Default I bound my first Book - Devere's Tailoring Method 1866

I purchased scans of this book to begin tailoring Victorian clothes for our shows.

I did so reformatting, printed it booklet double-sided

Then followed an "Instructables" on home book binding, worked like a charm!

This was meant to be a learning practice piece, so I did not remove the BS copyright info from the seller.

My next copy will be better.

BTW I used our 241-12 to sew each of the seven 8 page sections down the center. They went through like butter...

Then wood glue and fabric.

The cover is a card stock covered in fabric, the inner plates are an art paper from JoAnns's
