BOOKBINDING

I've done bookbinding before so this was more of a refresher for me.
I love how passionate and enthusiastic Suzie is about bookbinding, it's really inspiring.
There are loads of different binds and techniques I'd like to try. Suzie brought some examples in for us to have a look at which was great, so we could have a touch and see how they work.

I found cutting the paper with a knife difficult because I'm weak, my wrists were hurting and my arms  were shaking the whole time. I need to get stronger!!!

Because this was a twilight session it was after uni and we were there really late. I CAN'T WORK AT THIS TIME. I get so tired and I didn't get home or eat my tea until after 9pm... I was knackered and stressed and strained and just in a bad state, all because of a late session.
Anyway, I survived.
Just.

I'd love to make a proper hardback book for 505 but I'm not sure how I'd do that - would I have to reprint the whole book or just cover an existing copy?
I'll speak to Suzie about it,
