Binding my book

After creating my covers and printing and cutting my pages I decided to perfect bind my book. This is a more traditional binding method and I felt this would work best with my book even though it is small. I found the binding okay to do however when I went to put my cover on I realised I had made a mistake as I had not placed my design on the screen well which meant the pattern would not sit centrally on the cover. I decided to go ahead with putting the cover on anyway as I really liked how they printed and felt that Coralie would appreciate a more handmade feel as it would look more professional and one of a kind. Once I finished creating the books I took a photograph and emailed Coralie. She had liked my design Instagram posts of me making the book and I wanted to ask her if I could send her a copy.
