Sketch-books 1 and 2, finished.
The wider spacing for the sewing on the orange book on the left helps stop the different layers from getting out of line, but I like the closer spacing too - I'll see if I can find another way to make it work. Also, the orange thread is actually multi-coloured, it goes through shades of orange from red to almost white, but it's hard to appreciate it when there is less thread being used.
The bands at the ends close the books, and I think they look well - but are actually a curse to glue in and get right, I mean taut enough to look good but loose enough to be able to slip on and off!
