Third Soft Book

Thank you to Janet & Connie for their suggestions to use iron-on interfacings in the clothbound books. I will be on the lookout for the black version. 

Here's another book (still with Tyvek). I added some random running stitches in red (from my thrums collection!) to tie the layers together and buttonholed the edges. The outer fabric is a lampas jacquard scrap with handspun pattern weft. The handspun is from my earliest spinning days, and it is amusing to see the little corkscrew overspun bit in the upper left of the picture. Click to enlarge.

The button is another oddity from my stash.

Here's a view of the inside. The lining fabric is a twill variant. The pages are recycled from a huge box of computer paper I bought about ten years ago; the paper is white and one side and shades from pale to deep yellow on the other (what was i thinking?). 

Today I'm off to BookOpolis in Asheville. Can't wait!
