While folding the laundry this morning, I saw a hole in my husband’s work pants that needed mending. My sewing machine isn’t accessible at the moment, so I went the iron-on patching route. Found a scrap that would look OK from the outside, positioned it on a piece of interfacing, and ironed it on from the inside.
Except I had meant to use the one-sided interfacing, not the Heat-N-Bond that has a second adhesive side. Time to get creative with the inside of the patch! 😆
Delayed gratification is getting a new DSLR for the first time in over a decade, then waiting for the battery to charge before I can play with it.
This evening’s bookbinding experiment involved a technique I learned about from Four Keys Book Arts on YouTube. I see myself trying this again in the future… but maybe not with upcycled custom wall calendar pages.
Returning to my bookbinding hobby after a couple years’ hiatus. I was inspired by the packaging for a blind box figurine I picked up recently, which I thought would make SUCH a cute notebook.
And here we are!
I’ve discovered that having the right tools, working slowly and methodically, and being patient are the keys to getting a passable result with a minimum of frustration.
(Not just in bookbinding, but in Life.)
Cloudless sky, 65 degrees… This is a welcome change from the recent heat wave.
