The Coptic stitch is easy to learn and it's one of the most useful. Use it any time you want an exposed spine book that opens flat for writing and drawing. I especially like to come up with great color combinations for the binding thread and cover paper. -- Christine Cox

What you'll need

 

Sewing with 8 needles at once may sound like it's difficult but it's a surprisingly easy technique to learn: more repetitive than difficult. The genuine Italian paper with golden accents, the long, thin format and the  complementary colors of waxed thread make this a dramatically beautiful journal! The rich text paper is a heavy weight so that your inks won't easily bleed through as you write or draw.
Difficulty rating:

Finished journal size: 11 1/8" X 4 1/2"
