MCYT Couture Zine by @mcyt-couture-zine

It is safe to say that this is my final project to send-off the year of 2025! After four months of printing, pressing, sewing, and very slow progress with experimentation, I have finally bound one of things I've been looking after for months: a digital zine! More precisely, the MCYT Couture Zine by @mcyt-couture-zine.

This is the first time I have dealt such such an image-heavy bind, especially one with such an emphasis on visual look. So I decided on making this bind truly one of a kind... with unexpected results!

Making this zine bind was a tall endeavour. This is my first time ever printing a full-colour zine and I wanted to make sure all the art looked crisp. Solution: sneak around and print the pages using my office's laser printer. Then, I painstakingly folded every one of the 248 pages precisely in half to ensure all the images and layout don't get swallowed up in the gutter (or get bad folding creases).

After that, weeks of pressing them all to flatten any folds or creases. One that's done, I spent an entire day just sewing the pages and pressing them some more to squish out any spine-swelling. You will not expand on my watch!

Since I wanted the pages and images to open fully, I decided on making this book a sewn-boards + split-board binding. Meaning: I paste the cover boards onto the text block and cover the spine with cloth - actually cut from my own pajamas! My intention was to cover the spine and fold the top/bottom ends over the boards but behind the spine.

Unfortunately, this didn't go so well - testing the result actually resulted in the spine crumpling. I needed to make some cuts so the cloth could 'flex' as the book opens and closes, so I slowly cut 1 cm of cloth on either side of the spine, tucking in the middle piece.

Result: a flexible spine that opens fully with wide hinges!

Messy, but it works!

After that, it's all a matter of designing the covers (I added '2025' just in case there might be a future couture zine!), cutting them, and applying them onto the book, and voila!

The book opens very nicely, with only a few pages being difficult because the glue somehow seeped in, despite my best efforts. There were several page spreads that I had to punch through with a needle and thread, though thankfully the result did not ruin these pages.

The zine wasn't designed to be made into a book, and I did not check earlier to see if any visuals or fanart had to be punched through. If I had known about this earlier, I might have imposed or printed them differently so they wouldn't have thread obscuring the hard work of fanartists and writers. Mea culpa.

But with that said, this zine is a marvel, and I have to thank everyone on @mcyt-couture-zine for all their hard work in making this possible. The zine is beautiful! And I hope every contributor gets all the creative passion for their future, wherever that may be!

Gaza Updates:

– At least 48 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since dawn, including 33 people waiting for aid.

– Al-Awda Hospital reports 60 people wounded by occupation forces near the Netzarim Corridor aid distribution point.

A message from us:

– Israel continues bombing across Gaza, with occupation ground forces destroying what remains of homes and infrastructure in the north.

With everything going on, Gaza is being forgotten. The genocide has not stopped and the forced starvation, mass slaughter of civilians and destruction of homes and infrastructure continues.

Please keep sharing videos, stories, and testimonies from Gaza on your socials. Go to marches, take direct action, educate people on BDS and use our resources to keep Gaza in peoples minds 🫂

Don't forget that we need help. Donate to us. We are going through very difficult circumstances and hunger is exhausting our bodies. Donate here
