Book keeping again!

A Junior Mission Praise from a Weymouth school was greatly in need of some TLC, esp once I had stripped off all the parcel tape to see what I was working with ...

here is the heavy book put back together, and the spine supported externally with some blue fabric, left over from the cover ..

And here is the repaired and covered book, ready for the new term, we hope it lives for a long time now! The commissioner wanted Holy-Spirit Blue, with a bit of sparkle, so I used some silver and blue glitter-print fabric for the spine...

Book ...

This poor book was in need of some TLC, and is very well used as well as being a gift ...  I got the job of giving it a makeover, the spine of the book is already long gone!

So I used thick, stiff card to make a new spine and carefully sandwiched it between fabric hinges ...

finally I sewed the cover, using a little bit of fun, musical fabric and a lot of plain black, so the book can still look smart, esp if used at weddings and funerals ...
