caterpillar stitch

I took another class at the San Francisco Center for the Book last night.  It's a two part class so I take the last one next week.  We learned the caterpillar stitch.  It's a very interesting and decorative type of stitch.  Here are my pictures:

The spine...

The brown thread was doubled.  I think I like that look compared to the single thread of the purple one.

my december crafting

It's been a little while since I posted but I did do a lot of crafting in December.  I didn't have time then to post about it but I do now so here goes...

My friend commissioned me to make some zippered pouches for her xmas gifts so I made them w/ brown nylon and colored zippers.

I also made quick little tags with a "j" stamp I bought at Paper Source.

For my annual cousin exchange I made journals/mini notebooks and also personalized them.

I hope everyone's holidays went well and I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year.  I can't believe the end of January will be next week! How time flies!

cord binding

I took another exposed book binding class with one of my cousins.  This time it was with hemp cord on the spine and through the cover.  I took the class at  The San Francisco Center for the Book. Here are my pictures:
