Book-binding

I'm gonna spend the next few days making a book/journal for my cousin, as promised since dunno when..haha..last yr I think..Oops.
Learnt book-binding in jc art lessons and since then, I've made 3 books...
I dislike the sewing part...super dislike it ..haha..because I never understand the correct method to sew..and I always end up inventing my own method of sewing the book..which looks like an entangled mess of thread as the end product...luckily, there's the book spine to cover all that "丑陋的一面"...haha;)
So, this is gonna be the thickest book which I'm gonna sew..abt 2 cm thick...=( haha, but I'm not complaining...这样一来,如果成功,成就感就越大!and it's good training...I shall try to experiment with the right way to sew....though I doubt I will succeed...
