Long Stitch Sketchbook
Pages made from 240gsm multimedia paper which I plan to use for a collage project. I chose to cut the pages 20cm x 40cm to give square pages so had quite a bit of calculating to do! Lots of learning points for me. Improvised with thicker greyboard as I didn't have any 1mm to hand so the covers are extra chunky. Indian paper - quite thick and textured -for the cover material - ink transferred from the board edging during sewing. Altough I pulled the linen thread tightly, I should have pulled even harder. I increased the spine width for the extra stations needed for additional signatures but an extra couple of mm would have been even better. Scrap of Peregrina Majestic used for the pocket - slightly smaller than the width of the book due to using up an off-cut. Pleased with the colour combos in the end - magenta, navy blue and gold.
