japanese stitch binding

if u read my blog (okay perasan.. u have no readers at all), i have posted about my wedding guestbook at this post.. i only done on the first stage which is wrapping the hardcover... and it takes almost a month to take a mood to stitch the book. and today, i'm done on it alhamdulillah. tapi tak lah sekemas mana..

i bought benang kait brand minlon aritu. and jarum jahit kain, tapi lubang dia a little bit besar. bila nak jahit, oh myyy benang itu berbulu and susahnye laaaa nak masuk cucuk jarum aih.. i was frustrated.. about few weeks lah jugak terperamm je buku tu..

last weekend i went to daiso and bought this!!!

cotton lace yarn dan jarum pelabagi saiz. rm5 each. tak tau lah murah ke tak.. tapi semangat dah datang.. come here semangat...

maka harini i pun stitch lah as a therapy sebab mood tiba2 tak berapa baik.. hoh sampai jarum patah dibuatnye.. why?? because i didnt use proper tools.. kalau ade tools macam dalam video ni mesti tak lah susah sangat sampai jarum patah. it's quite hard sebab i tak guna jarum yang betul maybe. dan tenaga kudrat yang lemah.. ecehhh

lain kali jangan jahit memalam buta, jarum pun patah. lol

after few tries maka terhasillah wedding guestbook yang 100% DIY.. yeeehaaa.. tapi kat belakang buku tu stitch dah serabut sebab proceed stitching dengan jarum yang tinggal separuh. guna jarum baru pun patah jugak...

and here is the outcome!!!!

buku pun boleh dibuka dengan senang jika menggunakan teknik yang betul masa cover the book. and alhamdulillah... lepas ni cari barang untuk hias dulang hantaran pulak.. hoi!! lagi sebulan je hoiii

oh, haritu i tengok saffiyya tv9. little syam really inspired me.. handmade books dia semua cantik2.. and the bind it by stitching. awesome huh.. im looking for book binding workshop from her lepas kahwin nanti mungkin.. hehhe.. nampak menarik..



daaaa... xoxox
