Long and Link Stitch Binding Inspired by a Medieval Book Part 2 Sewing

In this series of videos I will demonstrate making a long and link stitch binding inspired by a 14th century limp vellum binding held at the Bodleian in Oxford. In the first video I will prepare the cover and the sections. The second will show sewing the text. The third and final video will show the weaving on the long stitch sewing and attaching the string for the closure. This is meant to be a modern book inspired by a medieval book. I have used modern materials, tools and techniques. It is not meant to be a model of an historic book.
