Thank you!
You Signed Up For This by Solmussa. Cover is based off “In a Tideway” by F.A. Steel from 1897. Typeset & design by me. Featuring hand tied endbands, marbled endpages, hand ploughed textblock because it was too freakin big for the guillotine 😂. Labor of love.
(I’m not going to apologize anymore for posting screenshots of my IG post. It should just be expected at this point 😅)
An Ever-Fixed Mark by ninepiecesofcrait
Cover based off 1904 “Love Finds the Way” by Paul Leicester Ford.
Typeset & design by me!
Language Lessons by @msalexwp . Art by the lovely @lalunavinoalafragua (on tumblr & ao3). Typeset and design by me. 📸
Hi Sarah, why don’t you do more msalexwp binds? Um, because I love them sm and need an idea to do them justice. But when artwork with a certain red pencil kept coming across my feed, I became obsessed and knew it was a match made in heaven with this fic. When I tell you I AGONIZED over which art to do with which chapter, taking very high brow notes as to what, ahem, activities were happening. I cannot show you the full majesty of this typeset because it would get taken dooooown. (If you are chill go to the last slide on my ig post and see the quick flip thru).
Anywho, once I had permission from the lovely laluna I became fixated with the idea of these being photographs, capturing the various moments in time. And thus the scrapbook/photobook vibe bind was born.
Everyone simply must read this fic if you have not, and please go give @lalunavinoalafragua some lovin’!!
Don’t look much like a lover (doesn’t mean that I won’t try) by @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting . Cover art from Beach Read by Emily Henry with alterations drawn by me. Typeset and design by me. 🐚
I loved this wolfstar x beach read fic (I would pay good money to see THIS as a movie) and immediately knew I wanted to make it as Beach Read as possible. I spent way too long looking at fonts (per usual) and making the typeset as contemporary romance as I could. I am siriusly chuffed by how my cover art alterations turned out and had so much fun piecing together the cover elements. AI who?? Do shit by hand and make it wonky and imperfect!!! (But seriously, fuck AI. And Joanne.)
The Anatomy of Almost Forever by @sunsetplums . Typeset and design by me, featuring art by Vincent Van Gogh.
I love this fic and how this bind turned out. It’s a little piece of art just for me.
More pics of the typeset on my IG.
Whatever Our Souls are Made Of by damagecontrol & solmussa. Cover based off the 1899 book “In Ghostly Japan” by Lafcadio Hearn. Typeset and design by me. 🌸
Back before I was a jegulus convert I knew I would be reading this Hanahaki fic because I am truly powerless against the yearn. The pine. And this fic is a classic for a reason - it is so so good.
I knew I needed a cover with flowers/blossoms and when I came across this gorgeous Sakura cover I thought “easy enough!” WRONG!! I am not exaggerating when I say I spent 10 hours on these covers - tracing, cutting, weeding, applying HTV to bookcloth and THEN applying to the case to get the seamless wrap around (so stressful). I was TIRED when all was said and done 😅 but I LOVE how they turned out. Honorable mentions to the sewn endbands and typeset details. So when I go on a paperback bender to decompress after a vintage bind, now you know 😉

Gotta end the month strong with MORE fanfic classics! 😅 look how many I made this month…
The Road to Sweetwater by @euripidestrousers
Sorry I’m Late - I Was Searching For You by @euripidestrousers
The Mystery of the Pears
My Almost Lover by Alarainai (maybe will remake this cover someday since they stopped using lunefish while I was binding this, but most likely won’t lol)
Ps I did a whole tutorial on my IG stories of how I make these. If you are interested it is saved in my highlights!
Fanfiction Classics - Jegulus edition ⭐️ ☀️
(Let’s be real, it’s been like 90% Jegulus so far).
Although the Wind - by pastapug @milomoonsies
A Habit to Kick (The Age-Old Curse) - by supernova_stardust @supernova-stardust
Flat 390 & All Pain Is Practice - by @madammoons
Some of my absolute favorite Reggie/Jegulus renditions in this stack! I managed to keep all the ao3 logos on the spine this time - aaaand then forgot to remove my measuring line on one. 🤦♀️ ah well, nothing a little sharpie doesn’t kinda fix.
Back when we were dinosaurs by epicblueblanket @kaaaaaaarf . Cover based off The Land Before Time VHS and typeset images from the movie. Typeset & design & bound by me 🍁 🦕
So I’m convinced that you are either a paleontology girlie (gn) or a “was personally traumatized by land before time” girlie - one guess which I am 🙄. So let’s combine the two types in this little bind!! This is such a cute, funny, sexy, and heartfelt story about wolfstar dino nerds meeting and falling in love.
More pics on my IG. Keep fanfiction free, freaky, and fuck Joanne.
MORE Fanfiction Classics! Yes I am currently obsessed with this. Don’t worry, I do have other binds in the works 😅

