Happy Spring! I've been trying various kinds of commercial book cloth and I'm loving it. In this video, I use the half binding method for the covers by combining both book cloth and chiyogami. Even though there are a lot of pieces (AKA plenty of measuring and cutting), putting them together feels like I'm completing a puzzle. I look forward to making more half bound books!

    I missed making these quiet bookbinding videos 🥲 I recently shifted my Patreon benefits so that I'm committed to making these at least once a month. Patrons at the Book Buddies tier receive a voiceover version of this video, where I talk through my process and decision-making. I'm excited to continue documenting my bookbinding process and growing my video skills! Thank you patrons for making this possible, and for your encouragement to make these videos again.

    Hi I watched one of your previous videos where you attempted some simple case bindings and I made the following comments. Mmmm, I am pleased you enjoy your hobby. To take it seriously you could do with some more equipment - just the basics like a sewing frame, perhaps a laying press - just the basics you know. Also just one little tip when folding your cloth over the board always fold and paste the head and tail first this prevents the bulge from the 'tuck in' unbalancing the book and reduces wear on that part at the tail of the book when moved on and off a shelf. You could do with some tips when carrying out your final pressing - quite a lot of faults in your process. If you are interested please get in touch and I can offer some really simple tips to hugely improve your process. All the very best. I realise some of the points I have made might be a little uncomfortable to hear but I can certainly help your methods and hugely improve your standards if you are interested??

    Nice casing in technique, looks the opposite of the “standard” technique, but looks more precise! Ideal for anyone who’s using straight PVA as casing in adhesive. As always, thank you for your hard work :)

I’ve really been struggling to motivate my self to make books but I have such low energy I’m finding it difficult to apply myself and commit to making books. You’ve taught me to do other things like plan and discover new methods of binding & techniques, and get out and walk more 😊 You’ve come so far in your journey, your really inspiring me. I’m getting there and you’ve become part of my journey with your blog & channel. Thank you Chanel 📒🙏🏻📚

    I love the contrast between the matte colour of. the spine and the colourful splash of the bookcloth covers, what a great idea! May I ask what type of paper you're using for the spine? Is it some sort of canvas/linen bookcloth or textured cardstock? It reminds me of the first hardback editions of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket that I grew up reading.
