fact, the responses have been so good that I decided to give everyone an extra chance to win!

Bindery Progress
Well last night I began sewing and have three book blocks completed, I wanted to take a photo but I left my camera cable at work… The style of binding for these first books is sewn onto tapes. I find linen tape to be a durable but flexible Lay flat style of binding. And from your comment you all want your books to lay flat. I’m with you there I really can’t work in spiral books anymore!
I also went and stocked up on some different colours of book cloth. More of the linen look above plus some sky blue, very very pale mint green, and a royal blue. Of course I’m stocked up on basic black and I have metres of burgundy from a previous project!
Off to pottery class tonight so I will talk to you all again tomorrow!
Ciao!
Janice
