My book. Mine. Mine. Mine.

Well, not mine but I like it :-)

Struggled with it for about 3 hours, just for the stitching. There are no signature covers here 'cos I thought it would clash for attention so it's just plain white acid-free pages. 9 signatures with 7 folios give 252 sides.

I'll need to work on the horizontal lines. It's a good thing that this variegated thread is very bold against the white and covers so the letters are rather striking. Given my original choice of rose coloured thread, I don't think it would be as nice.

Have a blessed evening!

Book sewing fun

Decided to experiment with different stitches today. Deviated from the usual Coptic stitch. I like Coptic but I thought, with the variegated threads that I have, I'd try something new. The stitching isn't as neat as I would've liked it to be but it's a start. I think I'll try different patterns from now.

Added pagemarker charms too, to both of these (top and bottom)

Ran out of thread for the pagemarker. I think I can attach it manually though :-) 

Have a blessed day!
