The Crown Bind // Bookbinding Basics #23. The crown binding is an interesting one in that, more so than anything, it gave me a bunch of ideas for ways I could use that spine build. I'll have to play with and see what I can come up with as I think it's not really a practical book bind the way it is.

Unethical to remake cover for 1931 edition of Tess of the D'urbervilles?
I got Tess of D'urbervilles 1931 edition from a old book shop, its cover is in 2 pieces and its lower side is bleached, the spine is also further breaking away. I want to remake its cover and in a hastey decision peeled off the detached front covers book cloth, which i severely regret. I have a few questions please help me i feel regretful Q1. Should i remake a replica of its existing cover or make a cover of my choice? Q2. Is it unethical or wrong to remake covers of old books?

Any tips for designing interesting long stitch patterns
I have been binding long stitch journals for quite a while, and would like to play with interesting geometric patterns, but I'm not sure how to start. I see all of these beautiful books with diamond patterns and whatnot along the spines, and different colors being used, and I want to play!
Is there a special technique for this?
