Hi Everyone!

Here's a short video flip through of my most recent "naked" journal. My intention was to create on open spine using a coptic stitch. It didn't go together quite as I had planned but I used a slow stitched spine cover and made it work. In the end, I'm really pleased with how it turned out so I thought it was worth sharing my experience in case it might help someone else out there.

I referenced a few other videos so here are the links:

For beginners, here's an entire playlist on the subject of using old books to create journals:

I also wanted to share the different digital kits I was referring to. I often use them in my journals and like to print them onto fabric to use for my slow stitch spine covers in as the inside covers of my journals.
