Quick & Dirty Binding
I've had my eye on some leather folders, but I'm currently between jobs and hate seeing plastic binders during court. So I did some quick and dirty limp binding with some scrap linen for my baronial ceremonial. 100% handsewn linen with matching green poly thread. If I'd had the confidence and time to do a test scrap, I would have tried to stiffen it with gum Arabic. Knowing myself, I need to be able to wash it at least once in a blue moon so didn't want to glue to cardboard. It was a touch too small, so I had to trim the edges and laughed at the hack job, reminding myself this is why I'm not a bookbinder.
