In my quest to try new techniques, I was lucky to find that a 'skills sharing day' had been programmed into Textilia 3's season of meetings. Jo Valentine showed us how to make little fabric books using the coptic binding method. It's a bit fiddly to start with but once you get the idea it's very satisfying and an interesting variation on chain stitch.
This simple book has just five signatures with single pages. I've finished it off by joining the pages together to strengthen them and I've made it into a needle case with all my needles carefully arranged and labelled.
