This gem of a bookbinding project introduces the French Link Stitch sewn over tape or ribbon.
Traditionally this beautiful sewing would be hidden inside the spine covering of a hard case, but this project celebrates the intricate beauty of the technique by making a feature of it.
Hard covers wrapped in the coordinating paper of your choice are added, securing the tails of the ribbon which then form an elegant tie closure for your journal.
This workshop teaches several key bookbinding techniques.
