I wasn't sure where to put this post. I want to start making blank books for the kids to fill out. I saw a blog post once with directions on how to sew the pages together...of course, now I can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Here is one method for making books. These are pretty simple. DD(7) just made a few for her cousins for Bday gifts.


5 stich bookbinding

I do know another method, I will try to find my links for directions. I have used it to make logbooks. It is a little more challenging, but you can actually sew the magazines of paper together with thread. The first method requires you to punch the paper before stitching the book up. I use a leather punch for mine.

ETA I found a good picture tutorial.
Bookmaking

I have made books like this one, although I don't use cloth to bind the book, and I have only used paper as the inside cover.

If you decide you're not up to making your own yet, you might look into Bare Books.
