I had saved my Anne Taintor calendar from last year hoping I would find a good use for it some day. They are too funny to throw away so that was going to be my covers.
For the signatures, I matched the single pages up and taped or glued strips of paper across them to make folios. Then I also added regular folios and a few more pages from the calendar to make 5 signatures each with about 4 folios. The covers were cut big enough to cover all the odd sized pages inside.
I did a spine of cotton fabric and stabilizer then worked out a sort of 50s style sewing design. Before I worked out how to actually stitch the thing, I punched all the holes in the spine. Bad idea! The first stitching part went ok but I couldn't figure out how to do the second half of the design so there were some holes leftover. Hence the opportunity for bead embellishment!
