quiet studio - ep.14: twenty sketchbooks for summer

welcome to this week bookbinding vlog where i made twenty new sketchbooks to restock my shop for the summer using kettle stitch binding, Arches 100% cotton watercolor paper and pretty Japanese print covers. the process is quite meditative. i hope it brings you moment of calmness and/or focus you need.
there is a short section (16:06) detailing the sewing process as some of you have asked. it should be clear enough but please let me know if you have questions/need further help, i’ll be happy to answer! 😊
thanks so much for spending the time.

Ужасное качества блакнотов, края листов оторванны под линейку, из-за этого листы не ровные, неужели для этого нельзя приобрести резак для бумаги, у вас и обложка меньше самих листов, потому что выбранны неудачные размер листов, я бы такой блокнот не купила😏
