It looks much sexier now. It even got to the point on the Tube where someone took out their normal looking shop bought diary and I got mine out just to show it off. They didn’t look at mine at all but I knew they were jealous.

I just learned how to coptic stitch before this article and it took several tries. Your video made it much more clear.

I want to do this but I have zero patience so I’m nervous for myself.

I made a cloth-bound book last semester for a midterm (and hand printed the fabric), and the kids I nanny love when I bring them little simple books made out of printer paper and card stock. If you want to get really fancy, you can buy a hunk of beeswax and make any string suitable for binding.