Stealing Harry by @copperbadge
Well on my way to a shelf full. I may have some pretty unhinged plans. I meant it when I said 2026 was going to be the year of the paperback.
All details like typesets used, access to my covers and my typesets on my Notion (it is just much easier to keep all the details in one spot for this project). Keep fanfiction free, freaky, and fuck Joanne.
hi hi, i absolutely love your bindings!!! they're so so beautiful and look really cute! i especially love the one with the little knitted cardigan, that one is so adorable :)
I also have a question (you don't have to answer if you don't want to), but i'm wondering how you make your covers? I'm a starting bookbinder, and I've been painting my covers by hand, but it's not easy to do fine detailing that way, and I was wondering how you did it, because i love how detailed your covers are!!
You are so kind, thank you so much! Haha thank you for the love on the tiny knitwear, one of my finer unhinged moments 😉
I design my covers two ways. The first is using Procreate and tracing/drawing my covers, then using my Cricut to cut it on HTV that I then iron on. This is how I do all my vintage recreation covers. If you are on IG I have some story highlights that go over that process a bit more! The second way is using Canva to design the cover and then print it on paper or canvas. I do my modern reproductions that way and spend waaaaaay too long looking at fonts and images trying to find matches or what fits the vision in my head.
I hope that helps! If you have more questions feel free to DM me!
My collection groweth.

Introducing The Dabbling Shepherdess Bindery Fanfiction Classics Collection 📚
Confession - as much as I love making beautiful hardcover binds, I will always prefer to read a paperback. So for my all time favorite fics that I read again and again I am creating a paperback collection!
Starting off with a Wolfstar Classics edition of The Fall by EuripidesTrousers (wow, who saw that coming?) and a Jegulus Classics edition Sweet Poison by damagecontrol. I have chosen to go with the style of Penguins Classics almost purely because I cannot wait to have a (somewhat) uniform shelf-full and for someone to go “oh, you read a lot of classics” because YES I DO. 😜

Blends by rvltn909. Typeset & cover by me ☕️

Cup Rune Over by surveycorpsjean. Cover and art from “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” with drawings by Elihu Vedder from 1884. Typeset & design by me. Way more pics over on my IG!
I am obsessed with how this Jayvik arranged--marriage-to-end-a-war royalty au bind came out. OBSESSED!! This is my second time using vintage art from the cover inspiration source and it is a perfect fit. Each chapter image features cups or vessels (which is an important part of the story) AND I matched each one to what was happening within the chapter. The vibes!! Someone who has read this fic please scream with me!!
The cover is amazing. The endpapers are from @maleeka_mols_creates and are GORGEOUS. Gilded edges and hand tied endbands and a handmade rune bookmark charm to finish it all off. That’s not to say she doesn’t have some wonky bits (I swear even when I do TRY and measure I still do it wrong) but still, I love herrrrrr.
Long, Long Time by @thetriickyowl . Typeset and design by me. 🍓
Ok, so just because it CAN be made tiny, begs the question SHOULD it be made tiny. And the answer is yes, always. Because I sew my paperbacks before thermal binding them I feel extra secure in this little bind staying together.
This is an amazing Jayvik retelling of the Last of Us episode about Bill and Frank. Single-handedly launched a need to rewatch the entire series, and it’s still the best episode 🥲.
I also highly recommend checking out the linked artwork in the fic!! I LOVE it when authors link fanart for their fics.
