Book Projects Cont.

The Fuzz chose to sew this booklet together rather than to resort to the crudeness of staples.  The first thing was to print up a cover on a piece of His Sweetie's card stock.  Everything was folded and put into the proper order
Next he got out his sewing awl* and went to work.
INSIDE
The awl make a simple lockstitch, much like a sewing machine.
OUTSIDE

This turned out pretty well for a first attempt.  This one has only 17 pages, and is really just 1 signiture.  Next time, The Fuzz hopes to try something a little more ambitious.



*This is actually a dangerous tool.  Once while sewing some heavy leather, The Misfortunate Fuzz broke a needle.  He still has a piece of it in his finger!
