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 ;) 🩵 Support My Channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sealemon 💛 Become a YT Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbxOeCBuGSsKvt4g9lEv3A/join 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/4eHye8p • 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 My Favorite Supplies on Amazon*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon 🛒 Shop Bookbinding Supplies on Etsy*: https://bit.ly/4870CNl 🛍️ My Etsy Shop*: https://bit.ly/4ci1TU7 📄 My Scrapbook Paper Shop: https://bit.ly/SeaZazzle 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 ABOUT 👋 Hello, it's Jennifer from Sea Lemon!
