You may have seen this tweet about a comic book style tutorial on making bookcloth.
Well I thought this would be just a one off project, but your response was pretty enthusing. This Image brought 5 – 10 times the amount of normal to both this site and my etsy shop. So I guess I’ll do another. I’m finishing the conclusion to the bookcloth one. After that, it’s up to you. Let me know if you have any ideas for the topic of my next comic tutorial.

I’d be very curious to see the actual binding process itself – with the threading? Forgive me if I have the wrong terminology hehe, I just think the hand sewn binding is amazing. Would that work in a tutorial??
Cool, yeah, the sewing part. I’ll do something about that. It could totally work.
