Suede & Leather - Book No 0015
Another experiment here. I cut 3 strips of soft red suede, and wove them through slits cut in plain leather cover. I then long stitched the signatures into the covers, as per Keith Smiths "Long Stitch through Slotted Wrapper Cover" (Vol I, pg 141). Not entirely successful sewing, I need more sizes of threads. The thread I used was too thin, I think, as I couldn't line it up very well on the spine. No matter, it feels great now it's finished.

It looks great! So glad to see you posting more of your great bookbinding and papermaking experiments!
(I'm still mulling over what I will make for you for the PIF giveaway you signed up for on my blog -- you raise the bar, sir!)
Thanks Lisa, and I'm still mulling too, on what I should do!
