Sewn Notebook (Stage 2)

After nearly three months in the press, I’ve returned to the sewn notebook, and it’s time to sew the sections together.

I used kettle stitches with waxed thread. In retrospect, thinner thread would have been preferable, but the instructions in the bookbinding book were clear and straightforward throughout. I can see I need more practice to achieve tighter tension in my sewing, but it’s coming along.

After completion, the sewn sections went back into the press overnight ready for the next stage.
