I imagine most of you have seen pictures of this handmade book on FB or IG but just in case a few have missed it, I'm posting it here.
With all the online art classes available since the pandemic, I discovered a class by Ali Manning of Vintage Page Designs. It was a week long class for making a Coptic sewn book. I loved it! I've always enjoyed making books of some sort. (I'll share the books I made for that class later)
Since the class, I joined the Ali's Handmade Book Club. Every month she shares directions for making a different book. I'm enjoying learning different book binding techniques.
This is the first book I made since joining the club. The bookbinding technique is sewn tapes as the stitches cross over the tapes. The tapes fasten to the cover through slits on the front and are glued to it on the back. End papers cover the tapes on the inside.
