Italian Long Stitch

Monday was the first of a new round of classes with Kathy Steinsberger.  The Italian long stitch is the first of several structures that Kathy will cover.  We made limp leather journals, as you can see above.  I finished stitching this one at home and am pleased with the outcome.  We will finish up Monday by adding a closure for the fore edge flap.

I enjoyed making this structure, so I made another -- a purse-size travel journal for Edith to take to Spain.  I built in a few little pockets so she can carry some blank paper for writing notes, as well as having a place for receipts and mementos. (See below.)  I'm working on another book that I think will use this binding.  This one will be a bit more artsy than a simple blank book.  Stay tuned for more information.
