The paper is folded in half so that you have something to sew through. For this binding you do need a fold. If you can’t find paper which is twice 8 x 11 in size then you might have to try a different style of binding such as Japanese Stab binding maybe. You can do this kind of binding using thin ribbon which is pretty.

I have made photo albums by folding over just half an inch and sewing through that (when I needed a particular size and couldn’t get paper twice the size I wanted) but the folded section does show when you open the book and it does mean that the spine side of the book is twice as thick as the opposite, opening side of the pages. This doesn’t matter when you are going to stick actual photographs into an album as the photographs even out the thickness differential. If you see what I mean.

Sorry if this sounds complicated but I it’s hard to explain! Good luck with your wedding book!

I have been looking for a demo and beautiful book like this. I love it. Do you think it is possible to make this book without folding the pages. I want to make a standard 8 by 11 kraft paper. I plan on making a a love story wedding book. Thanks again. I am so glad I finally found this.

Your books are gorgeous!! I love them. Have you got your Etsy shop up and running yet? All of my books are currently case bound and I handpaint the calico covers or stitch them with felt. It is time consuming and a lot of energy goes in, but I love them. Hehe. More often than not, my house often resembles a book binding factory. Do you have a studio area? Any tips on where to source good quality cartridge paper?
Apologies for all the questions. I am just so excited to have finally found your work and your blog!

I have been searching for co-book binder’s blogs for what seems like ages. Am very excited to have found yours and am now off for a proper expedition into your world and work. I am certain I’ll be back very soon too. Much love to Dorset from an Isle of Wight Book Maker! x
