Pamphlet in a Blanket

Paulette Rosen

Make a book where several folios (sheets of paper folded once in the middle) are hinged to each other and then joined with just one sewing. The result is a pamphlet variation, a thin book with every other page continuous across the fold. After practicing to make a folded origami-inspired cover with pockets, designed by expert binder Hedi Kyle, the final cover will be made out of your own choice of fabric with a special coating. Opening flat with a wraparound cover, this compact book is especially suitable for a sketchbook, artist book or travel journal.
