Welcome to my first bookbinding project!
Background:
My best friend is pregnant, and I got it into my head that I wanted to get her a baby book. This presented several issues: 1. I wanted it to be calendar style, more like a journal of dates as opposed to a traditional milestone book, and 2. I wanted it to span five years of the child's life, because milestones don't stop after the child exits toddler-hood. So, naturally, I had to make it myself.
Designing the pages was easy enough with the help of Google Sheets. However, I went into this with absolutely no knowledge of how to accomplish it, so I ended up with a sheaf of loose-leaf paper to bind. According to my research, I had two options, and I settled on doing a double fan bind.
Here's the result:

The cloth spine could have been tighter, but you live and learn.
While that was drying, I called upon my intrepid leatherworking venture for the cover:
Tumblr media
Don't tell her, but I'd never done a buckle before this. 😂
Next came actually attaching the pages to the binding, and when I couldn't find a tutorial for what I wanted...
Tumblr media
...I settled on gluing construction paper to the pages and then gluing THAT to the leather.
Tumblr media
The right pages are in color because after I finished printing them I ran out of colored ink! I think it's cute, though. 😅🤷‍♀️
Tumblr media
The hole for the buckle gave me fits, and it's a little effed up, but it accomplishes its purpose.
Tumblr media
I stitched her initials into the belt because I needed to affix it to the cover and I'm extra as hell.
Tumblr media
And then, to complete this intrepid, homosexual audacity-fueled venture, I adapted my fanfiction logo into a bindery logo and ordered stickers from Canva.
Tumblr media
Once the bun is out of the oven, I will decorate it with their name. For now it is only marred by a minor glue mess up. 😂
And there you have it! Mistakes were made, but I learned a lot and have no regrets! I hope she loves it. 🥰

My best friend had her first child on father’s day, a son. I made this children’s book for him. I have always wanted to make a children’s book, so this was a good reason.
I gave this to the mother during the baby shower. I also made a baby cape/blanket, which I gave after child was born.
My mother was the editor for this project, which I am very grateful for.
The lines were done traditionally using pencil and the colouring was done digitally. The book is fantastic quality and has cardboard pages, so it’s more durable.

I’ve been planning for the possibility that I might have children someday. I had most of these books as a teenager but they got lost… So I bought them online for the future!
Time to study!😊
(Also, I really despise the fact that some people might think I can’t be a parent just because I’m autistic. I’ll explain: It depends on the whole person, not just a single label)

Board Book Review: S is for Snow
S is for Snowby Ashley Marie Mireles (Goodreads Author) 5 out of 5 stars This board book is a really fun way to celebrate winter and learn your ABCs! I is for icicle, and F is for figure skating. Z is for zero degrees! P is for polar bear, and M is for mittens. I had to look up “Y is for yukigassen”, and I learned that yukigassen in a Japanese snowball-fighting competition. Even the adults can…
