     You might laugh but the idea for this book came to me in a dream. I thought about wanting to make a black notebook with a red spine and white binding with this inside panel. It was from an old calendar. I love making these books but one thing I always find tricky is how much space to give each signature. I wanted eight but had to do six. Still, I love how it turned out.

     The inside is from an old calendar from Paper Source but the outiside is simply book cloth. On the list of links on my thread, I made a new cover for my e reader that was made from some extra fabric from a dress my wife had made in India. When I am on my computer, I'll post a link!

     I have a pile of fabric waiting to be made into some covers (rubs hands together)...

     @seanbala That's lovely! Is the cover repurposed from another book?
