Episode 102: Cloth for Books

I know in Episode 101 I said I was going to talk about how I think I make covers for the books I have sewn and glued together but in the short space between that episode and now I ran across a street fair full of artists, beer salesmen, zakka goodies, and antique dealers selling their wares. Naturally, I had to look at the older women (and, yes, they were all older women) selling cloth.
And I was seduced into buy some. Here are two photos of the bundles of pieces of cloth I was suckered into purchasing. Fortunately for not much cash because the women couldn't guarantee how big the pieces of cloth were. For the most part, I can make A6-sized books with a lot of the cloth and use some of the narrower scraps for the spine in other books.
Now, of course, I'm totally in trouble because now, of course, I have to start backing these bits of cloth with paper to make them all usable for book cloth and then I have to make books that fit. And this after I told myself not to buy anymore book cloth until I have used up all I have now. I never listen to me.
Next week: The Cover (maybe).
