Bookbinding 101

The lunch bunch had a great time at Catherine's house yesterday. We decided to make Art Journals. The group photo is when we were done for the day....although our books still need more work, we are quite proud of making it this far!





This photo is of the "signatures" of the book all sewn together. The chipboard shown is the early stages of the book covers/spine.



Close up of the binding of the signatures.







Kelley is having fun sewing her signatures together. It is quite a time when you start the sewing process. Kind of like needing 3 hands. Once you get into a groove, the process goes pretty quickly.







Catherine always looks happy when she has a needle in her hand. Wait til you see her with Chocolate ON her hand :)
