This bind design sketch started out quite differently, but I couldn’t get the logistics to work right so it morphed into this one. It continues my exploration of circles in this medium. So not what I was hoping for, but not bad either. Those three holes at the bottom right of each semi-circle have to be extremely large to accommodate all the threads coming in and out of it! This bind has 36 holes, probably intermediate level. Distance from spine is 1 3/8″ or 3.4cm.

Love your work! I teach Japanese stab binding and tell people to visit your site if they want more complex designs.
Thanks, Emily!
Oh! Becca, please, can we have the tutorial for this pattern or for the Japanese stab binding #45 & 46 : memories and souvenirs ?
I visit your site since a while, i learn jap stab binding thanks to you.
Love your work ! Looking forward to this, from France :)
Thanks Cynthea! The memories and souvenir patterns will be released for sure, but I’m not certain when. It might be a while longer for taco shells. :)
Hi! Could you please create a tutorial for the taco shells? I’m so inspired by your bookbindings but I’m not ready to create my own from scratch yet
Hey Sarah,
I might one day, but at the moment I’m a little too overwhelmed by life. Look through the blog though, there are quite a few other tutorials to try that might help you in understanding the style so you can create your own.
