RheingoldRiver<p>Last week in bookbinding class we learned how to cut &amp; glue for this design, but not how to stitch, so I watched a YT vid to learn the stitch and made a practice book at home. The cover is bent more than I&#39;d like and wow the holes are too close together in the spine and some...disintegrated into each other....but I think I did okay for my first book with a spine!!</p>

RheingoldRiver<p>Made another book today, but I think I should have given more consideration to the placement of my cut, the birds are uncomfortably beheaded now...it&#39;s ok that&#39;s why I&#39;m practicing lol</p>
