Another adventure in bookmaking with the Handmade Book Club<\/a> – the sewn board book. This is the first time I’ve sewed, pressed, glued and covered a spine. I made a lot of mistakes as usual, but I like how the book turned out. And I’m happy to say I used up the last bit of a roll of Strathmore paper<\/a> that I bought a few years ago.
