Book cloth is a type of backed fabric that can be used to make covers for your handmade books. It has a paper backing that helps stiffen the fabric and give it some structure, and it also stops your glue seeping through the fabric. In this video, I show you how you can make your own book cloth at home using new or recycled fabrics. The book cloth I made in this video is made from an old bedsheet.
