A.R.T, Adventures in Bookbinding Lesson 3

For Lesson 3 we created another Xbook, but this time we did the variation with pockets.  I still have to come up with the appropriate content for this one but here is the structure.



The pocket is about 1.5".



I used scraps of my cover stock and a complimentary paper for the tag inserts.

The next structure is called the "Pants" book.  It is made from a single sheet of paper but unlike the Xbook, the fold is cut for three of the four sections.


This makes a longer book.  For a variation, you can sew a signature into the centre fold of the book.  I haven't done that yet but I'm thinking about it.
