A kettle stitch bookbinding tutorial is coming! I can’t say exactly when but probably within the next couple weeks. This time I’m trying something new - I’m adding beads to the stitching #art #illustration #bookbinding #kettlestitch #sketchbooks

No way that’s so cool! I love the design, looks like longstitch to me but they’ve added fancy stuff like the little zigzags and uneven stitching which I haven’t tried yet haha.
Reminds me of this leather sketchbook I made, it has kinda similar fastenings

We’d learnt binder stitch in earlier lectures, the kettle stitch was something we hadn’t done yet and the lecturer wanted to challenge us. I can do binder stitch though, here’s the most recent one I made
