DIY Text Block | Case Bookbinding Tutorial | Sea Lemon

UPDATE: Need help with the stitching part? I have a NEW tutorial with close-ups of the binding process! Watch here: https://youtu.be/9O4kFTOEh6k In this tutorial, I ll show you how to sew and glue a text block for case binding your own book. I ll also include how to add a ribbon bookmark in the process. This video focuses on just the text block for case binding method itself. I m self-taught and came up with my own variation of binding. It s a combo of saddle, link and coptic stitching. If you re familiar with coptic stitching, this should be easy for you ;) 0:00 Intro 1:26 Sewing 6:20 Glue spine 6:49 Bookmark 6:59 End pages 9:08 Trim edge SUPPORT & SUBSCRIBE • Patreon Rewards: http://bit.ly/SLPatron • Membership Perks: http://bit.ly/SLSpo • Main Channel: http://bit.ly/SLDIY • Vlog Channel: http://bit.ly/SLVlog SUPPLIES • 40 sheets of 8.5x11" paper*: https://amzn.to/2LDAs98 • 1 sheet of 5x8" paper • 2 thick sheets of 8.5x11" paper*: https://amzn.to/2J9pyJP • Thread*: https://amzn.to/2kvjnle • Ribbon* (no wider than 3/8"): https://amzn.to/2L36zh3 • PVA glue*: https://amzn.to/2IRbRzL • Pencil • Rulers: http://bit.ly/MyRulers • Cutting mat*: https://amzn.to/2I4fhPn • Bone folder*: https://amzn.to/2rxiSv3 • Awl*: https://amzn.to/2rx5l6v • Sewing needle*: https://amzn.to/2I7fv8t • Glue brush*: https://amzn.to/2IrGNpm • Sandpaper or nail file • Utility blade*: http://amzn.to/2G8iUlB • Scissors*: https://amzn.to/2IpB7w5 • Book press: http://bit.ly/PressTips Shop All My Favorite Supplies on Amazon*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon Deals in Arts, Crafts, and Sewing on Amazon*: http://amzn.to/2pqiihF Deals in Art Supplies on Blick*: http://bit.ly/3Ts6I0g RELATED VIDEOS • Updated Text Block Stitching Tutorial: https://youtu.be/9O4kFTOEh6k • Bookbinding Supplies Playlist: http://bit.ly/BindingTips • Bookbinding Methods Playlist: http://bit.ly/BindingMethods • DIY Book Projects Playlist: http://bit.ly/BookProjects SHOP MY PRINTS, STICKERS & MORE Etsy*: https://tidd.ly/3gLXZIP Monthly Mail: http://bit.ly/SLPatron My Patterned Paper & More*: https://bit.ly/SeaZazzle Amazon*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon Kona s Wish List: https://amzn.to/3UIF2FE SOCIAL Instagram: https://instagram.com/sealemon TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heysealemon Facebook: https://facebook.com/sealemon Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/sealemon MAIL Sea Lemon PO Box 1333 Scottsdale, AZ 85252 USA MUSIC CREDITS "Forever Believe" by Jason Shaw "The Great" by Broke For Free http://bit.ly/YV0NlC "Rio" by 1000 Names http://bit.ly/ZWh1h9 DISCLAIMERS Links above marked with (*) are affiliate links, which means I may earn revenue or credits (at no extra cost to you) via those affiliated sites.
