Coptic Stitch Book
Today I'm sharing photos of the book that I made last week.
This is the first time I've made a book and bound it using a Coptic Stitch binding technique. It was so much fun but I must admit that I had to check out a book from the library and study it very closely before I could do the stitching . When the signatures are sewn in using this technique, the book will lay flat.
I used a heavy chip board covered with designer paper for the two covers.
The signatures were made using papers suitable for sketching. One book finished and two more to go.
Ta Ta For Now,
Kathy
