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

  5. What a gorgeous book Kathy! The binding is not only beautiful, but how great is it that it allows the book to lay open flat. Wow!
