I bought an awl to be ready for book binding and it is a great tool to have in your sewing area. If you want to sew some leather to mend anything it is priceless for poking holes and then your needle just slips through. 🇨🇦
Made a needle book yesterday following your tutorial. It turned out great! Thank you for the step by step instructions. I didn't have a sheet of sticky paper so I used several strips of doubled-sided carpet tape! I just put one strip next to the other until the fabric was completely covered. I'm looking for a way of keeping it closed, perhaps with some sort of fancy elastic or a binder clip? Or I could sew a little pouch for it!
