I'm repurposing an old, falling apart, book. My intention is to make a sketchbook to take out for drawing outdoors. Now it's part way assembled I think it might be too heavy to carry far! The pages are all from recycled papers to give a variety of surfaces to work on. The cover of the book was removed and strengthened and I've just stitched the signatures together over linen tapes to try and provide a bit more strength to the whole structure. I've used French link stitch over the tapes to again provide more rigidity. But I can see that I did not allow enough width between the holes to allow for the tapes to lie flat. You learn by your mistakes!
