Fabric covered notebook: Seventh and probably last iteration

Finally I am perfecting the book binding of this little notebook. The result is a nice small A6 sized 88 page notebook with a fabric cover. The paper is 80g/m² , the cover, final and first pages are reclaimed cardboard and envelopes.

Fabric covered notebook: Sixth iteration

This is the next step in notebook development. I was not happy about the layer of fabric between cover and signature block and the alignment of the signatures in general. To change the process a bit, I glued the spine instead of the long stitch used before. The fabric is sewn to the cardboard cover. The page alignment is quite good and the spine sturdy. I think I will go with this technique for the next ones. The fabric cover still needs some refinement.
