About this item
This mini notebook has been created using traditional bookbinding methods. I have left the spine exposed, as I think it a shame to hide this particularly attractive feature. Rather than using traditional linen tape, I have used a piece of ribbon salvaged from a pair of old ballet shoes and pink waxed linen thread. The book covers are made with book board covered in scraps of vintage embroidered cloth and can be secured with a twist of linen thread wound around a vintage laundry button. Measurements: height 6.5cm, width 6.5 cm and depth 2 cm The book contains 120 pages: 10 signatures or 60 folios (folded pages), of assorted recycled and scavenged papers. The book will be sent via 1st class mail. International shipping is via standard airmail.

I have a shamefully large stash of vintage embroidered table cloths. It's a habit that picked up whilst a student. So over the last couple of years I have had a bit of a cull; selecting pieces of fabric that really are past their best, and chopping out the bits that are still rather lovely, to make books
