Flexible French Stitch! Fabric is flexible so the binding structure you use for fabric books should be flexible, too. The French stitch binding works great for multiple signature fabric books.

These are my Aqua Lab books that are made out of linen with photo transfers and earth pigment.

And, it’s a book! Still need to add covers, labels and do some stitching on the pages, so not finished. But, I like how quickly raw materials can become a thing with just a little thread.

The French Stitch works really well for binding fabric since it’s a fairly gentle binding.

Getting ready to bind Aqua Lab, no. 55b (Seven More Lakes)

I’m making them out of order but they represent the lakes and oceans and sea pool adventures I’ve been on - sampler books of the underwater colors I’ve captured whilst on my open water swims.
